Dec 19, 2016 : Cisco Loses in Federal Court to Arista
📅 - Arista Networks has been in a long legal battle with Cisco Systems and caught a big break recently. Cisco's demand for $335 million in damages was denied by a Northern California federal court. The court ruled that Arista Networks didn't infringe on a Cisco patent or copyright.
This decision goes against the ruling from a week ago made by the International Trade Commission. The ruling stated that Arista has violated two Cisco patents after they had already violated three other patents. For a short time, Arista was even banned from importing their products into the United States.
