RingCentral has been denied an injunction against Zoom that would have allowed it to carry on selling its Zoom-powered RingCentral Meetings (RCM) product.

This is the latest instalment of a saga that started in March which centres on the pair’s differing interpretations of their agreement.

Zoom sued RingCentral for selling (RCM) despite claiming it had ended the pair’s agreement, but RingCentral claims the terms mean it can continue selling the product with Zoom obliged to provide support to customers.

Specifically, the injunction centres on whether Zoom can block RCM customers from using the solution.

Zoom did this at the start of the court tussle before an injunction was granted in favour of RingCentral which meant had to continue supporting the product.

This injunction was later revoked, meaning Zoom could legally block access to RCM for customers who purchased it after 1 February 2021.

RingCentral last week tried unsuccessfully to have the injunction reinstated.

Three Appeal Court judges said that both Zoom and RingCentral had presented “plausible” interpretations of their agreement, adding that the court had acted reasonably by not granting RingCentral the injunction it had asked for.

The issue is expected to go to trial next year.
