In a Northern District of California complaint, InfoExpress, Inc. has accused Cisco (3:23-cv-02698) of infringing six patents, generally related to controlling network access, through the provision of “hardware and software (including licenses)”, including Cisco’s Identity Services Engine (ISE), as access points, Secure Network Servers (SNS), and routers that implement the ISE. The plaintiff has certified that no nonparties have an interest, financial or otherwise, in the outcome of the litigation, even though other public filings suggest that InfoExpress entered into a “Funding Agreement” with a prominent provider of litigation finance this past February.
