Siemens AG is contesting a lawsuit filed by VMware in a Delaware court over claims of unlicensed software usage. VMware alleges that Siemens used software beyond what is allowed under its licenses, a situation that arose during support contract negotiations. Siemens asserts that a Master Software License Agreement they previously established dictates that any disputes should be resolved in German courts. VMware argues that violations by Siemens' U.S. companies warrant the case being tried in Delaware, leading to an ongoing jurisdictional dispute between the two firms.
Siemens argues that its Master Software License Agreement with VMware includes a forum selection clause designating German courts for resolving disputes, contending the matter should be dismissed.
VMware counters that claims of unlicensed software use by Siemens' U.S. affiliates warrant a trial in Delaware, asserting that location is justified based on specific violations.
