Former operating company Capella Photonics filed its first suits against defendants Ciena, Cisco, Fujitsu, and Tellabs. Each case asserts two patents related to fiber optics (RE42,368, RE42,678). The defendants’ optical switches are accused of infringement. Founded in 2000, Capella was a provider of wavelength switch devices. The ‘368 patent was reviewed as an open market opportunity by RPX in 2012. 2/12, Southern District of Florida, 1:14cv20529, 1:14cv20530, 1:14cv20531, 0:14cv60350
