DENVER, Dec. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Brundidge
& Stanger P.C., a leading nationally recognized Intellectual
Property law firm, today announced that it has commenced a patent
infringement complaint against Zoom Video Communications, Inc.
(NASDAQ: ZM) on November 9th, 2021,
for infringement of its client Cyph, Inc.'s patents and
inventions.
Here are the details of the lawsuit:
- Cyph filed a lawsuit November 9,
2021 valued at hundreds of millions of dollars against Zoom
(NASDAQ: ZM) for intellectual property (IP) infringement.
- From November 2020 until now,
anytime individuals used Zoom and turned on their End-to-End
Encryption (E2EE) encryption option, they were using Cyph's
technology (not Zoom's).
- Zoom told companies that needed to protect consumer data (such
as healthcare companies) that their data was encrypted and
benefited financially. Meanwhile, Zoom was using Cyph's proprietary
technology that they did not pay for.
Cyph, Inc. has developed and patented a useful and highly
valuable information security system based on advanced encryption
technology, which provides End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) for secure
communications.
Cyph's patented technologies are highly sought after for
security systems and for secure communications across mobile and
fixed networks. Cyph's patent portfolio includes numerous patents
which it alleges are infringed by Zoom (NASDAQ: ZM) and others
today. Prior to the patented inventions of Cyph, Inc., secure and
efficient multi-party communications across mobile and fixed
networks did not exist. Companies like Zoom (NASDAQ: ZM) could not
provide E2EE technologies today without practicing Cyph's patented
inventions.
Cyph's founders are former full-time software engineers at
SpaceX directly hired by Elon Musk
and other top executives at SpaceX.
Cyph's executives have a positive reputation within the tech
community through their talks at such conferences as Black Hat, DEF
CON, and TechCrunch Disrupt. Cyph had made every effort to resolve
this issue with Zoom amicably, and believes it is important for
Zoom and others to know that Cyph values its technology and will
seek to enforce its legal rights in its technology. Brundidge &
Stanger, P.C. is confident that a successful result can be achieved
in this matter.
This press release may be considered Attorney Advertising in
some jurisdictions under the applicable law and ethical rules.
Goel Fund (http://www.goelfund.com) is Cyph's lead investor and
first backed the company when they came out of Mach37
(https://www.mach37.com), a Virginia-based incubator.
Founded in 2014, Cyph (https://www.cyph.com) is a private
communication suite built around a patented secure application
platform. Cyph combines cutting-edge end-to-end cryptography with
consumer-friendly ease of use. Cyph's founders believe that privacy
is more important than ever and that current encryption solutions
are too difficult for real people to use properly: "it doesn't
matter how strong a lock is if no one ever bothers to lock it".
Cyph's mission is to make powerful encryption tools as easy as
possible for everyone to use and adopt as the norm.
