Tinton Falls, N.J., April 21, 2020 – Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a recognized
global enterprise software leader in data management across cloud and
on-premises environments, today filed lawsuits in federal court in Delaware
alleging Cohesity, Inc. and Rubrik, Inc. collectively infringe seven Commvault
patents relating to data management
technologies including cloud, data deduplication, snapshots, search,
security and virtualization.
Commvault has invested more than $1 billion in research and development,
yielding nearly 900 patents worldwide, with 350 patent applications pending.
Commvault’s lawsuits allege that Rubrik and Cohesity have impermissibly
appropriated Commvault-patented inventions in their products to short-circuit
the development process and minimize the investment necessary for them to have
competitive products.
Commvault is pursuing a judgment finding that Rubrik and Cohesity have
infringed and are infringing its United States patents and seeks injunctive
relief, as well as monetary damages for past and ongoing infringement.
“Commvault is not a litigious company but given this clear patent
infringement by Cohesity and Rubrik, we have a responsibility to file these
lawsuits – we must stand up for our innovation and intellectual property,” said
Commvault Vice President and General Counsel Warren Mondschein.
The lawsuit alleges that Cohesity has infringed and continues to
infringe at least one claim of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,725,671, 7,840,533,
8,762,335, 9,740,723, 10,210,048, and 10,248,657 and Rubrik has infringed and
continues to infringe at least one claim of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,725,671,
7,840,533, 8,447,728, 9,740,723, 10,210,048, and 10,248,657.
