Riverbed Technology Responds to Silver Peak Counterclaims

Riverbed Technology RVBD today announced that it has reviewed the counterclaims of patent infringement made by Silver Peak Systems in Riverbed's patent infringement lawsuit against Silver Peak, which was filed by Riverbed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. "Silver Peak's counterclaims are without merit and are an expected reaction to the lawsuit that we initiated against them in June,” said Brett Nissenberg, Riverbed's general counsel and senior vice president. “Riverbed has the dominant patents in this space. We intend to vigorously protect our intellectual property, and will let the litigation take its course."
