A couple of weeks ago, ZeniMax was awarded $500 million in its lawsuit against Oculus VR after a jury found that Palmer Luckey and others had violated an NDA agreement by showing a prototype version of Doom 3 running on an early Oculus Rift prototype. This wasn?t the exact outcome that ZeniMax had hoped for, in fact, the company initially wanted over $2 billion as it believed Oculus stole trade secrets. As a result, ZeniMax is now pursuing other legal avenues by filing for an injunction over Oculus code, which could have a serious effect on the Rift, GearVR and games on the Oculus Home store.
The injunction was filed today according to FT, it was also filed at the same court where the initial lawsuit trial was held. To be specific, ZeniMax is attempting to block the use of lines of code used by developers making software for the Oculus Rift and Gear VR.
