Cisco to Pay $1.89 Billion After Judge Finds The Company Infringed Patents of Centripetal

Cisco Systems was ordered to pay $1.89 billion after a judge ruled that the networking giant infringed four patents belonging to cybersecurity company Centripetal Networks, which focuses on active defense technologies. Centripetal argued that after the two companies held meetings to discuss a partnership, Cisco infringed its patents relating to its Threat Intelligence Gateway network protection system under Title 35 of the United States Code. U.S. District Court Judge Henry Morgan agreed with Centripetal writing that the fact that Cisco released products with Centripetal’s functionality within a year of these meetings goes beyond mere coincidence.
