Seems that AC fans have won this fight: American author John Beiswenger voluntarily dropped his charges of "copyright infringement on his work" against Ubisoft and their Assassin's Creed franchise, and instead focuses more on other business matters. Though he still claims that Ubisoft copied his work.
To qoute Beiswenger's lawyer, Kelly Clements Keller:
“My client’s decision to exercise his right to voluntarily dismiss the action, without prejudice, in no way diminishes his stalwart conviction in the merit of his claims against Ubisoft. He is unwavering in his belief that many key components of the video game franchise infringe on many key components of his novel, Link.”
“We believe Ubisoft has engaged in egregious acts of copyright infringement and, should he choose to seek redress through the courts in the future, we remain confident that a trier of fact would agree.”
