"SK's lawsuit is a pretense," Rein said in his statement. "SK does not have any valid claims against Epic. SK filed suit in a bid to renegotiate the License Agreement, in the hope that Epic will prefer that to the burden of responding to discovery and associated adverse publicity." Epic is seeking minimum compensatory damages in excess of $650,000, as well as other injunctive relief.
