VMware and Siemens are in a legal dispute over the jurisdiction for a software licensing lawsuit, with Siemens advocating for the case to be heard in Germany, citing a pre-existing legal agreement with VMware's Irish branch. VMware, however, initiated proceedings in the U.S., claiming the alleged unauthorized use of its software by Siemens occurred within American affiliated companies. The disagreement extends to the nature of the dispute, with Siemens presenting it as a contract issue while VMware views it as copyright infringement, justifying its decision to proceed in Delaware.
Siemens argues the lawsuit should be dismissed in the U.S. citing an established agreement designating Munich's courts for legal disputes, emphasizing prior correspondence on this matter.
VMware insists the alleged violations occurred in the U.S., classifying the dispute as copyright infringement and maintaining that Delaware jurisdiction is appropriate.
