On Monday, one of the largest companies in the network infrastructure field, Infoblox, sued one of its smaller competitors, Bluecat Networks .for infringing its "Domain Name Service Server" patent. Evidently, Bluecat has been competing with Infoblox in the IP address management system field in a way that Infoblox found threatening. Infoblox was ready and wasted no time in bringing this suit -- the patent was only issued in October.

This is stupid and from old time!!!
There is nothing innovative in Infoblox or in BlueCat solution.
I hope one thing: Infoblox will be rejected and humiliated.
Infoblox is an overpriced piece of bloatware.
The cat screameth.
LOL!
Infoblox has enough cash to acquire the company. I think they will take the money by the trial first and then buy bluecat.
now it looks like Infoblox opened pandoras box:

Poor Infoblox, looks like things are getting desperate... Rounds and rounds of funding from VCs and now trying their hand at a few dirty tricks. Just hate to see patent battles on things that aren't that innovative!
At the end of the day, their product simply isn't as good and one needs to wonder if the funding tap will stay on forever.
