Delaware-based NPE Authpoint LLC has filed its first litigation, suing HP Enterprise (HPE) (2:24-cv-00632) and its subsidiary Aruba Networks (2:24-cv-00633) in the Eastern District of Texas and Ping Identity (1:24-cv-02152) in the District of Colorado. The HPE defendants are accused of infringing a single patent broadly directed to “forwarding a stream of multicast messages through a network” through the provision of the MIM-IMA-8E1 module as implemented in certain A-MSR series routers. Ping Identity, meanwhile, is accused of infringing another patent—generally related to a client authenticating itself to a second network from a first network—through the provision of the PingID authentication service.
