Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

This Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Broadvision, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the Issuer’s principal executive office is 460 Seaport Ct., Suite 102, Redwood City, CA 94063. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable. The Reporting Persons (defined below) originally filed a Schedule 13G as required by Rule 13d-1(c). This Schedule 13D is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1(e) because the Reporting Persons has acquired over 20 percent of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock, and as a result, the Reporting Persons were no longer eligible to report their beneficial ownership on Schedule 13G and have transitioned to Schedule 13D.

Item 2.

Identity and Background.

(a)-(c) This Schedule 13D is being filed by the following persons:

(i)

ESW Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; and

(ii)

Joseph A. Liemandt, a natural person and citizen of the United States.

ESW Capital, LLC and Mr. Liemandt are sometimes individually referred to herein as a “Reporting Person” and collectively as the “Reporting Persons”.

ESW Capital, LLC is a private investment fund that is principally engaged in the business of investing in securities. Mr. Liemandt is the sole voting member of ESW Capital, LLC. The business address and principal executive offices of the each of the Reporting Persons are 401 Congress Avenue, Suite 2650, Austin, Texas 78701.

The shares of Common Stock to which this Schedule 13D relates are owned directly by ESW Capital, LLC.

(d)-(e) During the last five years, none of the persons identified in this Item 2 has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or has been a party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f) ESW Capital, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company. Mr. Liemandt is a United States citizen.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by ESW Capital, LLC and Mr. Liemandt were acquired through purchases of shares, using working capital of ESW Capital, LLC.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

On June 19, 2019, the Reporting Persons sent an email to Dr. Pehong Chen, the CEO of the Issuer in his capacity as a stockholder of the Issuer with a request that he partner with the Reporting Persons to pursue an offer to take the Issuer private on draft proposed terms. On June 20, 2019, Dr. Chen rejected the proposal and made a counter proposal that the Reporting Persons immediately rejected. During the limited discussions, the Reporting Persons became aware that the Board of Directors of the Issuer had a special committee of directors in place that was aware of the discussions with Dr. Chen. The Reporting Persons, however, did not engage in any direct negotiations with the Issuer relating to a potential transaction and did not send a proposal to the Issuer. On August 12, 2019, a member of the special committee of directors of the Issuer contacted the Reporting Persons and inquired whether the Reporting Persons might be willing to pursue a transaction on different terms than proposed by Dr. Chen. The Reporting Persons communicated that there was no interest in discussing a potential transaction under such proposed terms and there have been no further discussions with the special committee or other representatives of the Issuer or Dr. Chen since such date. The Reporting Persons have not made any preparations or determinations to continue any further conversations with Dr. Chen or with the Issuer, nor to effect any change or influence of control of the Issuer.

Except as otherwise described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes in the ordinary course of their business of investing in securities for their own accounts or for one or more accounts over which the Reporting Persons have investment or voting power. On September 18, 2019, the Reporting Persons purchased additional shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, resulting in an aggregate holding of over 20 percent of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer from time to time on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer’s stock in particular, as well as other developments.

While no Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein, each of the Reporting Persons may consider the feasibility and advisability of various alternative courses of action with respect to its investment in the Issuer, including, without limitation: the formation of a partnership with the founder and largest stockholder of the Issuer to seek to acquire the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock that is not owned by the partnership for cash or an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries.

The Reporting Persons reserve the right, based on all relevant factors and subject to applicable law or other restrictions, at any time and from time to time, to acquire additional shares of Common Stock, dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock, in each case in open market or private transactions, block sales or otherwise, and review or reconsider their position, change their purpose, take other actions or formulate and implement plans or proposals with respect to any of the foregoing. No contract, arrangement, relationship or understanding (either oral or written) exists among the Reporting Persons as to the acquisition, disposition, voting or holding of shares of Common Stock.
