Parity Networks, LLC v. Mellanox Technologies, Inc. DC

Parity Networks LLC has doubled the number of active suits in the campaign that it began back in November 2016, adding Central District of California cases against EdgeCore (8:20-cv-00699), Moxa (8:20-cv-00698), and Unizyx (ZyXEL) (8:20-cv-00697). Those suits join ongoing litigation in cases brought earlier this year against Aviat Networks (6:20-cv-00057), D-Link (6:20-cv-00093), and Mellanox Technologies (6:20-cv-00051) in the Western District of Texas. The asserted patents, asserted in overlapping sets, broadly concern various aspects of network traffic management, with infringement allegations aimed at the defendants’ switch products.

Parity Networks LLC has filed suit against Dell (EMC) (6:19-cv-00550) in the Western District of Texas over the provision of certain networking hardware and software, including the Dell EMC PowerSwitch series network switches and the “Dell EMC Networking OS10” network hardware operating system. This new suit in a campaign that began with late 2016 cases filed against Nokia (Alcatel-Lucent) and Juniper Networks follows by several days the dismissal with prejudice of a case against Palo Alto Networks. The four patents-in-suit, as well as over a dozen asserted throughout the campaign, generally relate to various aspects of network traffic management.
