notable
The Hamburg LD (Klepsch/Schilling/Agergaard/Keller) dismissed both the infringement action and the counterclaim for revocation. The patent (EP 2 201 740 B1, fast packet processing via DMA-based parallel header writing) was held valid over 6 prior art documents, all lacking the patented pre-positioned DMA architecture. Infringement denied because Cisco's Catalyst 9x00 switches do not implement a DMA device — the Ingress FIFO is a simple data pipeline lacking control logic (programmable registers/channels), and the IFC parser performs sequential extraction. Costs split 40/60.
