Inventor-controlled Swarm Technology, LLC has added a case against HP Enterprise (HPE) (4:24-cv-04927) in the Southern District of Texas. The asserted patents are broadly directed to parallel processing, with HPE accused of infringement through the provision of the HPE GreenLake platform, HPE Aruba Networking Central solution (as allegedly integrated into GreenLake), and related networking devices (e.g., access points and switches). At issue are features related to network operations and management.

Months after Juniper Networks filed a Northern District of California complaint against inventor-controlled Swarm Technology, LLC, seeking a declaratory judgment that it does not infringe three patents, Swarm has affirmatively accused Amazon (2:21-cv-00438) of infringing two of those patents. Swarm accuses Amazon of infringing those patents—generally pertaining to using dividing a “task pool” and completing them in separate components with two processors—via managing an IoT system, its AWS IoT platform, with “device shadows”.

Juniper Networks has filed a Northern District of California complaint (5:20-cv-03137) seeking declaratory judgments of noninfringement of three patents that inventor-controlled Swarm Technology, LLC has allegedly charted against Juniper’s Zero-Touch Provision networking products. Juniper pleads that Swarm reached out to Juniper in July 2019, highlighting a “licensing opportunity” with an explicit statement that “it was not an accusation of infringement”.
