Texas-based NPE Consolidated Work Station Computing, LLC (CWSC) has added Juniper Networks (1:16-cv-01495) to its enterprise networking campaign, accusing the company of infringing a single patent (6,823,475) generally related to a computer motherboard with multiple, redundant power supplies. This is CWSC’s first filing of the year in what remains its sole litigation campaign, which began in 2010 but became much more active in 2015. The ‘475 patent has been the only one asserted in every case brought by the NPE to date. Prior to this lawsuit, CWSC had exclusively targeted server hardware, but here the accused products are several types of enterprise-grade Ethernet switches.

Texas-based NPE Consolidated Work Station Computing, LLC (CWSC) has filed two lawsuits in a single week, suing Haivision (1:15-cv-08936) and Check Point Software Technologies (1:15-cv-09140) for infringement of a single patent (6,823,475). CWSC has now filed six suits in 2015 alone, and these two new filings continue its escalation of a campaign that began in 2010 but has become much more active this year. The ‘475 patent relates to a computer motherboard with multiple redundant power supplies, and it has been the sole patent-in-suit for every case in the campaign. Like CWSC’s previous suits, the accused products are both types of server hardware.
