The battle between Oculus and video game company Zenimax over who created the technology for the virtual reality headset Rift finally dragged Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg into the picture. In the wake of Zenimax accusing Oculus of destroying evidence in order to hide the fact that latter stole company secrets to make the Rift, Zuckerberg is now expected to give a testimony over the matter.
Oculus was acquired by Facebook for $2 billion, which then became a branch company to focus on creating VR products. Now, that investment is potentially at risk because of accusations that the startup was using stolen technology, Business Insider reports.
On January 17th, Zuckerberg will need to go to court to give his testimony as part of the ongoing battle that started in force on January 9th. The dispute itself started two years ago, with Zenimax arguing that Palmer Luckey, the currently known creator of the technology onboard the Rift didn’t have the skills to actually make it.
Before being forced to become involved, Facebook made the attempt to shield Zuckerberg entirely, saying that he shouldn’t have to answer questions with regards to his acquisitions. The judge presiding over the case didn’t see it that way, which is why he had asked the tech figure to take the stand.
As to what Zuckerberg is expected to even give testimony about, the premier item on the docket right now is the accusation that evidence has been destroyed by Oculus to cover up the technology theft. According to a statement that Zenimax sent to Ars Technica, the company is looking forward to presenting evidence to support their claims.
"That evidence includes the theft of trade secrets and highly confidential information, including computer code,” the statement reads. “ZeniMax will also present evidence of the Defendants' intentional destruction of evidence to cover up their wrongdoing. ZeniMax and id Software are the visionary developers of breakthrough VR technology and look forward to the vindication of our claims."
