Our writer has gotten the first quote from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s turn answering questions in the case brought by ZeniMax against Oculus and its management.
ZeniMax, the former employer of Oculus Chief Technology Officer John Carmack, accuses the Facebook-owned company of stealing trade secrets and destroying evidence while also claiming ZeniMax as “the visionary developers of breakthrough VR technology.”
“Oculus products are based on Oculus technology,” Zuckerberg said in a Dallas court today.
Previously, Facebook released the following statement about the case: “We’re disappointed that another company is using wasteful litigation to attempt to take credit for technology that it did not have the vision, expertise, or patience to build.”
Carmack answered questions last week, saying “Palmer [Luckey] provided the system” while a lawyer for ZeniMax countered, claiming “Palmer provided the simple lenses.”
Editor’s Note: Writer Garrett Glass is in a Dallas courtroom this week following what’s going on for UploadVR. However, he’s not able to bring electronics into the courtroom so there is a bottleneck in the amount of information we are able to get out at once. Stay tuned for more updates today and as the case continues.
