Texas-based NPE SecurityProfiling, LLC has added VMware (6:23-cv-00768) as a defendant in its sole litigation campaign, launched in July 2016 with a suit against Intel and its then-subsidiary McAfee (acquired by an investor group led by Advent International in 2021). In the new Western District of Texas complaint, the plaintiff asserts eight patents broadly directed to anti-malware systems. VMware is accused of infringement through the provision of the VMware Carbon Black Cloud cybersecurity platform.
