AMOD initiates patent litigation against Cisco, seeking damages for FCoE technology infringement, following similar action against Broadcom.
Alpha Modus Ventures (AMV) has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Cisco Systems in the Western District of Texas, following a similar recent action against Broadcom. The litigation centers on three specific patents (Nos. 11,108,591, 11,310,077, and 11,303,473) related to Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) technology that enables efficient transport of Fibre Channel traffic over Ethernet networks.
The complaint specifically targets Cisco's networking and data center products, including its Unified Computing System and Converged Network Adapters. This represents a strategic escalation in AMV's intellectual property enforcement campaign, now targeting two major players in the networking industry. The company is seeking
This lawsuit appears to be part of a deliberate IP monetization strategy, evidenced by the recent patent monetization and funding agreement between AMV and Alpha Modus Holdings (NASDAQ: AMOD). The timing of these lawsuits—Broadcom in April and now Cisco in June—suggests a coordinated approach to asserting these patents against major industry players who may be implementing similar technologies.
The Western District of Texas venue selection is notable, as this jurisdiction has historically been considered favorable to patent holders, with judges experienced in complex technology cases and typically faster time-to-trial schedules. This venue choice maximizes pressure on defendants and potentially accelerates settlement discussions.
CORNELIUS, N.C., June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Modus Ventures, LLC (“AMV”), the entity that recently filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Broadcom Inc. on April 22, 2025, and engaged a patent monetization and funding agreement with Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMOD), today announced that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO) in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division on June 9, 2025. The case alleges that Cisco has infringed three patents owned by AMV related to its breakthrough Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) technology.
The complaint asserts that certain of Cisco’s networking and data center products, including at least its Unified Computing System and Converged Network Adapters (CNAs), infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 11,108,591, 11,310,077, and 11,303,473, which are directed to methods and systems enabling efficient transport of Fibre Channel traffic over Ethernet networks.
AMV is seeking monetary damages for Cisco’s past use of the patented technology, alleging that Cisco’s unauthorized use of this innovation resulted in significant commercial benefit at the expense of AMV’s proprietary rights.
Alpha Modus CEO William Alessi stated, “This lawsuit represents our unwavering commitment to protecting the intellectual property rights that form the foundation of technological leadership that AMOD holds interest in. We believe our shareholders deserve recognition and compensation for the unauthorized use of these innovations.”
The case is styled Alpha Modus Ventures, LLC v. Cisco Systems, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:25-cv-00888, in the Western District of Texas.
