On this day in 1993, Sega and game publisher Accolade announced that its litigation had been settled out of court, resulting in Accolade becoming an official licensed publisher for Sega's consoles.

Accolade had been publishing Genesis games without Sega's permission for a number of years at this point, causing Sega to litigate with claims of copyright and trademark infringement. Accolade countersued, claiming unfair business practices. The suit echoed Nintendo's litigation with Atari, though it never received quite as much attention.
