Epic Files Motion to Dismiss in Case Against Silicon Knights
After developer Silicon Knights sued Epic Games on the grounds of Epic providing a less-than-capable Unreal Engine 3 to Silicon Knights, Epic has responded with a Motion to Dismiss.

From Gamasutra:

Quote -
Epic's motion to dismiss memorandum, sent to Gamasutra by Epic's Mark Rein, says of Silicon Knights that it "used Epic's intellectual property to develop what SK expects will be a commercially lucrative video game that it is about to publicly release," but, "having exploited Epic's intellectual property to its advantage, SK now seeks to renege on its payment obligations under the License Agreement. In short, SK's lawsuit is a pretense. 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."
