Multiven's complaint alleges that Cisco harmed Multiven and consumers by bundling and [[Tying (commerce)|tying]] [[Software bug|bug]] fixes/[[Patch (computing)|patches]] and updates for its [[operating system]] software to its maintenance services (SMARTnet). In May 2010, Cisco accused the person who filed the [[antitrust]] suit, British-Nigerian technology entrepreneur [[Peter Alfred-Adekeye]], with hacking and pressured the US government to extradite him from Canada. Cisco settled the antitrust lawsuit two months after Alfred-Adekeye's arrest by making its software updates available to all Multiven customers.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://multiven.com/#/advocacy/07192010|title=After weeks of deliberation, Cisco settles Multiven v.
