Radware Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against F5 Networks
MAHWAH, NJ, July 20, 2004 —Radware (NASDAQ; RDWR) the leading provider of Intelligent Application Switching (IAS) solutions ensuring the availability, performance and security of networked applications across the enterprise, announced today that it has filed suit in the U.S. District Court of New Jersey against F5 Networks, Inc (NASDAQ: FFIV) for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,718,359.
The ’359 patent, awarded to Radware in April this year, is directed to methods for determining network proximity and its use in load balancing decisions - - technology which is incorporated in Radware’s flagship product- WSD®.
In the Complaint, Radware asserts that the manufacture, use and sale of F5’s 3-DNS® product and Big-IP® product infringe the ‘359 patent and seeks monetary damages as well as permanent injunctive relief.
“Since inception, Radware has been focused on investment in R&D and has continued to demonstrate its leadership and innovation in the Application Switching space,” said Roy Zisapel, President and CEO, Radware. “Unfortunately, we learned that in order to protect our intellectual property and our investment in R&D we must, in certain cases, resort to legal action.”
