Oracle filed a complaint against Rimini Street

The giant Oracle, which specializes in professional solutions, has filed a complaint against Rimini Street. The company offers support services and updates to Oracle products at bargain prices.

Oracle accuses the company of stealing content protected by intellectual property rights by connecting to its online services using identifiers of one of Oracle customers. In turn Seth Ravin, CEO of Rimini Street, denies and says "we will fight in this battle (...) we will respond vigorously and aggressive when the time is right."

Recall that in July 2007, SAP admitted that some employees of its subsidiary TomorrowNow had downloaded inappropriate content on the site of Oracle, adding that SAP employees had not had access. Henning Kagermann, head of SAP, said then: "Even a single inappropriate download is unacceptable. We sincerely regret what happened. "

It is interesting to note Seth Ravin is not only the founder of Rimini Street, but also co-founder of TomorrowNow.
