Earlier this month, ZeniMax was victorious in a case for breach of non-disclosure agreement, false designation, and copyright infringement against Oculus VR, winning an award of $500 million. The company released a statement that it will take further steps to ensure that there will be no more misappropriation of its technology.

One of the steps the company will consider is seeking an injunction, according to PC Gamer. An injunction has reportedly been filed, and it is projected that the sales of the Oculus Rift VR headset will most probably be affected, halting sales.

The proposal states that Oculus should be permanently banned from utilizing, selling, marketing, modifying, distributing, copying, servicing or offering any product that infringes its copyright. The injunction includes not only the VR headset, but also the PC system software, mobile system software, SDK, and many more.

Although the hardware may still be offered for sale, it will not be supported by the software and the inability to integrate leading game engines may paralyze its operation, according to The Verge. If the injunction is granted, Facebook will be pressured to enter into some amicable settlement agreement.

On one hand, ZeniMax has complained that the amount Oculus was fined is not that corrective given that the pockets of Facebook are so deep. The document states that the award is not sufficient to cease infringing, although substantial. After the jury released its verdict, the COO of Facebook Sheryl Sandberg said that the amount due is immaterial to the financial aspect of Facebook.

The plaintiff also complained that the award of damages cannot deter infringement of the intellectual property of ZeniMax which is why injunctive relief is necessary. Facebook said that it will fight against the judgment and plans to file a motion to set aside the said verdict.
