It would appear that ZENIMAX'S DAY IN COURT ISN'T OVER JUST YET
Subsequent to winning their suit against Occulus Rift to the tune of $500 million, Zenimax is currently recording a suit against Samsung, whose VR innovation is "controlled by Oculus."
Most strikingly, some the innovation that John Carmack spilled to Oculus was basic to building up the product and designer packs expected to control the organization amongst Oculus and Samsung.
HERE ARE THE FACTS
They may have a point, kind of. Much the same as they kind of had a point in their other claim.
How about we begin with the Oculus claim, which sets the legitimate point of reference that will definitely come up in the new trial. Oculus owes a large portion of a billion dollars to ZeniMax Media on the grounds that a court found the organization and its originator, CEO Palmer Luckey, blameworthy of using business insight that was infringing upon a non-exposure assention and a few "cut it out" takes note.
That insight originated from John Carmack, a previous ZeniMax Media representative who worked with Luckey to build up an Oculus Rift model before Luckey formally procured him.
For that, they have been discovered blameworthy. That is an essential connection, on the grounds that if ZeniMax can surely demonstrate that Carmack uncovered the particular programming segments that are the foundation of the Samsung Gear VR, they have an extremely solid case.
It is additionally essential to note that Oculus was found not blameworthy of many charges for this situation.

Above all, the charges of taking prized formulas and wrecking proof were dismisses by the court.
Presently, FOR THE TRIAL AT HAND.
As per the Ars Technica report, ZeniMax charges they have "security tapes" of Carmack letting another worker, Matt Hooper, in the workplace to see classified organization intel. Moreover, on an indistinguishable night from that office visit, "[Hooper] messaged contacts at Oculus to state he and Carmack had "planned an 'assault arrange' for the portable VR work that they would attempt at Oculus."
Those new claims may support their case for misappropriation of competitive advantages in this new trial.
The other indicate consider is the level of carelessness with respect to Samsung. On the off chance that Samsung acknowledged the Oculus innovation under the conviction that the innovation was gotten through genuine channels, it is difficult to see a judge discovering them at risk for this suit. Be that as it may, if Samsung had motivation to trust the innovation was gained through flawed channels, and they acknowledged it in any case, this case could end inadequately for them.
VR DRAMA
