Facebook Inc's big ambitions in the nascent virtual reality industry could be threatened by a court order that would prevent it from using critical software code another company claims to own, according to legal and industry experts. Randall said Oculus would possibly file an appeal that would "allow us to put this litigation behind us." An injunction would require Oculus, which Facebook acquired for $3 billion in 2014, to stop distributing the code to developers or selling those games that use it. At trial, Facebook said ZeniMax concocted its claims because of "sour grapes" over missing the VR trend. If Facebook can get past the injunction fight, the calculus could change, said Naughton.
