The
Hewlett-Packard Company
, commonly shortened to
Hewlett-Packard
(
HEW
-lit
PAK
-ərd
) or
HP
, was an American multinational
information technology
company. It was founded by
Bill Hewlett
and
David Packard
in 1939 in a one-car garage in
Palo Alto, California
. Growing to become an influential high-tech powerhouse at the heart of
Silicon Valley
, the company was known for its progressive business philosophy, deemed
the HP Way
. HP developed and provided a wide variety of hardware components, as well as software and related services, to consumers, small and medium-sized businesses (
SMBs
), and fairly large companies, including customers in government sectors. At its peak in 2011, HP employed 350,000 people around the globe.

The company officially split into
Hewlett Packard Enterprise
and
HP Inc.
in 2015.
HP initially produced a line of electronic test and measurement equipment. It won its first big contract in 1938 to provide the
HP 200B
, a variation of its first product, the
HP 200A
low-distortion frequency oscillator,
[

]
for
Walt Disney
's production of the 1940 animated film
Fantasia
, which allowed Hewlett and Packard to formally establish the Hewlett-Packard Company on July 2, 1939.
[
4
]
The company grew into a
multinational corporation
widely respected for its products. HP was the world's
leading PC manufacturer
from 2007 until the second quarter of 2013 when
Lenovo
moved ahead of HP.

HP specialized in developing and manufacturing computing, data storage, and networking hardware, designing software, and delivering services. Major product lines included personal computing devices, enterprise and industry standard servers, related storage devices, networking products, software, and a range of printers and other imaging products. The company directly marketed its products to households, small- to medium-sized businesses, and enterprises, as well as via online distribution, consumer-electronics, and office-supply retailers, software partners, and major technology vendors. It also offered services and a consulting business for its products and partner products.
In 1999, HP
spun off
its electronic and bio-analytical test and measurement instruments business into
Agilent Technologies
; HP retained focus on its later products, including computers and printers. It
merged
with
Compaq
in 2002 in what was then a major deal within the industry.
[
8
]
They made
numerous other acquisitions
including
Electronic Data Systems
in 2008, which led to combined revenues of $118.4 billion that year and a
Fortune 500
ranking of 9 in 2009, and later
3Com

[

and
3PAR
, all in 2010,
[

followed by
Autonomy Corp
.
[
13
]
However, as a result of the turmoil created by several of these acquisitions, the company's fortunes swiftly declined in the 2010s.
[
14
]
[
15
]
This led to Hewlett-Packard Company's split into two separate companies on November 1, 2015: its enterprise products and services business were spun-off to form
Hewlett Packard Enterprise
, while its personal computer and printer businesses became HP Inc. The split was structured so that the former Hewlett-Packard Company would change its name to HP Inc. and spin off Hewlett Packard Enterprise as a newly created company. HP Inc. retained the old Hewlett-Packard's stock-price history and original NYSE ticker symbol; Hewlett Packard Enterprise trades under its own ticker symbol: HPE.

Bill Hewlett
and

graduated with degrees in
electrical engineering
from
Stanford University
in 1935. The company started in a
garage
in
Palo Alto
during a fellowship they had with past professor
Frederick Terman
at Stanford during the
Great Depression
, whom they considered a mentor.
[

]
In 1938, Packard and Hewlett began part-time work in a rented garage with an initial capital investment of
US$538
(equivalent to $12,305 in 2025). In 1939, Hewlett and Packard decided to formalize their partnership. They tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard (HP) or Packard-Hewlett.
[
19
]
Hewlett and Packard's first financially successful product was a precision audio
oscillator
known as the
HP 200A
, which used a small incandescent
light bulb
as a temperature dependent
resistor
in a critical portion of the circuit, and a
negative feedback
loop to stabilize the amplitude of the output sinusoidal waveform. This allowed the HP 200A to be sold for
$89.40
when competitors were selling less stable oscillators for over
$200
. The 200 series of generators continued production until at least 1972 as the 200AB, still tube-based but improved in design through the years.
[
20
]
One of the company's earliest customers was Bud Hawkins, chief
sound engineer
for
Walt Disney Studios
, who bought eight HP 200B audio oscillators (at
$71.50
each) to be used in the animated film
Fantasia
. HP's profit at the end of 1939, its first full year of business, was
$1,563
(equivalent to $36,177 in 2025) on revenues of
$5,369
.
[
21
]
In 1942, they built their first building at 395 Page Mill Road and were awarded the
Army-Navy "E" Award
in 1943. HP employed 200 people and produced the audio oscillator, a wave analyzer, distortion analyzers, an audio-signal generator, and the Model 400A
vacuum-tube voltmeter
during the war.

Hewlett and Packard worked on counter-radar technology and artillery shell
proximity fuzes
during World War II; the work exempted Packard from the draft,
[
22

but Hewlett had to serve as an officer in the
Army Signal Corps
after being called to active duty.
HP was incorporated on August 18, 1947, with Packard as president. Sales reached
$5.5 million
in 1951 with 215 employees. The company went public on November 6, 1957.

The
HP200A
, a precision audio
oscillator
, was the company's first financially successful product.
HP is recognized as the symbolic founder of
Silicon Valley
, though it did not actively investigate
semiconductor devices
until a few years after the "
traitorous eight
" abandoned
William Shockley
to create
Fairchild Semiconductor
in 1957. The company's HP Associates division was established around 1960 under the leadership of
Jack Melchor
to develop semiconductor devices primarily for internal use.
[
24
]
Instruments and
calculators
were some of the original HP products that used semiconductor devices.
During the 1960s, HP partnered with
Sony
and
Yokogawa Electric
in Japan to develop several high-quality products. The products were not a huge success, as there were high costs involved in building HP-looking products in Japan. In 1963, HP and Yokogawa formed the joint venture Yokogawa-Hewlett-Packard to market HP products in Japan.
[
25
]
HP bought Yokogawa Electric's share of Hewlett-Packard Japan in 1999.
[
26
]
HP spun off the small company Dynac to specialize in digital equipment. The name was picked so that the HP logo could be turned upside down to be a reflected image of the logo of the new company. Dynac was eventually renamed Dymec and folded back into HP in 1959.
[

]
HP experimented with using
Digital Equipment Corporation
(DEC) minicomputers with its instruments, but entered the computer market in 1966 with the
HP 2100
/
HP 1000
series of minicomputers after it decided that it would be easier to build another small design team than deal with DEC. The minicomputers had a simple
accumulator
-based design with two accumulator registers and, in the HP 1000 models, two
index registers
. The series was produced for 20 years in spite of several attempts to replace it, and was a forerunner of the
HP 9800
and
HP 250
series of desktop and business computers.
Beginning in 1961, Hewlett-Packard was listed on the
New York Stock Exchange
(as well as the now-closed
Pacific Exchange
) under its own
ticker symbol
, "HWP".
[

]
At the end of 1968, Packard handed over the duties of CEO to Hewlett to become
United States Deputy Secretary of Defense
in the incoming Nixon administration. He resumed the chairmanship in 1972 and served until 1993, but Hewlett remained the CEO.
Introduced in 1968, "The new
Hewlett-Packard 9100A
personal computer is ready, willing, and able ... to relieve you of waiting to get on the big computer."
The
HP 3000
was an advanced stack-based design for a business computing server, later redesigned with
RISC
technology. The
HP 2640
series of
smart
and
intelligent
terminals introduced forms-based interfaces to
ASCII
terminals, and also introduced
screen labeled function keys
. The HP 2640 series included one of the first bit mapped graphics displays that, when combined with the
HP 2100
21MX F-Series microcoded Scientific Instruction Set,
[
28
]
enabled the first commercial
WYSIWYG
presentation program
,
BRUNO
, that later became the program HP-Draw on the HP 3000. Although scoffed at in the formative days of computing, HP surpassed IBM as the world's largest technology vendor in terms of sales.
[
29
]
HP was identified by
Wired
magazine as the producer of the world's first device to be called a personal computer: the
Hewlett-Packard 9100A
, introduced in 1968.
[
30
]
HP called it a desktop calculator because, as Hewlett said: "If we had called it a computer, it would have been rejected by our customers' computer gurus because it didn't look like an
IBM
. We therefore decided to call it a calculator, and all such nonsense disappeared." An engineering triumph at the time, the logic circuit was produced without any
integrated circuits
, and the CPU assembly was entirely executed in discrete components. With
CRT
display, magnetic-card storage, and printer, the price was around $5,000. The machine's keyboard was a cross between the keyboard of a scientific calculator and the keyboard of an adding machine. There was no alphabetic keyboard.
Apple
co-founder
Steve Wozniak
originally designed the
Apple I
computer while working at HP and offered it to them under their
right of first refusal
to his work. They did not take it up as the company wanted to stay in scientific, business, and industrial markets. Wozniak said that HP "turned him down five times", but that his loyalty to HP made him hesitant to start Apple with
Steve Jobs
.
[

The company earned global respect for a variety of products. They introduced the world's first handheld scientific electronic
calculator
in 1972 (the
HP-35
), the first handheld programmable in 1974 (the
HP-65
), the first alphanumeric, programmable, expandable in 1979 (the
HP-41
C), and the first symbolic and graphing calculator, the
HP-28C
.
Like their scientific and business calculators, HP
oscilloscopes
,
logic analyzers
, and other measurement instruments had a reputation for sturdiness and usability. HP introduced the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HPIB) computer peripheral interface (later cloned by National Instruments as GPIB and standardized by the
IEEE
as
IEEE-488
) on their relay actuator products in 1973. HPIB was later integrated into most high end test & measurement equipment it produced from 1980 onward.
As early as 1977, HP began production of the HP856x
spectrum analyzers
to complement its RF power meters and sensors capable of measuring signals in excess of 20 GHz. HP also produced configurable chassis based
sweep generators
capable of generating signals to 20 GHz. Other T&M products of the time included lab grade multimeters, microwave frequency counters, RF amplifiers, high accuracy microwave detectors, lab grade power supplies and more. These products were succeeded by modernized versions as well as the introduction of the scalar and
vector network analyzer
product lines prior to the business being spun off into
Agilent Technologies
.
The
HP 9800 series
of technical desktop computers started in 1971 with the 9810A. The
HP Series 80
started in 1979 with the 85.
[
32
]
Some of these machines used a version of the
BASIC programming language
, which was available immediately after they were switched on, and used a proprietary magnetic tape for storage. HP computers were similar in capabilities to the much later
IBM Personal Computer
, though the limitations of available technology forced prices to be high.

In 1978, Hewlett stepped down as CEO and was succeeded by
John A. Young
.
HP expanded into
South Africa
in the 1980s. Activists supporting
divestment from South Africa
accused HP of "automating
apartheid
".

In 1984, HP introduced both
inkjet
and
laser printers
for the desktop. Along with its
scanner
product line, the printers have later been developed into successful
multifunction
products, the most significant being single-unit printer/scanner/copier/fax machines. The print mechanisms in HP's
LaserJet
line of laser printers depend almost entirely on
Canon Inc.
's components (print engines), which in turn use technology developed by
Xerox
. HP developed the hardware, firmware, and software to convert data into dots for printing.

On March 3, 1986, HP registered the HP.com domain name, making it the
ninth internet
.com domain to be registered.

In the 1990s, HP expanded their computer product line, which initially had been targeted at university, research, and business users, to reach consumers. In 1995, HP entered into the home and home office market for the first time with the introduction of the
HP Pavilion
brand of personal computers,
[
1
]
which initially featured desktop models but later added laptop and notebook models to the lineup in 1999.
[
37
]
HP also grew through acquisitions: it bought
Apollo Computer
in 1989 and
Convex Computer
in 1995.
In 1992, Young was succeeded by
Lewis E. Platt
, and in 1993 Packard stepped down from the board, with Platt succeeding Packard as chairman.
In 1993, HP acquired
Advanced Design System
from Pathwave. The ADS suite of RF simulation tools was spun off into Agilent in 1999 along with related T&M business units, all of which were carried forward into the spinoff of Agilent into Keysight.
Later in the decade, HP opened hpshopping.com as an independent subsidiary to sell online, direct to consumers; in 2005, the store was renamed "HP Home & Home Office Store".
From 1995 to 1999, Hewlett-Packard were sponsors of the English football team
Tottenham Hotspur
.
In 1999, all of the businesses not related to computers, storage, and imaging were spun off from HP to form
Agilent Technologies
. Agilent's spin-off was the largest
initial public offering
in the history of
Silicon Valley
,
[
38
]
and it created an
$8 billion
company with about 30,000 employees, manufacturing
scientific instruments
,
semiconductors
, optical networking devices, and
electronic test equipment
for
telecom
and wireless,
research and development
, and production.
In July 1999, HP appointed
Carly Fiorina
as the first female
CEO
of a Fortune-20 company in the
Dow Jones Industrial Average
.
[

]
Fiorina received a larger signing offer than any of her predecessors.

The same year, Fiorina articulated a set of "
rules of the garage
" in an attempt to reinterpret the spirit of the company's founders.

Sales to Iran despite sanctions
[
edit
]
In 1997, HP started selling its products in
Iran
through a European subsidiary and a
Dubai
-based Middle Eastern distributor, despite U.S. export sanctions prohibiting such deals imposed by
Bill Clinton
's
1995 executive orders
.
[
42
]
[
43
]
[
44
]
The story was initially reported by
The Boston Globe
,
[
45
]
and it triggered an inquiry by the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). HP responded that products worth
US$
120 million were sold in fiscal year 2008
[
46
]
for distribution via Redington Gulf, a company based in the Netherlands, and that as these sales took place through a foreign subsidiary, HP had not violated sanctions.
[
42
]
HP named Redington Gulf "Wholesaler of the Year" in 2003, which in turn published a press release stating that "the seeds of the Redington-Hewlett-Packard relationship were sowed six years ago for one market — Iran."
[
42
]
At the time, Redington Gulf had only three employees whose sole purpose was to sell HP products to the Iran market.
[
45
]
According to former officials who worked on sanctions, HP used a loophole by routing their sales through a foreign subsidiary.
[
42
]
HP ended its relationship with Redington Gulf after the SEC inquiry.

On September 3, 2001, HP announced that an agreement had been reached with
Compaq
to merge the two companies.
[
47
]
On May 3, 2002, after passing a shareholder vote, HP officially announced the merger with Compaq.
[
48
]
The newly-merged company would officially launch five days later on May 7, 2002.
[
49
]
Prior to this, plans had been in place to consolidate the companies' product teams and product lines.
As Compaq acquired
Tandem Computers
in 1997 and
Digital Equipment Corporation
(DEC) in 1998, HP gained control of both acquired companies' product lines, and offered support for the
Tandem NonStop family
(now owned by Hewlett Packard Enterprise) and DEC products
PDP-11
,
VAX
and
Alpha
for quite some time until the later years where support gradually dwindled. Both the DEC PDP-11 and VAX were discontinued years before the merger, and HP supported Alpha until April 2007.
The merger was preceded by a proxy fight in 2001 with numerous large HP shareholders, in particular Bill Hewlett's son Walter and other descendants of the business founders, objecting to the merger, only approving it reluctantly.
[
50
]
[

]
Prior to the merger, HP's
ticker symbol
was "HWP", which became "HPQ" shortly after acquiring Compaq, and was subsequently announced on May 6, 2002.
[
51
]
The new ticker symbol is a combination of the two previous symbols, "
H
WP" and "C
PQ
" respectively, showing the significance of the alliance. HP then became a major producer in
desktop computers
, laptops, and servers for many different markets in the coming years.
In 2002,
Mscape
was established as a
mobile media
gaming platform
that could be used to create
location-based games
.
HP would release new models of laptops under the
Pavilion
name during the early-to-mid 2000s, it being the
dv1000
series (which includes the dv1040 and the later dv1658 models) in August 2004 and the dv4000 and dv8000 series in 2005.
In January 2005, following years of underperformance, which included HP's Compaq merger that fell short
[
52
]
and disappointing earning reports,
[
53
]
the board asked Fiorina to resign as chair and chief executive officer of the company, which she did on February 9, 2005.
[
54
]
After her departure, HP's stock jumped 6.9 percent.
[

Robert Wayman, chief financial officer of HP, served as interim CEO while the board undertook a formal search for a replacement.
[

dv2000
series in May and later the
dv6000
and
dv9000
series in July.
In July 2007, HP signed a definitive agreement to acquire
Opsware
in a cash tender deal that values the company at
$14.25
per share, which combined Opsware software with the
Oracle
enterprise IT management software.
[

In the first few years of Hurd's tenure as CEO, HP's stock price more than doubled. By the end of the 2007 fiscal year, HP reached the
$100 billion
mark for the first time. The company's annual revenue reached
$104 billion
, allowing HP to overtake competitor IBM.
[

On May 13, 2008, HP and
Electronic Data Systems
(EDS) announced
[
66

that they had signed a definitive agreement under which HP would purchase EDS. On June 30, HP announced
[
67
]
that the waiting period under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act
of 1976 had expired. "The transaction still requires EDS stockholder approval and regulatory clearance from the European Commission and other non-U.S. jurisdictions and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions specified in the merger agreement." The agreement was finalized on August 26, 2008, at $13 billion, and it was publicly announced that EDS would be re-branded. The first targeted layoff of 24,600 former EDS workers was announced on September 15, 2008.
[
68
]
(The company's 2008 annual report gave the number as 24,700, to be completed by end of 2009.
[
69

) This round was factored into the purchase price as a
$19.5 billion
liability against goodwill. As of September 23, 2009, EDS was known as HP Enterprise Services (now known as
DXC Technology
).
On November 11, 2009,
3Com
and Hewlett-Packard announced that the latter would be acquiring 3Com for
$2.7 billion
in cash.

The acquisition was one of the biggest in size among a series of takeovers and acquisitions by technology giants to push their way to become one-stop shops. Since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2007, tech giants have constantly felt the pressure to expand beyond their current market niches.

On April 28, 2010,
Palm, Inc.
and HP announced that the latter would buy the former for
$1.2 billion
in cash and debt.
[

]
Adding Palm handsets to the HP product line created some overlap with the
iPAQ
series of mobile devices, but was thought to significantly improve HP's mobile presence as iPAQ devices had not been selling well. Buying Palm, Inc. gave HP a library of valuable patents and the mobile operating platform,
webOS
. On July 1, 2010, the acquisition of Palm, Inc. was finalized.
[
72
]
Purchasing its webOS was a big gamble to build HP's own ecosystem.
[
73
]
On July 1, 2011, HP launched its first tablet,
HP TouchPad
, which brought webOS to tablet devices. On September 2, 2010, HP won the
bidding war
for
3PAR
with a
$33
a share offer (
$2.07 billion
) that Dell declined to match. After HP acquired Palm Inc., it phased out the Compaq brand.
On August 6, 2010, Hurd
resigned amid controversy
and CFO
Cathie Lesjak
assumed the role of interim CEO. Hurd had turned HP around and was widely regarded as one of
Silicon Valley
's star CEOs, and under his leadership, HP became the largest computer company in the world when measured by total revenue.
[
74
]
He was accused of
sexual harassment
against a colleague, though the allegations were deemed baseless. The investigation led to questions concerning some of his expenses and the lack of disclosure related to the friendship.
[
75
]
[
76
]
Some observers have argued that Hurd was innocent, but the board asked for his resignation to avoid
negative public relations
.
[
77
]
Public analysis was divided between those who saw it as a commendable tough action by HP and those who saw it as an ill-advised, hasty, and expensive reaction, that ousted a capable leader who had turned the business around.
[

[

[

At HP, Hurd oversaw a series of acquisitions worth over $20 billion, which allowed the company to expand into services of networking equipment and smartphones.
[
79
]
HP shares dropped 8.4% in after-hours trading, hitting a 52-week low with a $9 billion reduction in market capitalization.
[
80
]
Larry Ellison
publicly attacked HP's board for Hurd's ousting, stating that the HP board had "made the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs many years ago".
[
81
]
On September 30, 2010,
Léo Apotheker
was named HP's new CEO and president.
[
82
]
His appointment sparked a strong reaction from Ellison,
[
83
]
who complained that Apotheker had been in charge of
SAP
when one of its subsidiaries was systematically stealing software from Oracle. SAP accepted that its subsidiary, which has now closed, illegally accessed Oracle intellectual property.
[
84
]
Following Hurd's departure, HP was seen to be problematic by the market, with margins falling and them failing to establish themselves in major new markets such as cloud and mobile services.
[

]
Apotheker's strategy was to broadly aim at disposing hardware, whilst moving into the more profitable
software
services
sector
. On August 18, 2011, HP announced that it would strategically exit the
smartphone
and
tablet computer
business, and focus on higher-margin "strategic priorities of Cloud, solutions and software with an emphasis on enterprise, commercial and government markets".
[
85
]
It also contemplated selling off its personal computer division or spinning it off into a separate company,
[
86
]
and quitting PC development while continuing to sell servers and other equipment to business customers, which was a strategy undertaken by IBM in 2005.

On November 1, 2010, the classic 1979 Hewlett-Packard logo was discontinued and replaced with a new circle HP logo, with a larger and thinner wormark, for corporate branding. The 2008 circle variant was continued to be used as the secondary logo. This also made the 1999 symbol-only variant was also discontinued on the same day. The last product to use this logo was the HP ProLiant DL380 G7.

HP's stock dropped by about a further 40% after the company abruptly announced a number of decisions: to discontinue its webOS device business (mobile phones and tablet computers), the intent to sell its
personal computer
division (at the time HP was the largest personal computer manufacturer in the world), and to acquire British
big data
software firm
Autonomy
for a 79%
premium
, seen externally as an "absurdly high" price
[
89
]
for a business with known concerns over its accounts.
[
90

Media analysts described HP's actions as a "botched strategy shift" and a "chaotic" attempt to rapidly
reposition
HP and enhance earnings.

HP lost more than
$30 billion
in market capitalization during Apotheker's tenure, and on September 22, 2011, the HP Board of Directors fired him as chief executive and replaced him with fellow board member and former
eBay
chief
Meg Whitman
,
[

with
Raymond J. Lane
as executive chairman. Although Apotheker served barely ten months, he received over
$13 million
in compensation.

Weeks later, HP announced that a review had concluded their PC division was too integrated and critical to business operations, and the company reaffirmed their commitment to the Personal Systems Group.
[

On March 21, 2012, HP said its printing and PC divisions would become one unit headed by Todd Bradley from the PC division, and printing chief Vyomesh Joshi left the company.
[

On May 23, 2012, HP announced plans to lay off approximately 27,000 employees, after posting a profit decline of 31% in the second quarter of 2012.
[

On May 30, 2012, HP unveiled its first
net zero
energy data center, which used solar energy and other renewable sources instead of traditional power grids.

On September 10, 2012, HP revised their restructuring figures and started cutting 29,000 jobs.
[
105

In November 2012, HP
wrote off
almost
$9 billion
related to the Autonomy acquisition, which became the subject of intense litigation, as HP accused Autonomy's previous management of fraudulently exaggerating Autonomy's financial position and called in law enforcement and regulators in both countries. Autonomy's previous management accused HP of "textbook"
obfuscation
and
finger pointing
to protect HP's executives from criticism and conceal HP culpability, their prior knowledge of Autonomy's financial position, and gross mismanagement of Autonomy after acquisition.

On December 31, 2013, HP revised the number of jobs cut from 29,000 to 34,000 up to October 2014. The number of jobs cut until the end of 2013 was 24,600.

At the end of 2013 the company had 317,500 employees. On May 22, 2014, HP announced it would cut a further 11,000 to 16,000 jobs, in addition to the 34,000 announced in 2013. Whitman said: "We are gradually shaping HP into a more nimble, lower-cost, more customer and partner-centric company that can successfully compete across a rapidly changing IT landscape."

During the June 2014 HP Discover customer event in
Las Vegas
, Whitman and Martin Fink announced a project for a radically new computer architecture called
The Machine

On October 6, 2014, HP announced it was going to split into two separate companies to separate its personal computer and printer businesses from its technology services. The split, which was first reported by
The Wall Street Journal
and confirmed by other media, resulted in two publicly traded companies on November 1, 2015:
Hewlett Packard Enterprise
and
HP Inc.
The split was structured so that Hewlett-Packard changed its name to HP Inc. and spun off Hewlett Packard Enterprise as a new publicly traded company.

Employee death in fall from airplane
[
edit
]
On December 14, 2000, Elisabeth M. Otto, an employee at HP, fell to her death from a commuter flight shortly after takeoff under suspicious circumstances.
[
161
]
The flight was a routine commute for HP employees, shuttling them from Roseville to Palo Alto, CA. No one reported the incident until after the plane had landed.
[
162
]
Authorities concluded that Otto had most likely opened the door herself and jumped to her death from an altitude of about 2,000 feet. Her body was later found in a garden. It is believed that the reason why the incident was not immediately reported was due to confusion resulting from the shock of passengers and the loud noise from the open door. Apparently one of the other employees had struggled with Otto while trying to prevent her from jumping from the
de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter
but was unable to stop her.
[
162
]
When the co-pilot came to close the open door, passengers apparently attempted to explain what had happened but this was not understood due to noise. An airplane mechanic reported the incident about 40 minutes after the flight had landed.

In March 2003, HP restated its first-quarter cash flow from operations, reducing it by 18 percent because of an accounting error. The actual cash flow from operations was $647 million, and not $791 million as reported; HP shifted $144 million to net cash used in investing activities.

On September 5, 2006, Shawn Cabalfin and David O'Neil of

wrote that HP's
general counsel
, at the behest of chairwoman
Patricia Dunn
, contracted a team of independent security experts to investigate board members and several journalists to identify the source of an information leak.
[
164
]
In turn, those security experts recruited private investigators who used
pretexting
,
[
165
]
which involved investigators
impersonating
HP board members and nine journalists (including reporters for
CNET
,
The New York Times
and
The Wall Street Journal
) in order to obtain their phone records. The information leaked related to HP's long-term strategy and was published as part of a

in January 2006. Most HP employees accused of criminal acts have since been acquitted.

In November 2007, HP released a BIOS update covering a wide range of laptops with the intent to speed up the computer fan and have it run constantly while the computer was on or off
[
168
]
to prevent the overheating of defective
Nvidia
graphics processing units (GPUs) that had been shipped to many of the original equipment manufacturers, including HP, Dell, and Apple.
[
169
]
The defect concerned the new material used by Nvidia from 2007 onwards in joining the graphics chip onto the motherboard, which did not perform well under thermal cycling and was prone to develop stress cracks – effectively severing the connection between the GPU and the motherboard that led to a blank screen.
[
170
]
In July 2008, HP issued an extension to the initial one-year warranty to replace the motherboards of selected models.
[
171
]
However, this option was not extended to all models with the defective Nvidia chipsets, despite research showing that these computers were also affected by the fault.
[
172
]
The replacement of the motherboard was a temporary fix, since the fault was inherent in all units of the affected models from the point of manufacture, including the replacement motherboards offered by HP.
[
173
]
[
174
]
Since then, several websites have been documenting the issue.
[
175
]
There have been several small-claims lawsuits filed in several states, as well as suits filed in other countries. HP also faced a class-action lawsuit in 2009 over its i7 processor computers: the complainants stated that their systems consistently froze within 30 minutes of powering on. Even after being replaced with newer i7 systems, the problem continued.

Lawsuit against Oracle
[

HP filed a lawsuit in California Superior Court in Santa Clara, claiming that Oracle had breached an agreement to support the
Itanium
microprocessor used in HP's high-end enterprise servers.
[
177

On June 15, 2011, HP sent a "formal legal demand" letter to Oracle in an attempt to force them to reverse its decision to discontinue software development on Intel Itanium microprocessors
[

and build its own servers.
[
179

HP won the lawsuit in 2012, which required Oracle to continue producing software compatible with the Itanium processor.
[

HP was awarded $3 billion in damages against Oracle on June 30, 2016,
[
179

[

arguing that Oracle canceling support damaged HP's Itanium server brand. Oracle said it would appeal both the decision and damages.

Several class action firms filed a class action lawsuit on January 12, 2012, against HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise ("HP"), entitled "Jeffrey Wall, etc. v. HP, Inc." (formerly known as Hewlett-Packard Company, et al.), Case No. 30-2012-00537897, pending in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange. According to the lawsuit, HP allegedly failed to pay commission payments and incentive compensation that its California sales employees were owed within the timeframes proscribed by California law (Labor Code §§ 201, 202 and 204).
[

In 2017, FDAzar obtained a settlement of $25 million for class participants and changed the way HP pays incentive compensation and commission payments.

Takeover of Autonomy
[
edit
]
In November 2012, HP recorded a write-down of around $8.8 billion related to its acquisition a year earlier of the UK-based
Autonomy Corporation
PLC
. At that time, HP had fired its previous CEO for expenses irregularities a year before, and appointed Apotheker. HP was seen as problematic by the market. Autonomy was acquired by HP in October 2011. HP paid
$10.3 billion
for 87.3% of the shares, valuing Autonomy at around
$11.7 billion
(
£7.4 billion
) overall, a
premium
of 79% over market price. The deal was widely criticized as "absurdly high", a "botched strategy shift" and a "chaotic" attempt to
reposition
HP and enhance earnings,
[
89
]
[
91
]
[
92
]
and was objected to by HP's own CFO.
[
93
]
[
94
]
: 3–6
Within a year, Apotheker was fired, major
culture clashes
became apparent, and HP wrote off $8.8 billion of Autonomy's value.
[
93
]
The
Serious Fraud Office
(SFO) and the SEC joined the
FBI
in investigating the potential anomalies. HP incurred damage with its stock falling to its lowest in decades.
[
184
]
[
185
]
[
186
]
Three lawsuits were brought by shareholders against HP for the fall in value of HP shares. In August 2014, a
United States district court
judge threw out a proposed settlement, which Autonomy's previous management had argued would be
collusive
and intended to divert scrutiny of HP's own responsibility and knowledge. It essentially engaged the plaintiff's attorneys from the existing cases and redirected them against the previous Autonomy vendors and management for a fee of up to
$48 million
, with plaintiffs agreeing to end any claims against HP's management and similarly redirect those claims against the previous Autonomy vendors and management.
[
187
]
[
188
]
In January 2015 the SFO closed its investigation as the likelihood of a successful prosecution was low.
[
189
]
The dispute continued in the US, and is being investigated by the UK and Ireland
Financial Reporting Council
. On June 9, 2015, HP agreed to pay
$100 million
to investors who bought HP shares between August 19, 2011 and November 20, 2012, to settle the lawsuits over the Autonomy purchase.
[
190
]
Another term of the shareholder settlement was to sue Autonomy management, which occurred in London in 2019. HP "failed to produce a smoking gun for the fraud it alleges",
[
191
]
and its accountants admitted that they "never formally prepared anything to attribute the irregularities to the amount of the fraud".
[
191
]
In June 2024, a jury acquitted Autonomy founder Mike Lynch and co-defendant Steve Chamberlain. Steve Chamberlain was hit by a car while jogging on August 17, 2024.
[
192
]
Mike Lynch, along with his 18 year old daughter, drowned after their yacht sank on August 20, 2024 (the accident killed a total of seven people).
[
193
]
In July 2025, a judge at London's High Court ruled that HP is owed more than 700 million pounds ($944 million), in respect of the acquisition of Autonomy.
[
194

Israeli settlements
[
edit
]
Hewlett-Packard supplies a range of technology solutions and hardware infrastructure to various Israeli institutions, including the
military
, government agencies, and law enforcement bodies.
[
195
]
Among its notable clients is the Israeli Immigration and Population Authority, to which the company provides dedicated technological support and equipment.
[
195
]
On October 25, 2012,
Richard Falk
, the
United Nations Human Rights Council
's Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the
Palestinian territories
occupied since 1967, called to boycott HP and other businesses that profit from
Israeli settlements
on occupied Palestinian lands until they brought their operations in line with international human rights and humanitarian law.
[
196
]
[
197
]
In 2014, the
Presbyterian Church (USA)
voted to move forward with divestment from HP to pressure Israel in regard to their policies toward Palestinians.
[
198
]
In 2015, the Human Rights Commission of
Portland, Oregon
, requested to place
Caterpillar
,
G4S
, HP, and
Motorola Solutions
on the city's "Do Not Buy" list.
[
199
]
On April 9, 2014, an administrative proceeding before the SEC was settled by HP consenting to an order acknowledging that HP had violated the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
(FCPA) when HP subsidiaries in Russia, Poland, and Mexico made improper payments to government officials to obtain or retain lucrative public contracts.
[
200
]
The SEC's order found that HP's subsidiary in Russia paid more than
$2 million
through agents and various shell companies to a Russian government official to retain a multimillion-dollar contract with the federal prosecutor's office; in Poland, HP's subsidiary provided gifts and cash bribes worth more than
$600,000
to a Polish government official to obtain contracts with the national police agency; and to win a software sale to Mexico's state-owned petroleum company, HP's subsidiary in Mexico paid more than
$1 million
in inflated commissions to a consultant with close ties to company officials, one of whom was funneled money. HP agreed to pay
$108 million
to settle the SEC charges and a parallel criminal case.

Apotheker believed that HP's platform was sinking ... [and] appeared to be in a hurry to transform the company ... In a rapid series of moves announced in August 2011, Apotheker killed HP's six-week-old TouchPad tablet, explored plans for a spin-out of its PC business, and championed the
$10.3 billion
acquisition of Autonomy. One former HP executive who worked there at the time says it appeared that Apotheker and the board didn't know what to do, and were trying anything they could think of. It wasn't a strategy, he says. It was chaos ... Oracle CEO Larry Ellison called Autonomy's asking price 'absurdly high'.

Hewlett-Packard completed its $12 billion buy of British software firm Autonomy on Monday, the centerpiece of a botched strategy shift that cost ex-chief executive Leo Apotheker his job last month. HP said its 25.50 pounds-per-share cash offer – representing a 79 percent premium that many HP shareholders found excessive – had been accepted by investors.

The **Hewlett-Packard Company**, commonly shortened to **Hewlett-Packard** ([/ˈhjuːlɪt ˈpækərd/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English "Help:IPA/English") [*HEW\-lit PAK\-ərd*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Pronunciation_respelling_key "Help:Pronunciation respelling key")) or **HP**, was an American multinational [information technology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_technology "Information technology") company. It was founded by [Bill Hewlett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Hewlett "Bill Hewlett") and [David Packard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Packard "David Packard") in 1939 in a one-car garage in [Palo Alto, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Alto,_California "Palo Alto, California"). Growing to become an influential high-tech powerhouse at the heart of [Silicon Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley "Silicon Valley"), the company was known for its progressive business philosophy, deemed [the HP Way](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_HP_Way "The HP Way"). HP developed and provided a wide variety of hardware components, as well as software and related services, to consumers, small and medium-sized businesses ([SMBs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_and_medium-sized_enterprises "Small and medium-sized enterprises")), and fairly large companies, including customers in government sectors. At its peak in 2011, HP employed 350,000 people around the globe.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-2) The company officially split into [Hewlett Packard Enterprise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett_Packard_Enterprise "Hewlett Packard Enterprise") and [HP Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Inc. "HP Inc.") in 2015.
HP initially produced a line of electronic test and measurement equipment. It won its first big contract in 1938 to provide the [HP 200B](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_200B "HP 200B"), a variation of its first product, the [HP 200A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_200A "HP 200A") low-distortion frequency oscillator,[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-3) for [Walt Disney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney "Walt Disney")'s production of the 1940 animated film *[Fantasia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasia_\(1940_film\) "Fantasia (1940 film)")*, which allowed Hewlett and Packard to formally establish the Hewlett-Packard Company on July 2, 1939.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-4) The company grew into a [multinational corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinational_corporation "Multinational corporation") widely respected for its products. HP was the world's [leading PC manufacturer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_share_of_personal_computer_vendors "Market share of personal computer vendors") from 2007 until the second quarter of 2013 when [Lenovo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenovo "Lenovo") moved ahead of HP.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-5)[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:3-6)[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-2014_PC-7) HP specialized in developing and manufacturing computing, data storage, and networking hardware, designing software, and delivering services. Major product lines included personal computing devices, enterprise and industry standard servers, related storage devices, networking products, software, and a range of printers and other imaging products. The company directly marketed its products to households, small- to medium-sized businesses, and enterprises, as well as via online distribution, consumer-electronics, and office-supply retailers, software partners, and major technology vendors. It also offered services and a consulting business for its products and partner products.
In 1999, HP [spun off](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_spin-off "Corporate spin-off") its electronic and bio-analytical test and measurement instruments business into [Agilent Technologies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agilent_Technologies "Agilent Technologies"); HP retained focus on its later products, including computers and printers. It [merged](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mergers_and_acquisitions "Mergers and acquisitions") with [Compaq](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq "Compaq") in 2002 in what was then a major deal within the industry.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-8) They made [numerous other acquisitions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Hewlett-Packard "List of acquisitions by Hewlett-Packard") including [Electronic Data Systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Data_Systems "Electronic Data Systems") in 2008, which led to combined revenues of \$118.4 billion that year and a [Fortune 500](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_500 "Fortune 500") ranking of 9 in 2009, and later [3Com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3Com "3Com"),[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-acquisitions-cement-companys-no-1-status-9)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-10) [Palm, Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm,_Inc. "Palm, Inc."),[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-11) and [3PAR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3PAR "3PAR"), all in 2010,[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-12) followed by [Autonomy Corp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomy_Corp "Autonomy Corp").[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-13) However, as a result of the turmoil created by several of these acquisitions, the company's fortunes swiftly declined in the 2010s.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-14)[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-15) This led to Hewlett-Packard Company's split into two separate companies on November 1, 2015: its enterprise products and services business were spun-off to form [Hewlett Packard Enterprise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett_Packard_Enterprise "Hewlett Packard Enterprise"), while its personal computer and printer businesses became HP Inc. The split was structured so that the former Hewlett-Packard Company would change its name to HP Inc. and spin off Hewlett Packard Enterprise as a newly created company. HP Inc. retained the old Hewlett-Packard's stock-price history and original NYSE ticker symbol; Hewlett Packard Enterprise trades under its own ticker symbol: HPE.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-16)[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-17)

[Bill Hewlett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Hewlett "Bill Hewlett") and [David Packard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Packard "David Packard") graduated with degrees in [electrical engineering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_engineering "Electrical engineering") from [Stanford University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_University "Stanford University") in 1935. The company started in a [garage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Garage "HP Garage") in [Palo Alto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Alto,_California "Palo Alto, California") during a fellowship they had with past professor [Frederick Terman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Terman "Frederick Terman") at Stanford during the [Great Depression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression "Great Depression"), whom they considered a mentor.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-isbn1-59184-152-6-18) In 1938, Packard and Hewlett began part-time work in a rented garage with an initial capital investment of US\$538 (equivalent to \$12,305 in 2025). In 1939, Hewlett and Packard decided to formalize their partnership. They tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard (HP) or Packard-Hewlett.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-19)
Hewlett and Packard's first financially successful product was a precision audio [oscillator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_oscillator "Electronic oscillator") known as the [HP 200A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_200A "HP 200A"), which used a small incandescent [light bulb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_bulb "Light bulb") as a temperature dependent [resistor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor "Resistor") in a critical portion of the circuit, and a [negative feedback](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_feedback "Negative feedback") loop to stabilize the amplitude of the output sinusoidal waveform. This allowed the HP 200A to be sold for \$89.40 when competitors were selling less stable oscillators for over \$200. The 200 series of generators continued production until at least 1972 as the 200AB, still tube-based but improved in design through the years.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-20)
One of the company's earliest customers was Bud Hawkins, chief [sound engineer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_engineer "Sound engineer") for [Walt Disney Studios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney_Studios_\(division\) "Walt Disney Studios (division)"), who bought eight HP 200B audio oscillators (at \$71.50 each) to be used in the animated film *[Fantasia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasia_\(1940_film\) "Fantasia (1940 film)")*. HP's profit at the end of 1939, its first full year of business, was \$1,563 (equivalent to \$36,177 in 2025) on revenues of \$5,369.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-HP-21)
In 1942, they built their first building at 395 Page Mill Road and were awarded the [Army-Navy "E" Award](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army-Navy_%22E%22_Award "Army-Navy \"E\" Award") in 1943. HP employed 200 people and produced the audio oscillator, a wave analyzer, distortion analyzers, an audio-signal generator, and the Model 400A [vacuum-tube voltmeter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltmeter#VTVMs_and_FET-VMs "Voltmeter") during the war.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-HP-21): 54–60, 195
Hewlett and Packard worked on counter-radar technology and artillery shell [proximity fuzes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_fuze "Proximity fuze") during World War II; the work exempted Packard from the draft,[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-22) but Hewlett had to serve as an officer in the [Army Signal Corps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_Signal_Corps "Army Signal Corps") after being called to active duty.
HP was incorporated on August 18, 1947, with Packard as president. Sales reached \$5.5 million in 1951 with 215 employees. The company went public on November 6, 1957.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-HP-21): 35, 40, 64, 70, 196 In 1959, a manufacturing plant was established in [Böblingen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%B6blingen "Böblingen") and a marketing organization in [Geneva](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva "Geneva").[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-HP-21): 196 Packard handed the presidency over to Hewlett when he became chairman in 1964, but remained CEO of the company.

The [HP200A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP200A "HP200A"), a precision audio [oscillator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_oscillator "Electronic oscillator"), was the company's first financially successful product.
HP is recognized as the symbolic founder of [Silicon Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley "Silicon Valley"), though it did not actively investigate [semiconductor devices](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_devices "Semiconductor devices") until a few years after the "[traitorous eight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traitorous_eight "Traitorous eight")" abandoned [William Shockley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shockley "William Shockley") to create [Fairchild Semiconductor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Semiconductor "Fairchild Semiconductor") in 1957. The company's HP Associates division was established around 1960 under the leadership of [Jack Melchor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Melchor "Jack Melchor") to develop semiconductor devices primarily for internal use.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-24) Instruments and [calculators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculators "Calculators") were some of the original HP products that used semiconductor devices.
During the 1960s, HP partnered with [Sony](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony "Sony") and [Yokogawa Electric](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yokogawa_Electric "Yokogawa Electric") in Japan to develop several high-quality products. The products were not a huge success, as there were high costs involved in building HP-looking products in Japan. In 1963, HP and Yokogawa formed the joint venture Yokogawa-Hewlett-Packard to market HP products in Japan.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-25) HP bought Yokogawa Electric's share of Hewlett-Packard Japan in 1999.[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-26)
HP spun off the small company Dynac to specialize in digital equipment. The name was picked so that the HP logo could be turned upside down to be a reflected image of the logo of the new company. Dynac was eventually renamed Dymec and folded back into HP in 1959.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-27) HP experimented with using [Digital Equipment Corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Equipment_Corporation "Digital Equipment Corporation") (DEC) minicomputers with its instruments, but entered the computer market in 1966 with the [HP 2100](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_2100 "HP 2100") / [HP 1000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_1000 "HP 1000") series of minicomputers after it decided that it would be easier to build another small design team than deal with DEC. The minicomputers had a simple [accumulator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accumulator_\(computing\) "Accumulator (computing)")\-based design with two accumulator registers and, in the HP 1000 models, two [index registers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_register "Index register"). The series was produced for 20 years in spite of several attempts to replace it, and was a forerunner of the [HP 9800](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_9830 "HP 9830") and [HP 250](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_250 "HP 250") series of desktop and business computers.
Beginning in 1961, Hewlett-Packard was listed on the [New York Stock Exchange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Stock_Exchange "New York Stock Exchange") (as well as the now-closed [Pacific Exchange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Exchange "Pacific Exchange")) under its own [ticker symbol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticker_symbol "Ticker symbol"), "HWP".[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hphistory97-1) At the end of 1968, Packard handed over the duties of CEO to Hewlett to become [United States Deputy Secretary of Defense](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Deputy_Secretary_of_Defense "United States Deputy Secretary of Defense") in the incoming Nixon administration. He resumed the chairmanship in 1972 and served until 1993, but Hewlett remained the CEO.
### 1970s
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=3 "Edit section: 1970s")\]
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HP0100A_1.jpg)
Introduced in 1968, "The new [Hewlett-Packard 9100A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard_9100A "Hewlett-Packard 9100A") personal computer is ready, willing, and able ... to relieve you of waiting to get on the big computer."
The [HP 3000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_3000 "HP 3000") was an advanced stack-based design for a business computing server, later redesigned with [RISC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC "RISC") technology. The [HP 2640](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_2640 "HP 2640") series of [smart](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_terminal#Block-oriented_terminal "Computer terminal") and [intelligent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_terminal#"Intelligent"_terminals "Computer terminal") terminals introduced forms-based interfaces to [ASCII](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII "ASCII") terminals, and also introduced [screen labeled function keys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_labeled_function_keys "Screen labeled function keys"). The HP 2640 series included one of the first bit mapped graphics displays that, when combined with the [HP 2100](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_2100 "HP 2100") 21MX F-Series microcoded Scientific Instruction Set,[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-28) enabled the first commercial [WYSIWYG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG "WYSIWYG") [presentation program](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presentation_program "Presentation program"), [BRUNO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRUNO "BRUNO"), that later became the program HP-Draw on the HP 3000. Although scoffed at in the formative days of computing, HP surpassed IBM as the world's largest technology vendor in terms of sales.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-29)
HP was identified by *[Wired](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Magazine "Wired Magazine")* magazine as the producer of the world's first device to be called a personal computer: the [Hewlett-Packard 9100A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard_9100A "Hewlett-Packard 9100A"), introduced in 1968.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-30) HP called it a desktop calculator because, as Hewlett said: "If we had called it a computer, it would have been rejected by our customers' computer gurus because it didn't look like an [IBM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_mainframe "IBM mainframe"). We therefore decided to call it a calculator, and all such nonsense disappeared." An engineering triumph at the time, the logic circuit was produced without any [integrated circuits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuits "Integrated circuits"), and the CPU assembly was entirely executed in discrete components. With [CRT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray_tube "Cathode ray tube") display, magnetic-card storage, and printer, the price was around \$5,000. The machine's keyboard was a cross between the keyboard of a scientific calculator and the keyboard of an adding machine. There was no alphabetic keyboard.
[Apple](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc. "Apple Inc.") co-founder [Steve Wozniak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Wozniak "Steve Wozniak") originally designed the [Apple I](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_I "Apple I") computer while working at HP and offered it to them under their [right of first refusal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_first_refusal "Right of first refusal") to his work. They did not take it up as the company wanted to stay in scientific, business, and industrial markets. Wozniak said that HP "turned him down five times", but that his loyalty to HP made him hesitant to start Apple with [Steve Jobs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs "Steve Jobs").[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-AI-31)
The company earned global respect for a variety of products. They introduced the world's first handheld scientific electronic [calculator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator "Calculator") in 1972 (the [HP-35](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-35 "HP-35")), the first handheld programmable in 1974 (the [HP-65](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-65 "HP-65")), the first alphanumeric, programmable, expandable in 1979 (the [HP-41](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-41 "HP-41")C), and the first symbolic and graphing calculator, the [HP-28C](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-28C "HP-28C").
Like their scientific and business calculators, HP [oscilloscopes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscilloscope "Oscilloscope"), [logic analyzers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_analyzer "Logic analyzer"), and other measurement instruments had a reputation for sturdiness and usability. HP introduced the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HPIB) computer peripheral interface (later cloned by National Instruments as GPIB and standardized by the [IEEE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE "IEEE") as [IEEE-488](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE-488 "IEEE-488")) on their relay actuator products in 1973. HPIB was later integrated into most high end test & measurement equipment it produced from 1980 onward.
As early as 1977, HP began production of the HP856x [spectrum analyzers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_analyzer "Spectrum analyzer") to complement its RF power meters and sensors capable of measuring signals in excess of 20 GHz. HP also produced configurable chassis based [sweep generators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweep_generator "Sweep generator") capable of generating signals to 20 GHz. Other T\&M products of the time included lab grade multimeters, microwave frequency counters, RF amplifiers, high accuracy microwave detectors, lab grade power supplies and more. These products were succeeded by modernized versions as well as the introduction of the scalar and [vector network analyzer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_network_analyzer "Vector network analyzer") product lines prior to the business being spun off into [Agilent Technologies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agilent_Technologies "Agilent Technologies").
The [HP 9800 series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_9800_series "HP 9800 series") of technical desktop computers started in 1971 with the 9810A. The [HP Series 80](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Series_80 "HP Series 80") started in 1979 with the 85.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-32) Some of these machines used a version of the [BASIC programming language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC_programming_language "BASIC programming language"), which was available immediately after they were switched on, and used a proprietary magnetic tape for storage. HP computers were similar in capabilities to the much later [IBM Personal Computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer "IBM Personal Computer"), though the limitations of available technology forced prices to be high.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\]
In 1978, Hewlett stepped down as CEO and was succeeded by [John A. Young](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_A._Young "John A. Young").
### 1980s
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=4 "Edit section: 1980s")\]
HP expanded into [South Africa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa "South Africa") in the 1980s. Activists supporting [divestment from South Africa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinvestment_from_South_Africa "Disinvestment from South Africa") accused HP of "automating [apartheid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid "Apartheid")".[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-33)
Sales reached \$6.5 billion in 1985 with 85,000 employees.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-HP-21): 198
In 1984, HP introduced both [inkjet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkjet_printer "Inkjet printer") and [laser printers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_printer "Laser printer") for the desktop. Along with its [scanner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scanner "Image scanner") product line, the printers have later been developed into successful [multifunction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-function_printer "Multi-function printer") products, the most significant being single-unit printer/scanner/copier/fax machines. The print mechanisms in HP's [LaserJet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_LaserJet "HP LaserJet") line of laser printers depend almost entirely on [Canon Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_Inc. "Canon Inc.")'s components (print engines), which in turn use technology developed by [Xerox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerox "Xerox"). HP developed the hardware, firmware, and software to convert data into dots for printing.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-34)
On March 3, 1986, HP registered the HP.com domain name, making it the [ninth internet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_oldest_currently-registered_Internet_domain_names "List of the oldest currently-registered Internet domain names") .com domain to be registered.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-35)
In 1987, the Palo Alto garage where Hewlett and Packard started their business was designated as a [California Historical Landmark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Historical_Landmarks_in_Santa_Clara_County,_California "California Historical Landmarks in Santa Clara County, California").

In the 1990s, HP expanded their computer product line, which initially had been targeted at university, research, and business users, to reach consumers. In 1995, HP entered into the home and home office market for the first time with the introduction of the [HP Pavilion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Pavilion "HP Pavilion") brand of personal computers,[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hphistory97-1) which initially featured desktop models but later added laptop and notebook models to the lineup in 1999.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-pavilionnotebook99-37) HP also grew through acquisitions: it bought [Apollo Computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Computer "Apollo Computer") in 1989 and [Convex Computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_Computer "Convex Computer") in 1995.
In 1992, Young was succeeded by [Lewis E. Platt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_E._Platt "Lewis E. Platt"), and in 1993 Packard stepped down from the board, with Platt succeeding Packard as chairman.
In 1993, HP acquired [Advanced Design System](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Design_System "Advanced Design System") from Pathwave. The ADS suite of RF simulation tools was spun off into Agilent in 1999 along with related T\&M business units, all of which were carried forward into the spinoff of Agilent into Keysight.
Later in the decade, HP opened hpshopping.com as an independent subsidiary to sell online, direct to consumers; in 2005, the store was renamed "HP Home & Home Office Store".
From 1995 to 1999, Hewlett-Packard were sponsors of the English football team [Tottenham Hotspur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C. "Tottenham Hotspur F.C.").
In 1999, all of the businesses not related to computers, storage, and imaging were spun off from HP to form [Agilent Technologies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agilent_Technologies "Agilent Technologies"). Agilent's spin-off was the largest [initial public offering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_public_offering "Initial public offering") in the history of [Silicon Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley "Silicon Valley"),[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-38) and it created an \$8 billion company with about 30,000 employees, manufacturing [scientific instruments](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_instrument "Measuring instrument"), [semiconductors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor "Semiconductor"), optical networking devices, and [electronic test equipment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_test_equipment "Electronic test equipment") for [telecom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications "Telecommunications") and wireless, [research and development](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_and_development "Research and development"), and production.
In July 1999, HP appointed [Carly Fiorina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina "Carly Fiorina") as the first female [CEO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEO "CEO") of a Fortune-20 company in the [Dow Jones Industrial Average](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dow_Jones_Industrial_Average "Dow Jones Industrial Average").[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-39) Fiorina received a larger signing offer than any of her predecessors.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-40) The same year, Fiorina articulated a set of "[rules of the garage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_of_the_garage "Rules of the garage")" in an attempt to reinterpret the spirit of the company's founders.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-41)

\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=6 "Edit section: Sales to Iran despite sanctions")\]
In 1997, HP started selling its products in [Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran "Iran") through a European subsidiary and a [Dubai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai "Dubai")\-based Middle Eastern distributor, despite U.S. export sanctions prohibiting such deals imposed by [Bill Clinton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton "Bill Clinton")'s [1995 executive orders](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._sanctions_against_Iran#Rafsanjani_and_Khatami_governments "U.S. sanctions against Iran").[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-Bloomberg.Iran-42)[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-43)[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-44) The story was initially reported by *[The Boston Globe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boston_Globe "The Boston Globe")*,[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-BostonGlobe.sanctions-45) and it triggered an inquiry by the [U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Securities_and_Exchange_Commission "U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission") (SEC). HP responded that products worth US\$120 million were sold in fiscal year 2008[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-46) for distribution via Redington Gulf, a company based in the Netherlands, and that as these sales took place through a foreign subsidiary, HP had not violated sanctions.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-Bloomberg.Iran-42)
HP named Redington Gulf "Wholesaler of the Year" in 2003, which in turn published a press release stating that "the seeds of the Redington-Hewlett-Packard relationship were sowed six years ago for one market — Iran."[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-Bloomberg.Iran-42) At the time, Redington Gulf had only three employees whose sole purpose was to sell HP products to the Iran market.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-BostonGlobe.sanctions-45) According to former officials who worked on sanctions, HP used a loophole by routing their sales through a foreign subsidiary.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-Bloomberg.Iran-42) HP ended its relationship with Redington Gulf after the SEC inquiry.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-Bloomberg.Iran-42)
### 2000–2005
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=7 "Edit section: 2000–2005")\]

A Hewlett-Packard [Deskjet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Deskjet "HP Deskjet") 3845 [printer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_\(computing\) "Printer (computing)")
On September 3, 2001, HP announced that an agreement had been reached with [Compaq](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq "Compaq") to merge the two companies.[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-47) On May 3, 2002, after passing a shareholder vote, HP officially announced the merger with Compaq.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-48) The newly-merged company would officially launch five days later on May 7, 2002.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-49) Prior to this, plans had been in place to consolidate the companies' product teams and product lines.
As Compaq acquired [Tandem Computers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem_Computers "Tandem Computers") in 1997 and [Digital Equipment Corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Equipment_Corporation "Digital Equipment Corporation") (DEC) in 1998, HP gained control of both acquired companies' product lines, and offered support for the [Tandem NonStop family](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NonStop_\(server_computers\) "NonStop (server computers)") (now owned by Hewlett Packard Enterprise) and DEC products [PDP-11](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-11 "PDP-11"), [VAX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAX "VAX") and [Alpha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC_Alpha "DEC Alpha") for quite some time until the later years where support gradually dwindled. Both the DEC PDP-11 and VAX were discontinued years before the merger, and HP supported Alpha until April 2007.
The merger was preceded by a proxy fight in 2001 with numerous large HP shareholders, in particular Bill Hewlett's son Walter and other descendants of the business founders, objecting to the merger, only approving it reluctantly.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-50)[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:3-6) Prior to the merger, HP's [ticker symbol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticker_symbol "Ticker symbol") was "HWP", which became "HPQ" shortly after acquiring Compaq, and was subsequently announced on May 6, 2002.[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-51) The new ticker symbol is a combination of the two previous symbols, "**H**WP" and "C**PQ**" respectively, showing the significance of the alliance. HP then became a major producer in [desktop computers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_computer "Desktop computer"), laptops, and servers for many different markets in the coming years.
In 2002, [Mscape](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mscape "Mscape") was established as a [mobile media](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_media "Mobile media") [gaming platform](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_engine "Game engine") that could be used to create [location-based games](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Location-based_game "Location-based game").
HP would release new models of laptops under the [Pavilion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Pavilion "HP Pavilion") name during the early-to-mid 2000s, it being the [dv1000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Pavilion_dv1000_series "HP Pavilion dv1000 series") series (which includes the dv1040 and the later dv1658 models) in August 2004 and the dv4000 and dv8000 series in 2005.
In January 2005, following years of underperformance, which included HP's Compaq merger that fell short[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:0-52) and disappointing earning reports,[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-53) the board asked Fiorina to resign as chair and chief executive officer of the company, which she did on February 9, 2005.[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-54) After her departure, HP's stock jumped 6.9 percent.[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-55) Robert Wayman, chief financial officer of HP, served as interim CEO while the board undertook a formal search for a replacement.[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-56)
[Mark Hurd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Hurd "Mark Hurd") of [NCR Corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCR_Corporation "NCR Corporation") was hired to take over as CEO and president, effective April 1, 2005. Hurd was the board's top choice given the revival of NCR that took place under his leadership.[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:0-52)

In 2006, HP unveiled several new products including desktops, enhanced notebooks, a workstation, and software to manage them—OpenView Client Configuration Manager 2.0.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-57) That same year, HP's share price skyrocketed due to consistent results in the last couple quarters of the year with Hurd's plan to cut back HP's workforce and lower costs.[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-58) HP was delisted from the Pacific Exchange (now closed with trades going through the [NYSE Arca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NYSE_Arca "NYSE Arca") platform) on May 1, 2006, but continues to trade on the New York Stock Exchange as well as [Nasdaq](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasdaq "Nasdaq").[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-59)
HP introduced a global marketing campaign for its line of personal computers in May 2006 under the tagline "The Computer is Personal Again", coinciding with the launch of its new line of consumer and business products that same month. The campaign aimed at bringing back the computer as a powerful personal tool, utilizing viral marketing and sophisticated visuals, and had its own website.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hppersonal2006-60) The ads featured [Pharrell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharrell "Pharrell"),[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-61) [Petra Nemcova](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petra_Nemcova "Petra Nemcova"), [Mark Burnett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Burnett "Mark Burnett"),[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hppersonal2006-60) [Mark Cuban](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Cuban "Mark Cuban"), [Alicia Keys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alicia_Keys "Alicia Keys"),[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-62) [Jay-Z](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay-Z "Jay-Z"),[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-63) [Gwen Stefani](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwen_Stefani "Gwen Stefani"), and [Shaun White](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_White "Shaun White").[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hppersonal2006-60) This campaign applied to HP's product offerings which included desktops, laptops, and other hardware and software.
HP introduced new laptop models for the HP Pavilion lineup in 2006, starting with the dv5000 series in January, the [dv2000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Pavilion_dv2000_series "HP Pavilion dv2000 series") series in May and later the [dv6000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Pavilion_dv6000_series "HP Pavilion dv6000 series") and [dv9000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Pavilion_dv9000_series "HP Pavilion dv9000 series") series in July.
In July 2007, HP signed a definitive agreement to acquire [Opsware](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opsware "Opsware") in a cash tender deal that values the company at \$14.25 per share, which combined Opsware software with the [Oracle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Corporation "Oracle Corporation") enterprise IT management software.[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-64)
In the first few years of Hurd's tenure as CEO, HP's stock price more than doubled. By the end of the 2007 fiscal year, HP reached the \$100 billion mark for the first time. The company's annual revenue reached \$104 billion, allowing HP to overtake competitor IBM.[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-65)
On May 13, 2008, HP and [Electronic Data Systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Data_Systems "Electronic Data Systems") (EDS) announced[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-66) that they had signed a definitive agreement under which HP would purchase EDS. On June 30, HP announced[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-67) that the waiting period under the [Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hart-Scott-Rodino_Antitrust_Improvements_Act "Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act") of 1976 had expired. "The transaction still requires EDS stockholder approval and regulatory clearance from the European Commission and other non-U.S. jurisdictions and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions specified in the merger agreement." The agreement was finalized on August 26, 2008, at \$13 billion, and it was publicly announced that EDS would be re-branded. The first targeted layoff of 24,600 former EDS workers was announced on September 15, 2008.[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-68) (The company's 2008 annual report gave the number as 24,700, to be completed by end of 2009.[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-69)) This round was factored into the purchase price as a \$19.5 billion liability against goodwill. As of September 23, 2009, EDS was known as HP Enterprise Services (now known as [DXC Technology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DXC_Technology "DXC Technology")).
On November 11, 2009, [3Com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3Com "3Com") and Hewlett-Packard announced that the latter would be acquiring 3Com for \$2.7 billion in cash.[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-70) The acquisition was one of the biggest in size among a series of takeovers and acquisitions by technology giants to push their way to become one-stop shops. Since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2007, tech giants have constantly felt the pressure to expand beyond their current market niches. [Dell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell "Dell") purchased [Perot Systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perot_Systems "Perot Systems") to move into the technology consulting business area previously dominated by [IBM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM "IBM"). Hewlett-Packard's latest move marked its diversification into enterprise networking gear market dominated by [Cisco](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco "Cisco").

On April 28, 2010, [Palm, Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm,_Inc. "Palm, Inc.") and HP announced that the latter would buy the former for \$1.2 billion in cash and debt.[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-71) Adding Palm handsets to the HP product line created some overlap with the [iPAQ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPAQ "IPAQ") series of mobile devices, but was thought to significantly improve HP's mobile presence as iPAQ devices had not been selling well. Buying Palm, Inc. gave HP a library of valuable patents and the mobile operating platform, [webOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebOS "WebOS"). On July 1, 2010, the acquisition of Palm, Inc. was finalized.[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-72) Purchasing its webOS was a big gamble to build HP's own ecosystem.[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-cliff-73) On July 1, 2011, HP launched its first tablet, [HP TouchPad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_TouchPad "HP TouchPad"), which brought webOS to tablet devices. On September 2, 2010, HP won the [bidding war](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bid_price "Bid price") for [3PAR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3PAR "3PAR") with a \$33 a share offer (\$2.07 billion) that Dell declined to match. After HP acquired Palm Inc., it phased out the Compaq brand.
On August 6, 2010, Hurd [resigned amid controversy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Hurd#Resignation "Mark Hurd") and CFO [Cathie Lesjak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathie_Lesjak "Cathie Lesjak") assumed the role of interim CEO. Hurd had turned HP around and was widely regarded as one of [Silicon Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley "Silicon Valley")'s star CEOs, and under his leadership, HP became the largest computer company in the world when measured by total revenue.[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-74) He was accused of [sexual harassment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_harassment "Sexual harassment") against a colleague, though the allegations were deemed baseless. The investigation led to questions concerning some of his expenses and the lack of disclosure related to the friendship.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-wjs1-75)[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-content.time.com-76) Some observers have argued that Hurd was innocent, but the board asked for his resignation to avoid [negative public relations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_PR "Black PR").[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-BI-hurd-77)
Public analysis was divided between those who saw it as a commendable tough action by HP and those who saw it as an ill-advised, hasty, and expensive reaction, that ousted a capable leader who had turned the business around.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-wjs1-75)[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-content.time.com-76)[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-78) At HP, Hurd oversaw a series of acquisitions worth over \$20 billion, which allowed the company to expand into services of networking equipment and smartphones.[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-79) HP shares dropped 8.4% in after-hours trading, hitting a 52-week low with a \$9 billion reduction in market capitalization.[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-80) [Larry Ellison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Ellison "Larry Ellison") publicly attacked HP's board for Hurd's ousting, stating that the HP board had "made the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs many years ago".[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-81)
On September 30, 2010, [Léo Apotheker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A9o_Apotheker "Léo Apotheker") was named HP's new CEO and president.[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-82) His appointment sparked a strong reaction from Ellison,[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-83) who complained that Apotheker had been in charge of [SAP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP "SAP") when one of its subsidiaries was systematically stealing software from Oracle. SAP accepted that its subsidiary, which has now closed, illegally accessed Oracle intellectual property.[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-84) Following Hurd's departure, HP was seen to be problematic by the market, with margins falling and them failing to establish themselves in major new markets such as cloud and mobile services.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\] Apotheker's strategy was to broadly aim at disposing hardware, whilst moving into the more profitable [software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software "Software") [services](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_service_provider "Business service provider") [sector](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_sector "Business sector"). On August 18, 2011, HP announced that it would strategically exit the [smartphone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone "Smartphone") and [tablet computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablet_computer "Tablet computer") business, and focus on higher-margin "strategic priorities of Cloud, solutions and software with an emphasis on enterprise, commercial and government markets".[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-85) It also contemplated selling off its personal computer division or spinning it off into a separate company,[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-86) and quitting PC development while continuing to sell servers and other equipment to business customers, which was a strategy undertaken by IBM in 2005.[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-87)
On November 1, 2010, the classic 1979 Hewlett-Packard logo was discontinued and replaced with a new circle HP logo, with a larger and thinner wormark, for corporate branding. The 2008 circle variant was continued to be used as the secondary logo. This also made the 1999 symbol-only variant was also discontinued on the same day. The last product to use this logo was the HP ProLiant DL380 G7.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-88)
HP's stock dropped by about a further 40% after the company abruptly announced a number of decisions: to discontinue its webOS device business (mobile phones and tablet computers), the intent to sell its [personal computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_computer "Personal computer") division (at the time HP was the largest personal computer manufacturer in the world), and to acquire British [big data](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_data "Big data") software firm [Autonomy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomy_Corporation "Autonomy Corporation") for a 79% [premium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_premium "Control premium"), seen externally as an "absurdly high" price[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-bloomberg29nov2012-89) for a business with known concerns over its accounts.[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-90) Media analysts described HP's actions as a "botched strategy shift" and a "chaotic" attempt to rapidly [reposition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnaround_management "Turnaround management") HP and enhance earnings.[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-bloomberg29nov2012-89)[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-telegraph19aug2011-91)[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-reuters3oct2011-92) HP's CFO objected to the Autonomy acquisition.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-telegraph25nov2012-93)[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hussainmotion11aug2014-94): 3–6
HP lost more than \$30 billion in market capitalization during Apotheker's tenure, and on September 22, 2011, the HP Board of Directors fired him as chief executive and replaced him with fellow board member and former [eBay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBay "EBay") chief [Meg Whitman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meg_Whitman "Meg Whitman"),[\[95\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-95) with [Raymond J. Lane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_J._Lane "Raymond J. Lane") as executive chairman. Although Apotheker served barely ten months, he received over \$13 million in compensation.[\[96\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-96) Weeks later, HP announced that a review had concluded their PC division was too integrated and critical to business operations, and the company reaffirmed their commitment to the Personal Systems Group.[\[97\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-97)
On March 21, 2012, HP said its printing and PC divisions would become one unit headed by Todd Bradley from the PC division, and printing chief Vyomesh Joshi left the company.[\[98\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-98)
On May 23, 2012, HP announced plans to lay off approximately 27,000 employees, after posting a profit decline of 31% in the second quarter of 2012.[\[99\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-99) Profits declined because of the growing popularity of smart phones, tablets, and other mobile devices, which slowed down personal computer sales.[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-100)
On May 30, 2012, HP unveiled its first [net zero](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_neutrality "Carbon neutrality") energy data center, which used solar energy and other renewable sources instead of traditional power grids.[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-101)
On July 10, 2012, HP's Server Monitoring Software was discovered to have a [previously unknown security vulnerability](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-day_attack "Zero-day attack").[\[102\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-102) A security warning was given to customers about two vulnerabilities, and a [patch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patch "Software patch") addressing the issues was released.[\[103\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-103) One month later, HP's official training center was hacked and defaced by a Pakistani hacker known as Hitcher to demonstrate a Web vulnerability.[\[104\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-104)
On September 10, 2012, HP revised their restructuring figures and started cutting 29,000 jobs.[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-105)
In November 2012, HP [wrote off](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write-off "Write-off") almost \$9 billion related to the Autonomy acquisition, which became the subject of intense litigation, as HP accused Autonomy's previous management of fraudulently exaggerating Autonomy's financial position and called in law enforcement and regulators in both countries.

On December 31, 2013, HP revised the number of jobs cut from 29,000 to 34,000 up to October 2014. The number of jobs cut until the end of 2013 was 24,600.[\[106\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-106)[\[107\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-107)[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-108) At the end of 2013 the company had 317,500 employees. On May 22, 2014, HP announced it would cut a further 11,000 to 16,000 jobs, in addition to the 34,000 announced in 2013. Whitman said: "We are gradually shaping HP into a more nimble, lower-cost, more customer and partner-centric company that can successfully compete across a rapidly changing IT landscape."[\[109\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-HPjobs-109)
During the June 2014 HP Discover customer event in [Las Vegas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas "Las Vegas"), Whitman and Martin Fink announced a project for a radically new computer architecture called [The Machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Machine_\(computer_architecture\) "The Machine (computer architecture)"). Based on [memristors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor "Memristor") and [silicon photonics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_photonics "Silicon photonics"), it was supposed to come into commercialization before the end of the decade, and represented 75% of the research activity in HP Labs at the time.[\[110\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-110)
On October 6, 2014, HP announced it was going to split into two separate companies to separate its personal computer and printer businesses from its technology services. The split, which was first reported by *[The Wall Street Journal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wall_Street_Journal "The Wall Street Journal")* and confirmed by other media, resulted in two publicly traded companies on November 1, 2015: [Hewlett Packard Enterprise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett_Packard_Enterprise "Hewlett Packard Enterprise") and [HP Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Inc. "HP Inc.") The split was structured so that Hewlett-Packard changed its name to HP Inc. and spun off Hewlett Packard Enterprise as a new publicly traded company.[\[111\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-111)[\[112\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-112) Whitman became chairman of HP Inc. and CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, [Patricia Russo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Russo "Patricia Russo") became chairman of the enterprise business, and [Dion Weisler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dion_Weisler "Dion Weisler") became CEO of HP, Inc.[\[113\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-113)[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-114)[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-115)

## Controversies
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=17 "Edit section: Controversies")\]
### Employee death in fall from airplane
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=18 "Edit section: Employee death in fall from airplane")\]
On December 14, 2000, Elisabeth M. Otto, an employee at HP, fell to her death from a commuter flight shortly after takeoff under suspicious circumstances.[\[161\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-161) The flight was a routine commute for HP employees, shuttling them from Roseville to Palo Alto, CA. No one reported the incident until after the plane had landed.[\[162\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-latimesplanefall-162)
Authorities concluded that Otto had most likely opened the door herself and jumped to her death from an altitude of about 2,000 feet. Her body was later found in a garden. It is believed that the reason why the incident was not immediately reported was due to confusion resulting from the shock of passengers and the loud noise from the open door. Apparently one of the other employees had struggled with Otto while trying to prevent her from jumping from the [de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Canada_DHC-6_Twin_Otter "De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter") but was unable to stop her.[\[162\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-latimesplanefall-162)
When the co-pilot came to close the open door, passengers apparently attempted to explain what had happened but this was not understood due to noise. An airplane mechanic reported the incident about 40 minutes after the flight had landed.[\[162\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-latimesplanefall-162)
### Restatement
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=19 "Edit section: Restatement")\]
In March 2003, HP restated its first-quarter cash flow from operations, reducing it by 18 percent because of an accounting error. The actual cash flow from operations was \$647 million, and not \$791 million as reported; HP shifted \$144 million to net cash used in investing activities.[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-163)
### Spying scandal
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=20 "Edit section: Spying scandal")\]
Main article: [Hewlett-Packard spying scandal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard_spying_scandal "Hewlett-Packard spying scandal")
On September 5, 2006, Shawn Cabalfin and David O'Neil of *[Newsweek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsweek "Newsweek")* wrote that HP's [general counsel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_counsel "General counsel"), at the behest of chairwoman [Patricia Dunn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_C._Dunn "Patricia C. Dunn"), contracted a team of independent security experts to investigate board members and several journalists to identify the source of an information leak.[\[164\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-164) In turn, those security experts recruited private investigators who used [pretexting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretexting "Pretexting"),[\[165\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-165) which involved investigators [impersonating](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impersonator "Impersonator") HP board members and nine journalists (including reporters for [CNET](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNET "CNET"), *[The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times")* and *[The Wall Street Journal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wall_Street_Journal "The Wall Street Journal")*) in order to obtain their phone records. The information leaked related to HP's long-term strategy and was published as part of a [CNET](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNET "CNET") article[\[166\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-166) in January 2006. Most HP employees accused of criminal acts have since been acquitted.[\[167\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-167)
### Hardware
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=21 "Edit section: Hardware")\]
In November 2007, HP released a BIOS update covering a wide range of laptops with the intent to speed up the computer fan and have it run constantly while the computer was on or off[\[168\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-168) to prevent the overheating of defective [Nvidia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia "Nvidia") graphics processing units (GPUs) that had been shipped to many of the original equipment manufacturers, including HP, Dell, and Apple.[\[169\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-169) The defect concerned the new material used by Nvidia from 2007 onwards in joining the graphics chip onto the motherboard, which did not perform well under thermal cycling and was prone to develop stress cracks – effectively severing the connection between the GPU and the motherboard that led to a blank screen.[\[170\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-NVIDIA_2009_Business_Update-170)
In July 2008, HP issued an extension to the initial one-year warranty to replace the motherboards of selected models.[\[171\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-171) However, this option was not extended to all models with the defective Nvidia chipsets, despite research showing that these computers were also affected by the fault.[\[172\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-172) The replacement of the motherboard was a temporary fix, since the fault was inherent in all units of the affected models from the point of manufacture, including the replacement motherboards offered by HP.[\[173\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-173)[\[174\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-174)
Since then, several websites have been documenting the issue.[\[175\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-175) There have been several small-claims lawsuits filed in several states, as well as suits filed in other countries. HP also faced a class-action lawsuit in 2009 over its i7 processor computers: the complainants stated that their systems consistently froze within 30 minutes of powering on. Even after being replaced with newer i7 systems, the problem continued.[\[176\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-176)
### Lawsuit against Oracle
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=22 "Edit section: Lawsuit against Oracle")\]
HP filed a lawsuit in California Superior Court in Santa Clara, claiming that Oracle had breached an agreement to support the [Itanium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itanium "Itanium") microprocessor used in HP's high-end enterprise servers.[\[177\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-177) On June 15, 2011, HP sent a "formal legal demand" letter to Oracle in an attempt to force them to reverse its decision to discontinue software development on Intel Itanium microprocessors[\[178\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-178) and build its own servers.[\[179\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-businessinsider.com-179) HP won the lawsuit in 2012, which required Oracle to continue producing software compatible with the Itanium processor.[\[180\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-180) HP was awarded \$3 billion in damages against Oracle on June 30, 2016,[\[179\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-businessinsider.com-179)[\[181\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-181) arguing that Oracle canceling support damaged HP's Itanium server brand. Oracle said it would appeal both the decision and damages.
### HP wage and hour lawsuit
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=23 "Edit section: HP wage and hour lawsuit")\]
Several class action firms filed a class action lawsuit on January 12, 2012, against HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise ("HP"), entitled "Jeffrey Wall, etc. v. HP, Inc." (formerly known as Hewlett-Packard Company, et al.), Case No. 30-2012-00537897, pending in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange. According to the lawsuit, HP allegedly failed to pay commission payments and incentive compensation that its California sales employees were owed within the timeframes proscribed by California law (Labor Code §§ 201, 202 and 204).[\[182\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-182) In 2017, FDAzar obtained a settlement of \$25 million for class participants and changed the way HP pays incentive compensation and commission payments.[\[183\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-183)
### Takeover of Autonomy
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=24 "Edit section: Takeover of Autonomy")\]
See also: [Autonomy Corporation § Hewlett-Packard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomy_Corporation#Hewlett-Packard "Autonomy Corporation")
In November 2012, HP recorded a write-down of around \$8.8 billion related to its acquisition a year earlier of the UK-based [Autonomy Corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomy_Corporation "Autonomy Corporation") [PLC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_limited_company "Public limited company"). At that time, HP had fired its previous CEO for expenses irregularities a year before, and appointed Apotheker. HP was seen as problematic by the market. Autonomy was acquired by HP in October 2011. HP paid \$10.3 billion for 87.3% of the shares, valuing Autonomy at around \$11.7 billion (£7.4 billion) overall, a [premium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_premium "Control premium") of 79% over market price. The deal was widely criticized as "absurdly high", a "botched strategy shift" and a "chaotic" attempt to [reposition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnaround_management "Turnaround management") HP and enhance earnings,[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-bloomberg29nov2012-89)[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-telegraph19aug2011-91)[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-reuters3oct2011-92) and was objected to by HP's own CFO.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-telegraph25nov2012-93)[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hussainmotion11aug2014-94): 3–6 Within a year, Apotheker was fired, major [culture clashes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_conflict "Cultural conflict") became apparent, and HP wrote off \$8.8 billion of Autonomy's value.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-telegraph25nov2012-93)
The [Serious Fraud Office](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serious_Fraud_Office_\(United_Kingdom\) "Serious Fraud Office (United Kingdom)") (SFO) and the SEC joined the [FBI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation "Federal Bureau of Investigation") in investigating the potential anomalies. HP incurred damage with its stock falling to its lowest in decades.[\[184\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-rogers2012-184)[\[185\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-bbcstaff2012-185)[\[186\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-owens2012-186) Three lawsuits were brought by shareholders against HP for the fall in value of HP shares. In August 2014, a [United States district court](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_district_court "United States district court") judge threw out a proposed settlement, which Autonomy's previous management had argued would be [collusive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collusive_lawsuit "Collusive lawsuit") and intended to divert scrutiny of HP's own responsibility and knowledge. It essentially engaged the plaintiff's attorneys from the existing cases and redirected them against the previous Autonomy vendors and management for a fee of up to \$48 million, with plaintiffs agreeing to end any claims against HP's management and similarly redirect those claims against the previous Autonomy vendors and management.[\[187\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-187)[\[188\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-188) In January 2015 the SFO closed its investigation as the likelihood of a successful prosecution was low.[\[189\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-189) The dispute continued in the US, and is being investigated by the UK and Ireland [Financial Reporting Council](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Reporting_Council "Financial Reporting Council"). On June 9, 2015, HP agreed to pay \$100 million to investors who bought HP shares between August 19, 2011 and November 20, 2012, to settle the lawsuits over the Autonomy purchase.[\[190\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-190)
Another term of the shareholder settlement was to sue Autonomy management, which occurred in London in 2019. HP "failed to produce a smoking gun for the fraud it alleges",[\[191\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:1-191) and its accountants admitted that they "never formally prepared anything to attribute the irregularities to the amount of the fraud".[\[191\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:1-191)
In June 2024, a jury acquitted Autonomy founder Mike Lynch and co-defendant Steve Chamberlain. Steve Chamberlain was hit by a car while jogging on August 17, 2024.[\[192\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-192) Mike Lynch, along with his 18 year old daughter, drowned after their yacht sank on August 20, 2024 (the accident killed a total of seven people).[\[193\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-193)
In July 2025, a judge at London's High Court ruled that HP is owed more than 700 million pounds (\$944 million), in respect of the acquisition of Autonomy.[\[194\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-194)
### Israeli settlements
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=25 "Edit section: Israeli settlements")\]
Hewlett-Packard supplies a range of technology solutions and hardware infrastructure to various Israeli institutions, including the [military](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Defense_Forces "Israel Defense Forces"), government agencies, and law enforcement bodies.[\[195\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:2-195) Among its notable clients is the Israeli Immigration and Population Authority, to which the company provides dedicated technological support and equipment.[\[195\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:2-195)
On October 25, 2012, [Richard Falk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Falk "Richard Falk"), the [United Nations Human Rights Council](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Human_Rights_Council "United Nations Human Rights Council")'s Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the [Palestinian territories](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_territories "Palestinian territories") occupied since 1967, called to boycott HP and other businesses that profit from [Israeli settlements](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_settlement "Israeli settlement") on occupied Palestinian lands until they brought their operations in line with international human rights and humanitarian law.[\[196\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-196)[\[197\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-197) In 2014, the [Presbyterian Church (USA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyterian_Church_\(USA\) "Presbyterian Church (USA)") voted to move forward with divestment from HP to pressure Israel in regard to their policies toward Palestinians.[\[198\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-198) In 2015, the Human Rights Commission of [Portland, Oregon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland,_Oregon "Portland, Oregon"), requested to place [Caterpillar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caterpillar_Inc "Caterpillar Inc"), [G4S](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G4S "G4S"), HP, and [Motorola Solutions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Solutions "Motorola Solutions") on the city's "Do Not Buy" list.[\[199\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-199)
### Bribery
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=26 "Edit section: Bribery")\]
On April 9, 2014, an administrative proceeding before the SEC was settled by HP consenting to an order acknowledging that HP had violated the [Foreign Corrupt Practices Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Corrupt_Practices_Act "Foreign Corrupt Practices Act") (FCPA) when HP subsidiaries in Russia, Poland, and Mexico made improper payments to government officials to obtain or retain lucrative public contracts.[\[200\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-bort-200)
The SEC's order found that HP's subsidiary in Russia paid more than \$2 million through agents and various shell companies to a Russian government official to retain a multimillion-dollar contract with the federal prosecutor's office; in Poland, HP's subsidiary provided gifts and cash bribes worth more than \$600,000 to a Polish government official to obtain contracts with the national police agency; and to win a software sale to Mexico's state-owned petroleum company, HP's subsidiary in Mexico paid more than \$1 million in inflated commissions to a consultant with close ties to company officials, one of whom was funneled money. HP agreed to pay \$108 million to settle the SEC charges and a parallel criminal case.[\[201\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-201)[\[200\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-bort-200)[\[202\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-202)

"Apotheker believed that HP's platform was sinking ... \[and\] appeared to be in a hurry to transform the company ... In a rapid series of moves announced in August 2011, Apotheker killed HP's six-week-old TouchPad tablet, explored plans for a spin-out of its PC business, and championed the \$10.3 billion acquisition of Autonomy. One former HP executive who worked there at the time says it appeared that Apotheker and the board didn't know what to do, and were trying anything they could think of. It wasn't a strategy, he says. It was chaos ... Oracle CEO Larry Ellison called Autonomy's asking price 'absurdly high'."

The **Hewlett-Packard Company**, commonly shortened to **Hewlett-Packard** ( [*HEW\-lit PAK\-ərd*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Pronunciation_respelling_key "Help:Pronunciation respelling key")) or **HP**, was an American multinational [information technology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_technology "Information technology") company. It was founded by [Bill Hewlett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Hewlett "Bill Hewlett") and [David Packard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Packard "David Packard") in 1939 in a one-car garage in [Palo Alto, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Alto,_California "Palo Alto, California"). Growing to become an influential high-tech powerhouse at the heart of [Silicon Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley "Silicon Valley"), the company was known for its progressive business philosophy, deemed [the HP Way](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_HP_Way "The HP Way"). HP developed and provided a wide variety of hardware components, as well as software and related services, to consumers, small and medium-sized businesses ([SMBs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_and_medium-sized_enterprises "Small and medium-sized enterprises")), and fairly large companies, including customers in government sectors. At its peak in 2011, HP employed 350,000 people around the globe.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-2) The company officially split into [Hewlett Packard Enterprise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett_Packard_Enterprise "Hewlett Packard Enterprise") and [HP Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Inc. "HP Inc.") in 2015.
HP initially produced a line of electronic test and measurement equipment. It won its first big contract in 1938 to provide the [HP 200B](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_200B "HP 200B"), a variation of its first product, the [HP 200A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_200A "HP 200A") low-distortion frequency oscillator,[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-3) for [Walt Disney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney "Walt Disney")'s production of the 1940 animated film *[Fantasia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasia_\(1940_film\) "Fantasia (1940 film)")*, which allowed Hewlett and Packard to formally establish the Hewlett-Packard Company on July 2, 1939.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-4) The company grew into a [multinational corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinational_corporation "Multinational corporation") widely respected for its products. HP was the world's [leading PC manufacturer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_share_of_personal_computer_vendors "Market share of personal computer vendors") from 2007 until the second quarter of 2013 when [Lenovo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenovo "Lenovo") moved ahead of HP.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-5)[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:3-6)[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-2014_PC-7) HP specialized in developing and manufacturing computing, data storage, and networking hardware, designing software, and delivering services. Major product lines included personal computing devices, enterprise and industry standard servers, related storage devices, networking products, software, and a range of printers and other imaging products. The company directly marketed its products to households, small- to medium-sized businesses, and enterprises, as well as via online distribution, consumer-electronics, and office-supply retailers, software partners, and major technology vendors. It also offered services and a consulting business for its products and partner products.
In 1999, HP [spun off](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_spin-off "Corporate spin-off") its electronic and bio-analytical test and measurement instruments business into [Agilent Technologies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agilent_Technologies "Agilent Technologies"); HP retained focus on its later products, including computers and printers. It [merged](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mergers_and_acquisitions "Mergers and acquisitions") with [Compaq](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq "Compaq") in 2002 in what was then a major deal within the industry.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-8) They made [numerous other acquisitions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Hewlett-Packard "List of acquisitions by Hewlett-Packard") including [Electronic Data Systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Data_Systems "Electronic Data Systems") in 2008, which led to combined revenues of \$118.4 billion that year and a [Fortune 500](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_500 "Fortune 500") ranking of 9 in 2009, and later [3Com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3Com "3Com"),[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-acquisitions-cement-companys-no-1-status-9)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-10) [Palm, Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm,_Inc. "Palm, Inc."),[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-11) and [3PAR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3PAR "3PAR"), all in 2010,[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-12) followed by [Autonomy Corp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomy_Corp "Autonomy Corp").[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-13) However, as a result of the turmoil created by several of these acquisitions, the company's fortunes swiftly declined in the 2010s.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-14)[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-15) This led to Hewlett-Packard Company's split into two separate companies on November 1, 2015: its enterprise products and services business were spun-off to form [Hewlett Packard Enterprise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett_Packard_Enterprise "Hewlett Packard Enterprise"), while its personal computer and printer businesses became HP Inc. The split was structured so that the former Hewlett-Packard Company would change its name to HP Inc. and spin off Hewlett Packard Enterprise as a newly created company. HP Inc. retained the old Hewlett-Packard's stock-price history and original NYSE ticker symbol; Hewlett Packard Enterprise trades under its own ticker symbol: HPE.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-16)[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-17)

[Bill Hewlett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Hewlett "Bill Hewlett") and [David Packard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Packard "David Packard") graduated with degrees in [electrical engineering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_engineering "Electrical engineering") from [Stanford University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_University "Stanford University") in 1935. The company started in a [garage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Garage "HP Garage") in [Palo Alto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Alto,_California "Palo Alto, California") during a fellowship they had with past professor [Frederick Terman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Terman "Frederick Terman") at Stanford during the [Great Depression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression "Great Depression"), whom they considered a mentor.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-isbn1-59184-152-6-18) In 1938, Packard and Hewlett began part-time work in a rented garage with an initial capital investment of US\$538 (equivalent to \$12,305 in 2025). In 1939, Hewlett and Packard decided to formalize their partnership. They tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard (HP) or Packard-Hewlett.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-19)
Hewlett and Packard's first financially successful product was a precision audio [oscillator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_oscillator "Electronic oscillator") known as the [HP 200A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_200A "HP 200A"), which used a small incandescent [light bulb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_bulb "Light bulb") as a temperature dependent [resistor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor "Resistor") in a critical portion of the circuit, and a [negative feedback](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_feedback "Negative feedback") loop to stabilize the amplitude of the output sinusoidal waveform. This allowed the HP 200A to be sold for \$89.40 when competitors were selling less stable oscillators for over \$200. The 200 series of generators continued production until at least 1972 as the 200AB, still tube-based but improved in design through the years.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-20)
One of the company's earliest customers was Bud Hawkins, chief [sound engineer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_engineer "Sound engineer") for [Walt Disney Studios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney_Studios_\(division\) "Walt Disney Studios (division)"), who bought eight HP 200B audio oscillators (at \$71.50 each) to be used in the animated film *[Fantasia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasia_\(1940_film\) "Fantasia (1940 film)")*. HP's profit at the end of 1939, its first full year of business, was \$1,563 (equivalent to \$36,177 in 2025) on revenues of \$5,369.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-HP-21)
In 1942, they built their first building at 395 Page Mill Road and were awarded the [Army-Navy "E" Award](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army-Navy_%22E%22_Award "Army-Navy \"E\" Award") in 1943. HP employed 200 people and produced the audio oscillator, a wave analyzer, distortion analyzers, an audio-signal generator, and the Model 400A [vacuum-tube voltmeter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltmeter#VTVMs_and_FET-VMs "Voltmeter") during the war.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-HP-21): 54–60, 195
Hewlett and Packard worked on counter-radar technology and artillery shell [proximity fuzes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_fuze "Proximity fuze") during World War II; the work exempted Packard from the draft,[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-22) but Hewlett had to serve as an officer in the [Army Signal Corps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_Signal_Corps "Army Signal Corps") after being called to active duty.
HP was incorporated on August 18, 1947, with Packard as president. Sales reached \$5.5 million in 1951 with 215 employees. The company went public on November 6, 1957.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-HP-21): 35, 40, 64, 70, 196 In 1959, a manufacturing plant was established in [Böblingen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%B6blingen "Böblingen") and a marketing organization in [Geneva](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva "Geneva").[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-HP-21): 196 Packard handed the presidency over to Hewlett when he became chairman in 1964, but remained CEO of the company.

The [HP200A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP200A "HP200A"), a precision audio [oscillator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_oscillator "Electronic oscillator"), was the company's first financially successful product.
HP is recognized as the symbolic founder of [Silicon Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley "Silicon Valley"), though it did not actively investigate [semiconductor devices](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_devices "Semiconductor devices") until a few years after the "[traitorous eight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traitorous_eight "Traitorous eight")" abandoned [William Shockley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shockley "William Shockley") to create [Fairchild Semiconductor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Semiconductor "Fairchild Semiconductor") in 1957. The company's HP Associates division was established around 1960 under the leadership of [Jack Melchor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Melchor "Jack Melchor") to develop semiconductor devices primarily for internal use.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-24) Instruments and [calculators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculators "Calculators") were some of the original HP products that used semiconductor devices.
During the 1960s, HP partnered with [Sony](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony "Sony") and [Yokogawa Electric](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yokogawa_Electric "Yokogawa Electric") in Japan to develop several high-quality products. The products were not a huge success, as there were high costs involved in building HP-looking products in Japan. In 1963, HP and Yokogawa formed the joint venture Yokogawa-Hewlett-Packard to market HP products in Japan.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-25) HP bought Yokogawa Electric's share of Hewlett-Packard Japan in 1999.[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-26)
HP spun off the small company Dynac to specialize in digital equipment. The name was picked so that the HP logo could be turned upside down to be a reflected image of the logo of the new company. Dynac was eventually renamed Dymec and folded back into HP in 1959.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-27) HP experimented with using [Digital Equipment Corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Equipment_Corporation "Digital Equipment Corporation") (DEC) minicomputers with its instruments, but entered the computer market in 1966 with the [HP 2100](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_2100 "HP 2100") / [HP 1000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_1000 "HP 1000") series of minicomputers after it decided that it would be easier to build another small design team than deal with DEC. The minicomputers had a simple [accumulator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accumulator_\(computing\) "Accumulator (computing)")\-based design with two accumulator registers and, in the HP 1000 models, two [index registers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_register "Index register"). The series was produced for 20 years in spite of several attempts to replace it, and was a forerunner of the [HP 9800](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_9830 "HP 9830") and [HP 250](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_250 "HP 250") series of desktop and business computers.
Beginning in 1961, Hewlett-Packard was listed on the [New York Stock Exchange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Stock_Exchange "New York Stock Exchange") (as well as the now-closed [Pacific Exchange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Exchange "Pacific Exchange")) under its own [ticker symbol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticker_symbol "Ticker symbol"), "HWP".[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hphistory97-1) At the end of 1968, Packard handed over the duties of CEO to Hewlett to become [United States Deputy Secretary of Defense](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Deputy_Secretary_of_Defense "United States Deputy Secretary of Defense") in the incoming Nixon administration. He resumed the chairmanship in 1972 and served until 1993, but Hewlett remained the CEO.

Introduced in 1968, "The new [Hewlett-Packard 9100A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard_9100A "Hewlett-Packard 9100A") personal computer is ready, willing, and able ... to relieve you of waiting to get on the big computer."
The [HP 3000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_3000 "HP 3000") was an advanced stack-based design for a business computing server, later redesigned with [RISC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC "RISC") technology. The [HP 2640](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_2640 "HP 2640") series of [smart](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_terminal#Block-oriented_terminal "Computer terminal") and [intelligent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_terminal#"Intelligent"_terminals "Computer terminal") terminals introduced forms-based interfaces to [ASCII](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII "ASCII") terminals, and also introduced [screen labeled function keys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_labeled_function_keys "Screen labeled function keys"). The HP 2640 series included one of the first bit mapped graphics displays that, when combined with the [HP 2100](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_2100 "HP 2100") 21MX F-Series microcoded Scientific Instruction Set,[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-28) enabled the first commercial [WYSIWYG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG "WYSIWYG") [presentation program](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presentation_program "Presentation program"), [BRUNO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRUNO "BRUNO"), that later became the program HP-Draw on the HP 3000. Although scoffed at in the formative days of computing, HP surpassed IBM as the world's largest technology vendor in terms of sales.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-29)
HP was identified by *[Wired](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Magazine "Wired Magazine")* magazine as the producer of the world's first device to be called a personal computer: the [Hewlett-Packard 9100A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard_9100A "Hewlett-Packard 9100A"), introduced in 1968.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-30) HP called it a desktop calculator because, as Hewlett said: "If we had called it a computer, it would have been rejected by our customers' computer gurus because it didn't look like an [IBM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_mainframe "IBM mainframe"). We therefore decided to call it a calculator, and all such nonsense disappeared." An engineering triumph at the time, the logic circuit was produced without any [integrated circuits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuits "Integrated circuits"), and the CPU assembly was entirely executed in discrete components. With [CRT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray_tube "Cathode ray tube") display, magnetic-card storage, and printer, the price was around \$5,000. The machine's keyboard was a cross between the keyboard of a scientific calculator and the keyboard of an adding machine. There was no alphabetic keyboard.
[Apple](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc. "Apple Inc.") co-founder [Steve Wozniak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Wozniak "Steve Wozniak") originally designed the [Apple I](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_I "Apple I") computer while working at HP and offered it to them under their [right of first refusal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_first_refusal "Right of first refusal") to his work. They did not take it up as the company wanted to stay in scientific, business, and industrial markets. Wozniak said that HP "turned him down five times", but that his loyalty to HP made him hesitant to start Apple with [Steve Jobs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs "Steve Jobs").[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-AI-31)
The company earned global respect for a variety of products. They introduced the world's first handheld scientific electronic [calculator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator "Calculator") in 1972 (the [HP-35](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-35 "HP-35")), the first handheld programmable in 1974 (the [HP-65](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-65 "HP-65")), the first alphanumeric, programmable, expandable in 1979 (the [HP-41](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-41 "HP-41")C), and the first symbolic and graphing calculator, the [HP-28C](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-28C "HP-28C").
Like their scientific and business calculators, HP [oscilloscopes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscilloscope "Oscilloscope"), [logic analyzers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_analyzer "Logic analyzer"), and other measurement instruments had a reputation for sturdiness and usability. HP introduced the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HPIB) computer peripheral interface (later cloned by National Instruments as GPIB and standardized by the [IEEE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE "IEEE") as [IEEE-488](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE-488 "IEEE-488")) on their relay actuator products in 1973. HPIB was later integrated into most high end test & measurement equipment it produced from 1980 onward.
As early as 1977, HP began production of the HP856x [spectrum analyzers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_analyzer "Spectrum analyzer") to complement its RF power meters and sensors capable of measuring signals in excess of 20 GHz. HP also produced configurable chassis based [sweep generators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweep_generator "Sweep generator") capable of generating signals to 20 GHz. Other T\&M products of the time included lab grade multimeters, microwave frequency counters, RF amplifiers, high accuracy microwave detectors, lab grade power supplies and more. These products were succeeded by modernized versions as well as the introduction of the scalar and [vector network analyzer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_network_analyzer "Vector network analyzer") product lines prior to the business being spun off into [Agilent Technologies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agilent_Technologies "Agilent Technologies").
The [HP 9800 series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_9800_series "HP 9800 series") of technical desktop computers started in 1971 with the 9810A. The [HP Series 80](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Series_80 "HP Series 80") started in 1979 with the 85.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-32) Some of these machines used a version of the [BASIC programming language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC_programming_language "BASIC programming language"), which was available immediately after they were switched on, and used a proprietary magnetic tape for storage. HP computers were similar in capabilities to the much later [IBM Personal Computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer "IBM Personal Computer"), though the limitations of available technology forced prices to be high.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\]
In 1978, Hewlett stepped down as CEO and was succeeded by [John A. Young](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_A._Young "John A. Young").
HP expanded into [South Africa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa "South Africa") in the 1980s. Activists supporting [divestment from South Africa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinvestment_from_South_Africa "Disinvestment from South Africa") accused HP of "automating [apartheid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid "Apartheid")".[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-33)
Sales reached \$6.5 billion in 1985 with 85,000 employees.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-HP-21): 198
In 1984, HP introduced both [inkjet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkjet_printer "Inkjet printer") and [laser printers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_printer "Laser printer") for the desktop. Along with its [scanner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scanner "Image scanner") product line, the printers have later been developed into successful [multifunction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-function_printer "Multi-function printer") products, the most significant being single-unit printer/scanner/copier/fax machines. The print mechanisms in HP's [LaserJet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_LaserJet "HP LaserJet") line of laser printers depend almost entirely on [Canon Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_Inc. "Canon Inc.")'s components (print engines), which in turn use technology developed by [Xerox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerox "Xerox"). HP developed the hardware, firmware, and software to convert data into dots for printing.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-34)
On March 3, 1986, HP registered the HP.com domain name, making it the [ninth internet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_oldest_currently-registered_Internet_domain_names "List of the oldest currently-registered Internet domain names") .com domain to be registered.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-35)
In 1987, the Palo Alto garage where Hewlett and Packard started their business was designated as a [California Historical Landmark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Historical_Landmarks_in_Santa_Clara_County,_California "California Historical Landmarks in Santa Clara County, California").

In the 1990s, HP expanded their computer product line, which initially had been targeted at university, research, and business users, to reach consumers. In 1995, HP entered into the home and home office market for the first time with the introduction of the [HP Pavilion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Pavilion "HP Pavilion") brand of personal computers,[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hphistory97-1) which initially featured desktop models but later added laptop and notebook models to the lineup in 1999.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-pavilionnotebook99-37) HP also grew through acquisitions: it bought [Apollo Computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Computer "Apollo Computer") in 1989 and [Convex Computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_Computer "Convex Computer") in 1995.
In 1992, Young was succeeded by [Lewis E. Platt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_E._Platt "Lewis E. Platt"), and in 1993 Packard stepped down from the board, with Platt succeeding Packard as chairman.
In 1993, HP acquired [Advanced Design System](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Design_System "Advanced Design System") from Pathwave. The ADS suite of RF simulation tools was spun off into Agilent in 1999 along with related T\&M business units, all of which were carried forward into the spinoff of Agilent into Keysight.
Later in the decade, HP opened hpshopping.com as an independent subsidiary to sell online, direct to consumers; in 2005, the store was renamed "HP Home & Home Office Store".
From 1995 to 1999, Hewlett-Packard were sponsors of the English football team [Tottenham Hotspur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C. "Tottenham Hotspur F.C.").
In 1999, all of the businesses not related to computers, storage, and imaging were spun off from HP to form [Agilent Technologies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agilent_Technologies "Agilent Technologies"). Agilent's spin-off was the largest [initial public offering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_public_offering "Initial public offering") in the history of [Silicon Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley "Silicon Valley"),[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-38) and it created an \$8 billion company with about 30,000 employees, manufacturing [scientific instruments](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_instrument "Measuring instrument"), [semiconductors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor "Semiconductor"), optical networking devices, and [electronic test equipment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_test_equipment "Electronic test equipment") for [telecom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications "Telecommunications") and wireless, [research and development](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_and_development "Research and development"), and production.
In July 1999, HP appointed [Carly Fiorina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina "Carly Fiorina") as the first female [CEO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEO "CEO") of a Fortune-20 company in the [Dow Jones Industrial Average](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dow_Jones_Industrial_Average "Dow Jones Industrial Average").[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-39) Fiorina received a larger signing offer than any of her predecessors.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-40) The same year, Fiorina articulated a set of "[rules of the garage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_of_the_garage "Rules of the garage")" in an attempt to reinterpret the spirit of the company's founders.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-41)
#### Sales to Iran despite sanctions
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=6 "Edit section: Sales to Iran despite sanctions")\]
In 1997, HP started selling its products in [Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran "Iran") through a European subsidiary and a [Dubai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai "Dubai")\-based Middle Eastern distributor, despite U.S. export sanctions prohibiting such deals imposed by [Bill Clinton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton "Bill Clinton")'s [1995 executive orders](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._sanctions_against_Iran#Rafsanjani_and_Khatami_governments "U.S. sanctions against Iran").[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-Bloomberg.Iran-42)[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-43)[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-44) The story was initially reported by *[The Boston Globe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boston_Globe "The Boston Globe")*,[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-BostonGlobe.sanctions-45) and it triggered an inquiry by the [U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Securities_and_Exchange_Commission "U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission") (SEC). HP responded that products worth US\$120 million were sold in fiscal year 2008[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-46) for distribution via Redington Gulf, a company based in the Netherlands, and that as these sales took place through a foreign subsidiary, HP had not violated sanctions.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-Bloomberg.Iran-42)
HP named Redington Gulf "Wholesaler of the Year" in 2003, which in turn published a press release stating that "the seeds of the Redington-Hewlett-Packard relationship were sowed six years ago for one market — Iran."[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-Bloomberg.Iran-42) At the time, Redington Gulf had only three employees whose sole purpose was to sell HP products to the Iran market.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-BostonGlobe.sanctions-45) According to former officials who worked on sanctions, HP used a loophole by routing their sales through a foreign subsidiary.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-Bloomberg.Iran-42) HP ended its relationship with Redington Gulf after the SEC inquiry.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-Bloomberg.Iran-42)

On September 3, 2001, HP announced that an agreement had been reached with [Compaq](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq "Compaq") to merge the two companies.[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-47) On May 3, 2002, after passing a shareholder vote, HP officially announced the merger with Compaq.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-48) The newly-merged company would officially launch five days later on May 7, 2002.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-49) Prior to this, plans had been in place to consolidate the companies' product teams and product lines.
As Compaq acquired [Tandem Computers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem_Computers "Tandem Computers") in 1997 and [Digital Equipment Corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Equipment_Corporation "Digital Equipment Corporation") (DEC) in 1998, HP gained control of both acquired companies' product lines, and offered support for the [Tandem NonStop family](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NonStop_\(server_computers\) "NonStop (server computers)") (now owned by Hewlett Packard Enterprise) and DEC products [PDP-11](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-11 "PDP-11"), [VAX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAX "VAX") and [Alpha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC_Alpha "DEC Alpha") for quite some time until the later years where support gradually dwindled. Both the DEC PDP-11 and VAX were discontinued years before the merger, and HP supported Alpha until April 2007.
The merger was preceded by a proxy fight in 2001 with numerous large HP shareholders, in particular Bill Hewlett's son Walter and other descendants of the business founders, objecting to the merger, only approving it reluctantly.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-50)[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:3-6) Prior to the merger, HP's [ticker symbol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticker_symbol "Ticker symbol") was "HWP", which became "HPQ" shortly after acquiring Compaq, and was subsequently announced on May 6, 2002.[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-51) The new ticker symbol is a combination of the two previous symbols, "**H**WP" and "C**PQ**" respectively, showing the significance of the alliance. HP then became a major producer in [desktop computers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_computer "Desktop computer"), laptops, and servers for many different markets in the coming years.
In 2002, [Mscape](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mscape "Mscape") was established as a [mobile media](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_media "Mobile media") [gaming platform](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_engine "Game engine") that could be used to create [location-based games](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Location-based_game "Location-based game").
HP would release new models of laptops under the [Pavilion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Pavilion "HP Pavilion") name during the early-to-mid 2000s, it being the [dv1000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Pavilion_dv1000_series "HP Pavilion dv1000 series") series (which includes the dv1040 and the later dv1658 models) in August 2004 and the dv4000 and dv8000 series in 2005.
In January 2005, following years of underperformance, which included HP's Compaq merger that fell short[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:0-52) and disappointing earning reports,[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-53) the board asked Fiorina to resign as chair and chief executive officer of the company, which she did on February 9, 2005.[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-54) After her departure, HP's stock jumped 6.9 percent.[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-55) Robert Wayman, chief financial officer of HP, served as interim CEO while the board undertook a formal search for a replacement.[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-56)

In 2006, HP unveiled several new products including desktops, enhanced notebooks, a workstation, and software to manage them—OpenView Client Configuration Manager 2.0.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-57) That same year, HP's share price skyrocketed due to consistent results in the last couple quarters of the year with Hurd's plan to cut back HP's workforce and lower costs.[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-58) HP was delisted from the Pacific Exchange (now closed with trades going through the [NYSE Arca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NYSE_Arca "NYSE Arca") platform) on May 1, 2006, but continues to trade on the New York Stock Exchange as well as [Nasdaq](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasdaq "Nasdaq").[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-59)
HP introduced a global marketing campaign for its line of personal computers in May 2006 under the tagline "The Computer is Personal Again", coinciding with the launch of its new line of consumer and business products that same month. The campaign aimed at bringing back the computer as a powerful personal tool, utilizing viral marketing and sophisticated visuals, and had its own website.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hppersonal2006-60) The ads featured [Pharrell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharrell "Pharrell"),[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-61) [Petra Nemcova](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petra_Nemcova "Petra Nemcova"), [Mark Burnett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Burnett "Mark Burnett"),[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hppersonal2006-60) [Mark Cuban](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Cuban "Mark Cuban"), [Alicia Keys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alicia_Keys "Alicia Keys"),[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-62) [Jay-Z](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay-Z "Jay-Z"),[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-63) [Gwen Stefani](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwen_Stefani "Gwen Stefani"), and [Shaun White](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_White "Shaun White").[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hppersonal2006-60) This campaign applied to HP's product offerings which included desktops, laptops, and other hardware and software.
HP introduced new laptop models for the HP Pavilion lineup in 2006, starting with the dv5000 series in January, the [dv2000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Pavilion_dv2000_series "HP Pavilion dv2000 series") series in May and later the [dv6000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Pavilion_dv6000_series "HP Pavilion dv6000 series") and [dv9000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Pavilion_dv9000_series "HP Pavilion dv9000 series") series in July.
In July 2007, HP signed a definitive agreement to acquire [Opsware](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opsware "Opsware") in a cash tender deal that values the company at \$14.25 per share, which combined Opsware software with the [Oracle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Corporation "Oracle Corporation") enterprise IT management software.[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-64)
In the first few years of Hurd's tenure as CEO, HP's stock price more than doubled. By the end of the 2007 fiscal year, HP reached the \$100 billion mark for the first time. The company's annual revenue reached \$104 billion, allowing HP to overtake competitor IBM.[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-65)
On May 13, 2008, HP and [Electronic Data Systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Data_Systems "Electronic Data Systems") (EDS) announced[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-66) that they had signed a definitive agreement under which HP would purchase EDS. On June 30, HP announced[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-67) that the waiting period under the [Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hart-Scott-Rodino_Antitrust_Improvements_Act "Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act") of 1976 had expired. "The transaction still requires EDS stockholder approval and regulatory clearance from the European Commission and other non-U.S. jurisdictions and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions specified in the merger agreement." The agreement was finalized on August 26, 2008, at \$13 billion, and it was publicly announced that EDS would be re-branded. The first targeted layoff of 24,600 former EDS workers was announced on September 15, 2008.[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-68) (The company's 2008 annual report gave the number as 24,700, to be completed by end of 2009.[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-69)) This round was factored into the purchase price as a \$19.5 billion liability against goodwill. As of September 23, 2009, EDS was known as HP Enterprise Services (now known as [DXC Technology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DXC_Technology "DXC Technology")).
On November 11, 2009, [3Com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3Com "3Com") and Hewlett-Packard announced that the latter would be acquiring 3Com for \$2.7 billion in cash.[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-70) The acquisition was one of the biggest in size among a series of takeovers and acquisitions by technology giants to push their way to become one-stop shops. Since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2007, tech giants have constantly felt the pressure to expand beyond their current market niches. [Dell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell "Dell") purchased [Perot Systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perot_Systems "Perot Systems") to move into the technology consulting business area previously dominated by [IBM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM "IBM"). Hewlett-Packard's latest move marked its diversification into enterprise networking gear market dominated by [Cisco](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco "Cisco").

On April 28, 2010, [Palm, Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm,_Inc. "Palm, Inc.") and HP announced that the latter would buy the former for \$1.2 billion in cash and debt.[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-71) Adding Palm handsets to the HP product line created some overlap with the [iPAQ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPAQ "IPAQ") series of mobile devices, but was thought to significantly improve HP's mobile presence as iPAQ devices had not been selling well. Buying Palm, Inc. gave HP a library of valuable patents and the mobile operating platform, [webOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebOS "WebOS"). On July 1, 2010, the acquisition of Palm, Inc. was finalized.[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-72) Purchasing its webOS was a big gamble to build HP's own ecosystem.[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-cliff-73) On July 1, 2011, HP launched its first tablet, [HP TouchPad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_TouchPad "HP TouchPad"), which brought webOS to tablet devices. On September 2, 2010, HP won the [bidding war](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bid_price "Bid price") for [3PAR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3PAR "3PAR") with a \$33 a share offer (\$2.07 billion) that Dell declined to match. After HP acquired Palm Inc., it phased out the Compaq brand.
On August 6, 2010, Hurd [resigned amid controversy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Hurd#Resignation "Mark Hurd") and CFO [Cathie Lesjak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathie_Lesjak "Cathie Lesjak") assumed the role of interim CEO. Hurd had turned HP around and was widely regarded as one of [Silicon Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley "Silicon Valley")'s star CEOs, and under his leadership, HP became the largest computer company in the world when measured by total revenue.[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-74) He was accused of [sexual harassment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_harassment "Sexual harassment") against a colleague, though the allegations were deemed baseless. The investigation led to questions concerning some of his expenses and the lack of disclosure related to the friendship.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-wjs1-75)[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-content.time.com-76) Some observers have argued that Hurd was innocent, but the board asked for his resignation to avoid [negative public relations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_PR "Black PR").[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-BI-hurd-77)
Public analysis was divided between those who saw it as a commendable tough action by HP and those who saw it as an ill-advised, hasty, and expensive reaction, that ousted a capable leader who had turned the business around.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-wjs1-75)[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-content.time.com-76)[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-78) At HP, Hurd oversaw a series of acquisitions worth over \$20 billion, which allowed the company to expand into services of networking equipment and smartphones.[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-79) HP shares dropped 8.4% in after-hours trading, hitting a 52-week low with a \$9 billion reduction in market capitalization.[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-80) [Larry Ellison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Ellison "Larry Ellison") publicly attacked HP's board for Hurd's ousting, stating that the HP board had "made the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs many years ago".[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-81)
On September 30, 2010, [Léo Apotheker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A9o_Apotheker "Léo Apotheker") was named HP's new CEO and president.[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-82) His appointment sparked a strong reaction from Ellison,[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-83) who complained that Apotheker had been in charge of [SAP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP "SAP") when one of its subsidiaries was systematically stealing software from Oracle. SAP accepted that its subsidiary, which has now closed, illegally accessed Oracle intellectual property.[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-84) Following Hurd's departure, HP was seen to be problematic by the market, with margins falling and them failing to establish themselves in major new markets such as cloud and mobile services.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\] Apotheker's strategy was to broadly aim at disposing hardware, whilst moving into the more profitable [software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software "Software") [services](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_service_provider "Business service provider") [sector](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_sector "Business sector"). On August 18, 2011, HP announced that it would strategically exit the [smartphone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone "Smartphone") and [tablet computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablet_computer "Tablet computer") business, and focus on higher-margin "strategic priorities of Cloud, solutions and software with an emphasis on enterprise, commercial and government markets".[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-85) It also contemplated selling off its personal computer division or spinning it off into a separate company,[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-86) and quitting PC development while continuing to sell servers and other equipment to business customers, which was a strategy undertaken by IBM in 2005.[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-87)
On November 1, 2010, the classic 1979 Hewlett-Packard logo was discontinued and replaced with a new circle HP logo, with a larger and thinner wormark, for corporate branding. The 2008 circle variant was continued to be used as the secondary logo. This also made the 1999 symbol-only variant was also discontinued on the same day. The last product to use this logo was the HP ProLiant DL380 G7.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-88)
HP's stock dropped by about a further 40% after the company abruptly announced a number of decisions: to discontinue its webOS device business (mobile phones and tablet computers), the intent to sell its [personal computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_computer "Personal computer") division (at the time HP was the largest personal computer manufacturer in the world), and to acquire British [big data](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_data "Big data") software firm [Autonomy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomy_Corporation "Autonomy Corporation") for a 79% [premium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_premium "Control premium"), seen externally as an "absurdly high" price[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-bloomberg29nov2012-89) for a business with known concerns over its accounts.[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-90) Media analysts described HP's actions as a "botched strategy shift" and a "chaotic" attempt to rapidly [reposition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnaround_management "Turnaround management") HP and enhance earnings.[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-bloomberg29nov2012-89)[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-telegraph19aug2011-91)[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-reuters3oct2011-92) HP's CFO objected to the Autonomy acquisition.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-telegraph25nov2012-93)[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hussainmotion11aug2014-94): 3–6
HP lost more than \$30 billion in market capitalization during Apotheker's tenure, and on September 22, 2011, the HP Board of Directors fired him as chief executive and replaced him with fellow board member and former [eBay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBay "EBay") chief [Meg Whitman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meg_Whitman "Meg Whitman"),[\[95\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-95) with [Raymond J. Lane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_J._Lane "Raymond J. Lane") as executive chairman. Although Apotheker served barely ten months, he received over \$13 million in compensation.[\[96\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-96) Weeks later, HP announced that a review had concluded their PC division was too integrated and critical to business operations, and the company reaffirmed their commitment to the Personal Systems Group.[\[97\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-97)
On March 21, 2012, HP said its printing and PC divisions would become one unit headed by Todd Bradley from the PC division, and printing chief Vyomesh Joshi left the company.[\[98\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-98)
On May 23, 2012, HP announced plans to lay off approximately 27,000 employees, after posting a profit decline of 31% in the second quarter of 2012.[\[99\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-99) Profits declined because of the growing popularity of smart phones, tablets, and other mobile devices, which slowed down personal computer sales.[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-100)
On May 30, 2012, HP unveiled its first [net zero](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_neutrality "Carbon neutrality") energy data center, which used solar energy and other renewable sources instead of traditional power grids.[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-101)
On July 10, 2012, HP's Server Monitoring Software was discovered to have a [previously unknown security vulnerability](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-day_attack "Zero-day attack").[\[102\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-102) A security warning was given to customers about two vulnerabilities, and a [patch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patch "Software patch") addressing the issues was released.[\[103\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-103) One month later, HP's official training center was hacked and defaced by a Pakistani hacker known as Hitcher to demonstrate a Web vulnerability.[\[104\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-104)
On September 10, 2012, HP revised their restructuring figures and started cutting 29,000 jobs.[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-105)
In November 2012, HP [wrote off](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write-off "Write-off") almost \$9 billion related to the Autonomy acquisition, which became the subject of intense litigation, as HP accused Autonomy's previous management of fraudulently exaggerating Autonomy's financial position and called in law enforcement and regulators in both countries. Autonomy's previous management accused HP of "textbook" [obfuscation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinformation "Disinformation") and [finger pointing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blame_shifting "Blame shifting") to protect HP's executives from criticism and conceal HP culpability, their prior knowledge of Autonomy's financial position, and gross mismanagement of Autonomy after acquisition.[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hussainmotion11aug2014-94): 6
On December 31, 2013, HP revised the number of jobs cut from 29,000 to 34,000 up to October 2014. The number of jobs cut until the end of 2013 was 24,600.[\[106\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-106)[\[107\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-107)[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-108) At the end of 2013 the company had 317,500 employees. On May 22, 2014, HP announced it would cut a further 11,000 to 16,000 jobs, in addition to the 34,000 announced in 2013. Whitman said: "We are gradually shaping HP into a more nimble, lower-cost, more customer and partner-centric company that can successfully compete across a rapidly changing IT landscape."[\[109\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-HPjobs-109)
During the June 2014 HP Discover customer event in [Las Vegas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas "Las Vegas"), Whitman and Martin Fink announced a project for a radically new computer architecture called [The Machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Machine_\(computer_architecture\) "The Machine (computer architecture)"). Based on [memristors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor "Memristor") and [silicon photonics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_photonics "Silicon photonics"), it was supposed to come into commercialization before the end of the decade, and represented 75% of the research activity in HP Labs at the time.[\[110\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-110)
On October 6, 2014, HP announced it was going to split into two separate companies to separate its personal computer and printer businesses from its technology services. The split, which was first reported by *[The Wall Street Journal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wall_Street_Journal "The Wall Street Journal")* and confirmed by other media, resulted in two publicly traded companies on November 1, 2015: [Hewlett Packard Enterprise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett_Packard_Enterprise "Hewlett Packard Enterprise") and [HP Inc.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Inc.

The company philosophy, known as [the HP Way](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_HP_Way "The HP Way"), included the directive "To honor our obligations to society by being an economic, intellectual and social asset to each nation and each community in which we operate." From the 1940s through the 1990s, the company was unusual for its dedication to improving neighboring communities. Many employees volunteered their personal time to various civic projects.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-HP-21) The workers embraced this role: morale at HP was phenomenally high from 1955 to 1965.

### Employee death in fall from airplane
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=18 "Edit section: Employee death in fall from airplane")\]
On December 14, 2000, Elisabeth M. Otto, an employee at HP, fell to her death from a commuter flight shortly after takeoff under suspicious circumstances.[\[161\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-161) The flight was a routine commute for HP employees, shuttling them from Roseville to Palo Alto, CA. No one reported the incident until after the plane had landed.[\[162\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-latimesplanefall-162)
Authorities concluded that Otto had most likely opened the door herself and jumped to her death from an altitude of about 2,000 feet. Her body was later found in a garden. It is believed that the reason why the incident was not immediately reported was due to confusion resulting from the shock of passengers and the loud noise from the open door. Apparently one of the other employees had struggled with Otto while trying to prevent her from jumping from the [de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Canada_DHC-6_Twin_Otter "De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter") but was unable to stop her.[\[162\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-latimesplanefall-162)
When the co-pilot came to close the open door, passengers apparently attempted to explain what had happened but this was not understood due to noise. An airplane mechanic reported the incident about 40 minutes after the flight had landed.[\[162\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-latimesplanefall-162)
In March 2003, HP restated its first-quarter cash flow from operations, reducing it by 18 percent because of an accounting error. The actual cash flow from operations was \$647 million, and not \$791 million as reported; HP shifted \$144 million to net cash used in investing activities.[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-163)
On September 5, 2006, Shawn Cabalfin and David O'Neil of *[Newsweek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsweek "Newsweek")* wrote that HP's [general counsel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_counsel "General counsel"), at the behest of chairwoman [Patricia Dunn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_C._Dunn "Patricia C. Dunn"), contracted a team of independent security experts to investigate board members and several journalists to identify the source of an information leak.[\[164\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-164) In turn, those security experts recruited private investigators who used [pretexting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretexting "Pretexting"),[\[165\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-165) which involved investigators [impersonating](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impersonator "Impersonator") HP board members and nine journalists (including reporters for [CNET](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNET "CNET"), *[The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times")* and *[The Wall Street Journal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wall_Street_Journal "The Wall Street Journal")*) in order to obtain their phone records. The information leaked related to HP's long-term strategy and was published as part of a [CNET](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNET "CNET") article[\[166\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-166) in January 2006. Most HP employees accused of criminal acts have since been acquitted.[\[167\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-167)
In November 2007, HP released a BIOS update covering a wide range of laptops with the intent to speed up the computer fan and have it run constantly while the computer was on or off[\[168\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-168) to prevent the overheating of defective [Nvidia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia "Nvidia") graphics processing units (GPUs) that had been shipped to many of the original equipment manufacturers, including HP, Dell, and Apple.[\[169\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-169) The defect concerned the new material used by Nvidia from 2007 onwards in joining the graphics chip onto the motherboard, which did not perform well under thermal cycling and was prone to develop stress cracks – effectively severing the connection between the GPU and the motherboard that led to a blank screen.[\[170\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-NVIDIA_2009_Business_Update-170)
In July 2008, HP issued an extension to the initial one-year warranty to replace the motherboards of selected models.[\[171\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-171) However, this option was not extended to all models with the defective Nvidia chipsets, despite research showing that these computers were also affected by the fault.[\[172\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-172) The replacement of the motherboard was a temporary fix, since the fault was inherent in all units of the affected models from the point of manufacture, including the replacement motherboards offered by HP.[\[173\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-173)[\[174\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-174)
Since then, several websites have been documenting the issue.[\[175\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-175) There have been several small-claims lawsuits filed in several states, as well as suits filed in other countries. HP also faced a class-action lawsuit in 2009 over its i7 processor computers: the complainants stated that their systems consistently froze within 30 minutes of powering on. Even after being replaced with newer i7 systems, the problem continued.[\[176\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-176)
### Lawsuit against Oracle
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=22 "Edit section: Lawsuit against Oracle")\]
HP filed a lawsuit in California Superior Court in Santa Clara, claiming that Oracle had breached an agreement to support the [Itanium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itanium "Itanium") microprocessor used in HP's high-end enterprise servers.[\[177\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-177) On June 15, 2011, HP sent a "formal legal demand" letter to Oracle in an attempt to force them to reverse its decision to discontinue software development on Intel Itanium microprocessors[\[178\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-178) and build its own servers.[\[179\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-businessinsider.com-179) HP won the lawsuit in 2012, which required Oracle to continue producing software compatible with the Itanium processor.[\[180\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-180) HP was awarded \$3 billion in damages against Oracle on June 30, 2016,[\[179\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-businessinsider.com-179)[\[181\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-181) arguing that Oracle canceling support damaged HP's Itanium server brand. Oracle said it would appeal both the decision and damages.
### HP wage and hour lawsuit
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=23 "Edit section: HP wage and hour lawsuit")\]
Several class action firms filed a class action lawsuit on January 12, 2012, against HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise ("HP"), entitled "Jeffrey Wall, etc. v. HP, Inc." (formerly known as Hewlett-Packard Company, et al.), Case No. 30-2012-00537897, pending in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange. According to the lawsuit, HP allegedly failed to pay commission payments and incentive compensation that its California sales employees were owed within the timeframes proscribed by California law (Labor Code §§ 201, 202 and 204).[\[182\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-182) In 2017, FDAzar obtained a settlement of \$25 million for class participants and changed the way HP pays incentive compensation and commission payments.[\[183\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-183)
### Takeover of Autonomy
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=24 "Edit section: Takeover of Autonomy")\]
In November 2012, HP recorded a write-down of around \$8.8 billion related to its acquisition a year earlier of the UK-based [Autonomy Corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomy_Corporation "Autonomy Corporation") [PLC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_limited_company "Public limited company"). At that time, HP had fired its previous CEO for expenses irregularities a year before, and appointed Apotheker. HP was seen as problematic by the market. Autonomy was acquired by HP in October 2011. HP paid \$10.3 billion for 87.3% of the shares, valuing Autonomy at around \$11.7 billion (£7.4 billion) overall, a [premium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_premium "Control premium") of 79% over market price. The deal was widely criticized as "absurdly high", a "botched strategy shift" and a "chaotic" attempt to [reposition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnaround_management "Turnaround management") HP and enhance earnings,[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-bloomberg29nov2012-89)[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-telegraph19aug2011-91)[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-reuters3oct2011-92) and was objected to by HP's own CFO.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-telegraph25nov2012-93)[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-hussainmotion11aug2014-94): 3–6 Within a year, Apotheker was fired, major [culture clashes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_conflict "Cultural conflict") became apparent, and HP wrote off \$8.8 billion of Autonomy's value.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-telegraph25nov2012-93)
The [Serious Fraud Office](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serious_Fraud_Office_\(United_Kingdom\) "Serious Fraud Office (United Kingdom)") (SFO) and the SEC joined the [FBI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation "Federal Bureau of Investigation") in investigating the potential anomalies. HP incurred damage with its stock falling to its lowest in decades.[\[184\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-rogers2012-184)[\[185\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-bbcstaff2012-185)[\[186\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-owens2012-186) Three lawsuits were brought by shareholders against HP for the fall in value of HP shares. In August 2014, a [United States district court](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_district_court "United States district court") judge threw out a proposed settlement, which Autonomy's previous management had argued would be [collusive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collusive_lawsuit "Collusive lawsuit") and intended to divert scrutiny of HP's own responsibility and knowledge. It essentially engaged the plaintiff's attorneys from the existing cases and redirected them against the previous Autonomy vendors and management for a fee of up to \$48 million, with plaintiffs agreeing to end any claims against HP's management and similarly redirect those claims against the previous Autonomy vendors and management.[\[187\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-187)[\[188\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-188) In January 2015 the SFO closed its investigation as the likelihood of a successful prosecution was low.[\[189\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-189) The dispute continued in the US, and is being investigated by the UK and Ireland [Financial Reporting Council](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Reporting_Council "Financial Reporting Council"). On June 9, 2015, HP agreed to pay \$100 million to investors who bought HP shares between August 19, 2011 and November 20, 2012, to settle the lawsuits over the Autonomy purchase.[\[190\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-190)
Another term of the shareholder settlement was to sue Autonomy management, which occurred in London in 2019. HP "failed to produce a smoking gun for the fraud it alleges",[\[191\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:1-191) and its accountants admitted that they "never formally prepared anything to attribute the irregularities to the amount of the fraud".[\[191\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:1-191)
In June 2024, a jury acquitted Autonomy founder Mike Lynch and co-defendant Steve Chamberlain. Steve Chamberlain was hit by a car while jogging on August 17, 2024.[\[192\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-192) Mike Lynch, along with his 18 year old daughter, drowned after their yacht sank on August 20, 2024 (the accident killed a total of seven people).[\[193\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-193)
In July 2025, a judge at London's High Court ruled that HP is owed more than 700 million pounds (\$944 million), in respect of the acquisition of Autonomy.[\[194\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-194)
### Israeli settlements
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hewlett-Packard&action=edit§ion=25 "Edit section: Israeli settlements")\]
Hewlett-Packard supplies a range of technology solutions and hardware infrastructure to various Israeli institutions, including the [military](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Defense_Forces "Israel Defense Forces"), government agencies, and law enforcement bodies.[\[195\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:2-195) Among its notable clients is the Israeli Immigration and Population Authority, to which the company provides dedicated technological support and equipment.[\[195\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-:2-195)
On October 25, 2012, [Richard Falk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Falk "Richard Falk"), the [United Nations Human Rights Council](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Human_Rights_Council "United Nations Human Rights Council")'s Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the [Palestinian territories](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_territories "Palestinian territories") occupied since 1967, called to boycott HP and other businesses that profit from [Israeli settlements](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_settlement "Israeli settlement") on occupied Palestinian lands until they brought their operations in line with international human rights and humanitarian law.[\[196\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-196)[\[197\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-197) In 2014, the [Presbyterian Church (USA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyterian_Church_\(USA\) "Presbyterian Church (USA)") voted to move forward with divestment from HP to pressure Israel in regard to their policies toward Palestinians.[\[198\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-198) In 2015, the Human Rights Commission of [Portland, Oregon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland,_Oregon "Portland, Oregon"), requested to place [Caterpillar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caterpillar_Inc "Caterpillar Inc"), [G4S](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G4S "G4S"), HP, and [Motorola Solutions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Solutions "Motorola Solutions") on the city's "Do Not Buy" list.[\[199\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-199)
On April 9, 2014, an administrative proceeding before the SEC was settled by HP consenting to an order acknowledging that HP had violated the [Foreign Corrupt Practices Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Corrupt_Practices_Act "Foreign Corrupt Practices Act") (FCPA) when HP subsidiaries in Russia, Poland, and Mexico made improper payments to government officials to obtain or retain lucrative public contracts.[\[200\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-bort-200)
The SEC's order found that HP's subsidiary in Russia paid more than \$2 million through agents and various shell companies to a Russian government official to retain a multimillion-dollar contract with the federal prosecutor's office; in Poland, HP's subsidiary provided gifts and cash bribes worth more than \$600,000 to a Polish government official to obtain contracts with the national police agency; and to win a software sale to Mexico's state-owned petroleum company, HP's subsidiary in Mexico paid more than \$1 million in inflated commissions to a consultant with close ties to company officials, one of whom was funneled money. HP agreed to pay \$108 million to settle the SEC charges and a parallel criminal case.[\[201\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-201)[\[200\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-bort-200)[\[202\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard#cite_note-202)

"Apotheker believed that HP's platform was sinking ... \[and\] appeared to be in a hurry to transform the company ... In a rapid series of moves announced in August 2011, Apotheker killed HP's six-week-old TouchPad tablet, explored plans for a spin-out of its PC business, and championed the \$10.3 billion acquisition of Autonomy. One former HP executive who worked there at the time says it appeared that Apotheker and the board didn't know what to do, and were trying anything they could think of. It wasn't a strategy, he says. It was chaos ... Oracle CEO Larry Ellison called Autonomy's asking price 'absurdly high'."
