Los abogados de Zenimax a Oculus.

Cita:"It was only through the concerted efforts of Mr. Carmack, using technology developed over many years at, and owned by, ZeniMax, that [Oculus founder] Mr. Luckey was able to transform his garage-based pipe dream into a working reality."

Oculus niega que esto sea así. Mandan este mensaje a Zenimax.

Cita:"It's unfortunate, but when there's this type of transaction, people come out of the woodwork with ridiculous and absurd claims. We intend to vigorously defend Oculus and its investors to the fullest extent."

Y este es el mensaje que Zenimax ha hecho llegar a los abogados de Oculus. Básicamente, comentan que John Carmack se llevó material de software, que desarrolló como empleado de ID Tech, a Oculus. Zenimax pide un acuerdo de licencias o una batalla legal.

Cita:"ZeniMax confirms it recently sent formal notice of its legal rights to Oculus concerning its ownership of key technology used by Oculus to develop and market the Oculus Rift. ZeniMax's technology may not be licensed, transferred or sold without ZeniMax Media's approval. ZeniMax's intellectual property rights arise by reason of extensive VR research and development works done over a number of years by John Carmack while a ZeniMax employee, and others. ZeniMax provided necessary VR technology and other valuable assistance to Palmer Luckey and other Oculus employees in 2012 and 2013 to make the Oculus Rift a viable VR product, superior to other VR market offerings.

The proprietary technology and know-how Mr. Carmack developed when he was a ZeniMax employee, and used by Oculus, are owned by ZeniMax. Well before the Facebook transaction was announced, Mr. Luckey acknowledged in writing ZeniMax's legal ownership of this intellectual property. It was further agreed that Mr. Luckey would not disclose this technology to third persons without approval. Oculus has used and exploited ZeniMax's technology and intellectual property without authorization, compensation or credit to ZeniMax. ZeniMax and Oculus previously attempted to reach an agreement whereby ZeniMax would be compensated for its intellectual property through equity ownership in Oculus but were unable to reach a satisfactory resolution. ZeniMax believes it is necessary to address these matters now and will take the necessary action to protect its interests."

Me parecen muy chorras las exigencias de Zenimax. Ideológicamente estoy muy en contra de esa manera corporativa de ver el mundo.

Pretenden entrar en una guerra legal contra Facebook? Una de las empresas con más capital y más poderosas actualmente?

Ahora que Oculus tiene pasta, los parásitos cercan la presa

Yo entiendo que si fichan a alguien, ese alguien se incorporará a la nueva compañía con todo su bagaje de conocimientos en el pack. O si no, que le hagan una lobotomía a Carmack.
