Caltech sues <a href="https://laohu8.com/S/ZM">Zoom</a> over videoconferencing patent

By Blake Brittain

March 2 (Reuters) - The California Institute of Technology sued Zoom ZM.O in Delaware federal court on Monday, accusing the tech company of infringing one of the university's patents covering videoconferencing technology.

The Pasadena, California school said that Zoom's video communication software violates its rights in videoconferencing technology it developed to assist scientists at the Switzerland-based European Organization for Nuclear Research $(CERN)$.

Spokespeople for Zoom did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the complaint. A Caltech spokesperson declined to comment.

Caltech said its professors developed the patented technology to support conferencing between CERN scientists in more than 140 countries. The complaint said that the CERN videoconferencing system had 26,500 registered users as of 2006.

Zoom was founded in 2011 and gained popularity as a remote meeting platform during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lawsuit said Zoom's platform misuses patented Caltech innovations for improving videoconferencing system performance and reliability.

Caltech requested an unspecified amount of monetary damages.

The case is California Institute of Technology v. Zoom Communications Inc, U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, No. 1:26-cv-00214.

For Caltech: Kalpana Srinivasan and Daniel Shih of Susman Godfrey

For Zoom: attorney information not yet available
