=== Spherix patent suit ===
In March 2014, Cisco Systems was sued for patent infringement. Spherix says that over $43 billion of Cisco's sales infringe on old [[Nortel]] patents owned by Spherix. Officials with Spherix are saying that a wide range of Cisco products, from switches to routers, infringe on 11 former Nortel patents that the company now owns.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cisco Sued for Infringement of Old Nortel Patents|url=http://www.eweek.com/blogs/first-read/cisco-sued-for-infringement-of-old-nortel-patents.html#sthash.4O5UyJEi.dpuf|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140625111734/http://www.eweek.com/blogs/first-read/cisco-sued-for-infringement-of-old-nortel-patents.html#sthash.4O5UyJEi.dpuf|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 25, 2014|publisher=eweek|date=March 27, 2014|author=Jeffrey Burt}}</ref>
