ZeniMax Back In Court With Oculus VR
Earlier this year ZeniMax was awarded $500 million from Oculus for failure to comply with a non-disclosure agreement, but the two companies' legal battle over VR trade secrets is not over.
The pair are back in court, with ZeniMax not only looking for another $500 million, but also to halt Oculus from selling its Rift headset or for 20 percent of revenue from Rift sales for 10 years. Oculus, meanwhile, wants the first award thrown out entirely or reduced, as well as damages from ZeniMax.
ZeniMax claims that Oculus stole trade secrets in the creation of its Rift headset.

Our Take
Given how the first award was only related to a non-disclosure agreement, I assumed that ZeniMax's fight would continue on other legal fronts.
