This post details Cloudflare's successful legal defense against patent troll Sable IP and Sable Networks. It highlights the trial victory where Cloudflare proved non-infringement of claim 25 of U.S. Patent No. 7,012,919 by explaining that their products (Magic Transit and Argo for Packets) handle packets individually, not 'flows' or 'micro-flows,' and do not use 'line cards' as required by the patent. Additionally, Cloudflare successfully argued that the patent claim is invalid due to obviousness in light of prior art references (Kodialam and Cheeseman). The post also emphasizes the continuation and final awards for Project Jengo, Cloudflare's prior art contest aimed at invalidating patent troll patents.
