Ubisoft is no longer facing charges from author John Beiswenger, instead they are turning the tables right back at him and filing a complaint against Beiswenger.
Because Beiswenger ended the lawsuit without prejudice and was able to bring up the lawsuit again whenever he pleased, he was able to give Ubisoft the grounds to go right back at him claiming that Beiswenger's claims were "entirely meritless"
"The plaintiff in the case alleging copyright infringement by Ubisoft has dropped his claim, without settlement," states a Ubisoft representative. "Ubisoft believes this suit was frivolous and without merit, and is seeking a ruling to prevent future related claims. We are proud of our creative teams and will continue to vigorously defend the intellectual property they develop."
Ubisoft is fighting Beiswenger so he will no longer be able to try and file a complaint against Ubisoft ever again.
This is pleasant to know. I was very worried about the Ubisoft situation, and have now found out that Beiswenger did drop the case. And hopefully Ubisoft will be able to prevent further charges from taking place..!
