====Legal dispute with Sun Microsystems====In September 2007, NetApp started proceedings against Sun Microsystems, claiming that the ZFS File System developed by Sun infringed its patents.
7. aprila 2014 je bil NetApp uradno obveščen s strani pristojnih organov v ZDA, ko so zaključili pregled zadeve in ugotovili, da NetApp ni kršil izvoznih zakonov ZDA ter da je na tem področju primer zaključen.
