Hewlett-Packard Sued By Oracle

It appears that Hewlett-Packard is facing another battle as it thrives to survive in the world of the business and industry. It has been noted that Hewlett-Packard is being sued and accused by the Oracle.
The accusation rendered forth by the Oracle was regarding the illegal actions done by HPE. According to the post by The Recorder, "In a suit filed Tuesday, Oracle's attorneys at Latham & Watkins contend that Hewlett Packard Enterprise worked with a technical support company that illegally downloaded copyrighted software updates."
Although it has not yet been verified, the company has legally claimed its right and filed the complaint against HP particularly over its Solaris software. It stands out that the firm Oracle filed the complaint in one of the federal courts in federal court in San Jose, California."
More report from Bloomberg revealed, "Oracle claims HP Enterprise knew that Terix Computer Co. was marketing its support services without authorization and was also aware that Oracle required customers who installed Solaris updates to pay for technical support."
However, it stands to reason that both parties have been filing lawsuits against each other. According to the same report, Hewlett Packard has already filed a complaint against the Oracle and the trial is set to begin in May in the state court of San Jose, California. The claim of HP indicated how Oracle failed to impart promised software support for Intel Corp.'s Itanium microprocessors.
Meanwhile, HP Enterprise spokesman Blair Hinderliter did not render forth any comments regarding the rising lawsuit against the firm. As for Oracle, its General Counsel Dorian Daley provided a statement, and according to Daley, "Oracle obtained a judgment against Terix, and will continue to pursue companies like HP that misappropriate our software for their own financial gain."
As the tension escalates between the two companies, it remains to be seen how the proceedings in court would affect their overall operations and their business ties.
