Netflix files lawsuit against VMware over virtual machine patents

reuters.com

Netflix has filed a lawsuit against Broadcom's VMware in a California federal court, claiming that VMware's cloud software infringes five of its patents related to virtual machines. This marks a new legal battle between the two companies. Previously, Broadcom and Netflix were involved in a separate patent dispute since 2018, focusing on video streaming technology. That case is set to go to trial next June. Netflix is seeking unspecified monetary damages in this new lawsuit, which centers on VMware's vSphere platform. Broadcom acquired VMware for $69 billion last year.
