Here's why Oculus VR thinks Zenimax's lawsuit is 'silly'

The Oculus Rift virtual-reality headset is one of the next big things in computing, and this has already attracted the lawyers.

Oculus VR just released a 30-page document that defends itself from the claim that it stole trade secrets from Zenimax Media, which is the publisher of Doom, owner of Quake developer id Software, and former employer of Oculus chief technology officer John Carmack. In May, Zenimax filed a lawsuit that says Oculus Rift inventor and company founder Palmer Luckey used technology that Carmack invented while working for Zenimax. The publisher is looking for monetary relief, but Oculus VR denies the claims. This lawsuit arose just a few weeks after Facebook purchased the Oculus Rift company for $2 billion, and Luckey and his team claim Zenimax’s lawyers are simply looking to grab some of that money.
