[1] Finjan has filed a large number of lawsuits against leading software security companies asserting its patents including against: Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Symantec, Blue Coat Systems, Sophos, Trend Micro, ESET, Bitdefender, Check Point, Qualys, Rapid7, Fortinet and others.
[7] In 1998 Touboul decided to bring in an experienced seasoned CEO, who would be able to develop and grow the company more quickly, he then left to start his own venture capital fund.
[7] In December 2002 Finjan acquired[10] the assets of Alchemedia, a software developer with a DRM product called Clever Content, and several DRM patents; Alchemedia also had ties to Israel, as its founder Daniel Schreiber was Israeli, though the company was technically headquartered in the Dallas area.
In 2005, following disagreements with the board[citation needed], Touboul left again and started a new company Yoggie Security Systems.
In the same case, Finjan provided sworn testimony that it had put Juniper on notice of infringing its patent in a phone call.
During trial, in front of the jury, when it was discovered that this phone call was (legally) recorded, Finjan's witness admitted that this sworn testimony was untrue.
Remarkably, Finjan's witness further admitted on cross-examination at trial that, if it weren't for the recording, he would still be testifying that proper notice of infringement was given.
In April 2009, Finjan's intellectual property portfolio included granted and pending patents in the areas of behavior-based security and digital rights management.
[13] Finjan's portfolio includes processes that enable networks to execute security plans that counteract the effects of polymorphic code designed to hide malware.
