Moonton Games and Riot Games have signed a settlement regarding their years-long dispute on IP rights.
The League of Legends maker has also withdrawn its lawsuits with the move.
This settlement comes after years in which Riot sued the Shanghai-based developer.
In 2017, the games firm filed a lawsuit against Moonton for "willful and bad faith infringement" of its intellectual property. The lawsuit was filed against Moonton's three titles: 2015's Magic Rush: Heroes, 2016's Legends: 5v5 MOBA, and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
However, the case was dismissed as the court said it would be "better heard" in China. The reasoning was that Riot Games is a subsidiary of Tencent, and Moonton is a part of ByteDance.
Still, in May 2022, a new case was filed against the maker of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. The case alleged that it repeatedly copied the title League of Legends: Wild Rift.
However, in November 2022, a California court blocked and dismissed the attempt to sue the Shanghai-based game studio.
