Siemens Industry Software Inc., (formerly Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software, Inc.) has been suing John Doe Defendants in the Southern District of Texas federal courts, and in the federal courts in which defendants reside.
Siemens is looking to convert accused defendants into paying customers, and they use a combination of attorneys and employees from their licensing arm to convince those that use their software without a license to correct their actions or face a copyright infringement lawsuit in federal court.
These days, there are a handful of attorneys who are filing lawsuits on behalf of Siemens — notably, Kate Geldmacher of ReedSmith LLP.
– Siemens is suing engineers for copyright infringement since 2016.
– They are soliciting business-level licenses from John Doe Defendants which can cost $30,000+ for each ‘seat’ or license.
– Siemens accuses defendants of copyright infringement to obtain their NX software.
