The result of the <Lineage 3> civil suit has been overturned.
The NCsoft’s suit, which has sued Bluehole Studio and 11 <Lineage 3> ex-developers for the loss from leaving in group and discarding the trade secret, had won at the first trial in January 2010. And Bluehole Studio and 4 major developers had appealed against the decision.
The second trial took place on January 19 has ruled in favor of the Bluehole Studio but has still commended to discard all the trade secret asserted by NCsoft.
In conclusion, the latest trial has agreed the leak of the trade secret but not the loss of <Lineage 3>.
The lawsuit has been spotlighted from the game industry as it is the first precedent that a company called ?individuals who left in group and company they are?employed now?to account.
“First of all, we appreciate the smart decision made by the court. And we are also looking forward to <TERA>’s success as the good decision has been made before its commercial service,” said Bluehole Studio.
“We respect the decision about the loss due to the leak of the trade secret. But it is very regrettable that our loss from the leaving in group was not counted. We would like to appeal after?receive?the sentencing,” said NCsoft.
