Computer security companies Secure Computing Corp. and Finjan Software, Ltd. are hurling lawsuits at each other over a patent dispute.According to Finjan, the lawsuits relate to systems and methods used to protect computers and networks from hostile downloads and malicious code.
Secure Computing, an enterprise gateway security company, seemingly struck the first blow on Wednesday, filing a patent infringement and unfair competition lawsuit against Finjan, a Web security company, in the U.S. District Court in Minnesota. On Thursday, Finjan filed its own patent infringement lawsuit against Secure Computing and its subsidiaries, CyberGuard and WebWasher in U.S, District Court in Delaware.
In response to Finjan's move, Secure Computing, which claims it holds 80 patents worldwide, also filed patent infringement counterclaims against Finjan in Delaware.
