A judge has granted RingCentral’s request for a temporary restraining order against Zoom in the second instalment of the pair’s legal wrangling.
The injunction means that RingCentral can continue to sell its Meetings product, which is powered by Zoom’s video technology.
Zoom had sought to stop RingCentral selling the product, claiming doing so now infringes Zoom’s trademark and copyright.
In a statement, RingCentral said: “We are pleased by the Court’s decision granting RingCentral’s request for a temporary restraining order against Zoom.
“This affirms our right to continue selling RingCentral Meetings powered by Zoom.
“While the majority of our new customers are choosing RingCentral Video, we believe in giving customers choices”
“We will continue our laser-focused commitment to deliver an unmatched suite of products and services that will give people the freedom to work from anywhere.”
Zoom and RingCentral have had a partnership for around seven years that saw Zoom’s tech form the foundation of RingCentral’s Meeting product.
Last year RingCentral announced a platform built with its own propriety tech, RingCentral Video, and has since said that it will move customers away from the Zoom-backed app.
In a recently filed court document Zoom said that RingCentral has breached its agreement, revealing that it attempted to terminate the original partnership – only for RingCentral to refuse and carry on selling Meetings.

In response to the restraining order, a Zoom spokesperson said: “The court issued its temporary order before Zoom had an opportunity to respond and it remains in place only until the matter can be heard next Thursday.
“We remain confident in our position and look forward to making our case and resolving this issue through the court system.”
