FireNet Technologies patent challenged as likely invalid
On March 13, 2020, Unified filed a petition for inter partes review (IPR) against U.S. Patent 8,892,600, owned and asserted by FireNet Technologies, LLC, an IP Investments affiliate and well-known NPE. The ’600 patent, generally directed to a proxy firewall system for protecting devices within a network, has been asserted in 5 district court cases against such companies as Kemp Technologies, Fortinet, and Citrix.
