The lawsuit said VMware's cloud software infringes five Netflix patents covering aspects of operating virtual machines.
Broadcom and Netflix have been embroiled in a separate patent dispute since 2018 over Netflix's alleged infringement of Broadcom patents related to video streaming technology, with cases in California, Germany and the Netherlands. Broadcom's U.S. lawsuit against Netflix is scheduled to go to trial next June.
A Netflix spokesperson declined to comment on its new lawsuit. Spokespeople for Broadcom did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Palo Alto, California-based Broadcom acquired VMware for $69 billion last year. Netflix's lawsuit said that VMware's vSphere virtualization platform for deploying and managing virtual machines infringes the streaming giant's patents related to virtual-machine communications.
