Symantec on Thursday filed a lawsuit accusing Microsoft of intellectual property theft and breach of contract related to data storage technology.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in Seattle, seeks unspecified damages and an injunction barring Microsoft from using the Symantec technology, according to a copy of the lawsuit.
The complaint involves Symantec's Volume Manager product, acquired as part of the company's takeover of Veritas Software. Volume Manager allows operating systems to store and manipulate large amounts of data, according to a Symantec statement.
A Microsoft representative had no immediate comment.
