Zuckerberg testifies in $2 billion lawsuit that Oculus did not steal core VR tech

Facebook CEO  - Mark Zuckerberg

Zuckergerg was forced to leave his signature grey t-shirt at home today and suit up for court.



The Facebook CEO was called to the stand in a Dallas courtroom today to testify in an explosive $2 billion lawsuit which claims that Oculus Inc. ( Which FB acquired in March of 1014 ) was build upon technology stolen from Zenimax Media.



The lawsuit is structured around dissecting the help that Oculus founder Palmer Lucky sought out from ZeniMax ( a Maryland-based video games company ) employee John Carmack when he was building his initial VR headset Product. Luckey was under NDA at the time of his meeting with Carmack and other at Zenimax-owned companies who allegedly assisted the teenage founder in remedying some technical issues that he had been facing in building his Rift VR headset. ZeniMax also claims that Carmack, who would later go on to join Oculus as its CTO when his contract expired, contributed stolen intellectual property to the Oculus team's core tech upon joining.



In court today, the Facebook CEO remained defiant in the face of the claims.



"Oculus products are based on Oculus technology," Zuckerberg told the court.
