    No work I have ever done has been patented. Zenimax owns the code that I wrote, but they don't own VR.

      @ID_AA_Carmack Maybe you could spin up a sample app for them so they could virtually pull their head out of their ass.

        @ID_AA_Carmack Oh you are talking about that company which sued someone for the use of the word "Scrolls". They have lawyers from the 30s :)

      @ID_AA_Carmack They own what you created working there. You're just a thief running scared. I can't wait until the day they crush you!#manup

      @ID_AA_Carmack It is too bad you didn't wrangle an IP exemption as part of the buyout.

      @ID_AA_Carmack is this by chance originally or a longterm conscious decision?

      @ID_AA_Carmack I don't think they cared until a multi-billion dollar company bought out Oculus.

      @ID_AA_Carmack unless you count "Carmack's Reverse", which is definitely patented... just not by you or your employers

      @ID_AA_Carmack Hopefully this ends well. ZeniMax has a track record of being dicks.

        @ID_AA_Carmack but ZM could potentially own code currently in use in the OR if developed by you whilst there?

        @nemof @ID_AA_Carmack Not if he wrote that code during his free time at home.

        @ThePorkChopper @ID_AA_Carmack speculation, but, it may depend on what his contract with zenimax stated. see herehttp://recode.net/2014/05/01/heres-the-agreement-oculus-allegedly-broke-according-to-zenimax/ …
