05:53 PM EDT, 03/20/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Nutanix ( NTNX ) said late Wednesday it has sued Tessell alleging that the company engaged in willful copyright and patent infringement.

The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court in San Jose, also alleges that Tessell engaged in theft of Nutanix's ( NTNX ) source code and intellectual property related to its database service offering, the company said.

"Nutanix ( NTNX ) is seeking the return of its stolen intellectual property, an injunction to stop further infringement, restitution for the Nutanix ( NTNX ) resources taken by the three former employees for the founding of Tessell, and money damages in an amount to be proven," the company said.

Tessell didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
