In October 1993,[2] Atari Corporation filed a lawsuit against Sega for an alleged infringement of a patent originally created by Atari Corp. in the 1980s,[3] with the former seeking a preliminary injunction to stop manufacturing, usage and sales of hardware and software for both Sega Genesis and Game Gear.[4] On September 28, 1994,[5][6] both parties reached a settlement in which it involved a cross-licensing agreement to publish up to five titles each year across their systems until 2001.[4][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Gain Ground was in consideration to be converted for the Atari Jaguar as part of the deal if Sega could not provide a copy of the source code of Zaxxon 3-D, but it was scrapped in favor of the latter.[4]
