Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey must face breach-of-contract lawsuit, judge rules

Palmer Luckey may still end up in court.

U.S. district judge William Alsup has ruled that a breach-of-contract claim against Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey can move forward (via Reuters). In May, Total Recall Technologies — a Hawaiian-based company that is making head-mounted displays — sued Luckey for violating a nondisclosure agreement and confidentiality agreement that he signed while working for the company in 2011. The suit claims that Luckey took information and feedback he received from Total Recall and used it to help build what would turn into the Oculus Rift. Luckey denies these claims, and he has said that this is about other companies wanting a piece of the $2 billion that Facebook spent to acquire Oculus VR.
