Zoom and RingCentral have reached an amicable agreement

RingCentral Inc. and Zoom Video Communications Inc. has finally established contact after a legal battle for RingCentral’s continued need for Zoom’s video conferencing technology despite Zoom’s decision not to extend their relationship. “The firms have settled the dispute in California Federal Court and therefore will continue to operate with each other while cloud service RingCentral transitions to just a new video-meeting service,” the companies announced in a simultaneous press release. They have settled the dispute amongst themselves, according to a filing in federal court in San Jose, California.”
In a press statement, RingCentral Chief Administrative Officer John Marlow stated that clients of RingCentral Meetings would receive full support throughout the transition process. Zoom’s general counsel, Jeff True, said in a statement that the firm was pleased with the amicable resolution, which allowed the party to continue winding down their collaboration.
It claimed in court that RingCentral had been dangling Zoom in from of potential customers to persuade them to sign multi-year contracts with them despite the fact that their contract had expired, and it also asked the court to order RingCentral to charge an unrevealed sum of money damages and also to prevent RingCentral by using its trademarks in the future.
The lawsuit was heard by U.S. District Judge Edward Davila, who later denied RingCentral’s motion. RingCentral appealed this verdict to a ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld its verdict in October. A zoom was handled by Douglas Lumish at Latham & Watkins throughout the case, while RingCentral was represented by Brad Karp, Melinda Haag, and Walter Brown of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison; before the court, Clement Roberts of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe.
Zoom Video Communications Inc v. RingCentral Inc, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, case no. 5:21-cv-01727 is the name of the case.
