Reaction of Cohesity Attacked by Commvault for Patent Infringement

Following the press release Commvault Attacks Cohesity and Rubrik With Patent Infringement published on April 27, 2020, here is the reaction of Lynn Lucas, CMO, Cohesity:

“It is not uncommon for legacy vendors to attempt to disrupt the disruptors with frivolous lawsuits in an attempt to stifle innovation and sales. In this case, we were made aware of Commvault’s lawsuit not by their legal representatives but via the media. We believe there is no merit to this complaint, and we will, of course, stand our ground and defend our technology vigorously. 
“This complaint appears to be an attempt to slow our rapid growth and impede our accelerating success. Our view is that innovation can’t be stopped. We believe the market is excited about our vision and extraordinary solutions, as evidenced by our recent $250 million series E funding round and the 100% increase we’ve seen in customers as well as data under management.”
