Oculus and Luckey each have to pay $50 million for false designation. And Iribe has to pay $150 million for the same, final count. <錢是怎麼攤就不翻譯了> Reached for comment shortly after the verdict, Oculus said they will be appealing, but that they look forward to eventually putting the case behind them. Oculus 表示將會上訴但他們的期望是可以將這件事情拋在腦後 “The heart of this case was about whether Oculus stole ZeniMax's trade secrets, and the jury found decisively in our favor,” an Oculus spokesperson told Polygon. “We're obviously disappointed by a few other aspects of today's verdict, but we are undeterred. Oculus products are built with Oculus technology. Our commitment to the long-term success of VR remains the same, and the entire team will continue the work they've done since day one – developing VR technology that will transform the way people interact and communicate. “ "我們認為今天的判決所述符合了我們的預期" Oculus 的代表這樣表示 "我們對於今天判決的部分觀點並不認同，但是挫折不會停止我們的腳步。 Oculus 的產品是由 Oculus 的科技所構築，我們將會持續發展VR科技" ZeniMax tells Polygon that in light of the decision, it may seek an injunction to stop the sale of Oculus Rift headsets, at least temporarily. ZeniMax 則告訴了我們他們可能會尋求禁售 Oculus Rift 至少是暫時性的禁售 Robert Altman, ZeniMax’s Chairman and CEO, added that “technology is the foundation of our business and we consider the theft of our intellectual property to be a serious matter. We appreciate the jury’s finding against the defendants, and the award of half a billion dollars in damages for those serious violations.” ZeniMax 的CEO表示 "科技是我們公司的基石，我們認為竊取我們的智財是不可輕忽的事情我們感謝庭上否定了辯方的判決以及給予我們五億元的賠償" <以下略就是介紹官司的前因了> 心得: 所以經過兩年的準備與最近的宣判 Oculus 最終還是在官司中敗訴雖然說目前還未確定到底事態會不會發展到 Oculus 禁售但確定的是這對 Oculus 陣營又是一記沉重的悶棍 ===順帶附上HackerNews有人整理的時序=== https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13545796 If the original complaint is to be believed(1) - which Juror's found credible -the course of events, tldr was something like this: - Zenimax bought ID software for >$100m(1) on June 24, 2009. - Carmack signed up with Zenimax for an earn-out / golden-handcuffs agreement that ended in June of 2013. - Carmack was enthralled with VR. - Carmack found Palmer via an internet forum, reached out to get a rift to try. - Carmack tinkered with the Rift, adding sensors, building calibration, etc. while on the clock / using hardware from zenimax. - Carmack brought a prototype of the Rift working on Doom 3 to E3 with him providing Oculus with their early press. - Zenimax realized the extent to which Carmack was enabling Oculus and worked to negotiate equity with Brendan Iribe. - Oculus sent Zenimax a proposal to discuss a partnership Sept 21, 2012 but never followed up / followed through. - Carmack quit Zenimax the day his contract was up in June 2013, joined Oculus as CTO a few months later and took his 5 best guys with him. - FB bought Oculus March 2014, Zenmix got pissed and sued. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 130.158.125.63 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/VR/M.1486021245.A.317.html ※ 編輯: kira925 (130.158.125.63), 02/02/2017 15:59:12
