Orckit Corporation

Orckit Corporation has expanded its sole litigation campaign, launched last July with a suit against Cisco Systems, with a pair of complaints against Arista Networks (1:23-cv-00821) and Juniper Networks (1:23-cv-00822) in the District of Delaware. The plaintiff asserts three wireless networking patents, each originating with Orckit-Corrigent (f/k/a Corrigent). The defendants are accused of infringement through the provision of certain networking hardware (e.g., routers and switches) and related software products.

In late July, Orckit Corporation filed its first litigation, suing Cisco Systems (2:22-cv-00276) in the Eastern District of Texas. The four asserted patents, each originating with Orckit-Corrigent (f/k/a Corrigent), are broadly directed to wireless networking. Cisco is accused of infringement through the provision of networking hardware products, including certain routers and switches, as well as related software products. Public records tie the new plaintiff to one of several NPEs litigating former Orckit-Corrigent patents—specifically, one with active cases against each of Arista Networks, Cisco, and Dell.
