The bad blood between ZeniMax and Oculus continues after the hotly contested trial over broken NDAs that resulted in a $500 million award for ZeniMax. Oculus has already filed for a new trial, but the two parties were back in court with ZeniMax asking for even more money again.

ZeniMax is seeking another $500 million (via ArsTechnica) because of the "ongoing harm" and an injunction to halt all Rift sales until the "stolen technology" is removed. If the court doesn't see fit to award that, then ZeniMax is seeking a 10-year deal for 20% of the revenue generated by the sale of Rift headsets. "The jury verdict clearly establishes that Oculus wrongly obtained ZeniMax VR technology under the NDA and used it... to establish a business that would not have existed without ZeniMax," the filing states.

Oculus, on the other hand, refuted the claims, saying that ZeniMax has not demonstrated ongoing harm, and that an injunction would be a disservice to the public, especially if Oculus had to rewrite the code at issue in the case. Oculus said that the lateness of ZeniMax's filing means that Oculus would need to go through even more testing, rewriting and preparation than it would if ZeniMax had filed its claim at the time the original NDA breach occurred.

Even with the new filing, Oculus still is maintaining that the original jury verdict is flawed and should be thrown out.

U.S. District Judge Ed Kinkeade of the Southern District of Texas, who is hearing the case, has asked ZeniMax for more information on the offending code that supposedly exists in the Rift headsets. He also encouraged the two sides to somehow reach a settlement, as he is not inclined to "split the baby," inferring that one side will not be happy with whatever he may end up ruling. That ruling could come any day, as the judge said that he wants to "resolve the heck out of [this] big, hairy fight" as soon as possible.

It is doubtful that a settlement will be reached as the two sides in this ugly divorce have too much riding on custody of the baby that is the Oculus Rift. It will probably take a Judge Kinkeade ruling to get both sides to get both sides to move on, although it sounds like only one side could be vindicated by the result.
