SecurityProfiling, LLC has filed suit against a defendant other than Cisco, Intel (McAfee), or Trend Micro for the first time, accusing Forcepoint (6:23-cv-00014) of infringing eight anti-malware patents through the provision of computer security software products, including its Forcepoint ONE (with Forcepoint Next-Gen Firewall). Trend Micro was first sued back in September 2016, Western District of Texas Magistrate Judge Derek T. Gilliland recommending a dismissal with prejudice on January 17, 2023 after the parties announced a settlement of the latest suit between them. The other recent case, first filed against Cisco in April 2021, ended in a dismissal with prejudice in light of a settlement this past July. Neither of the cases that have ended in the past six or so months progressed much beyond the pleadings stage; the earliest litigation against Trend Micro did, however.
