Following reports yesterday that Activision is being sued for misappropriation of trade secrets relating the DJ Hero, the company has issued a response.
"Activision Publishing strongly denies the allegations made by Genius Products and Numark Industries and believes that the claims are disingenuous and lack any merit. Yesterday, the L.A. Superior Court found that there was no evidence of any wrongdoing by Activision and refused to grant any restraining order against Activision.
"These allegations are nothing more than an attempt by Genius to place blame for the game's (Genius' Scratch: The Ultimate DJ) delay, as well as to divert attention from the cash flow, liquidity and revenue challenges Genius detailed in its March 30, 2009, SEC filing.
"By their own admission in October 2008, the game had fallen behind in production, which was well before Activision had any involvement with Genius, Numark or California 7 Studios regarding the game."
Slap! We await the response from Genius.
