Alpha Modus files patent infringement lawsuit against Cisco

CORNELIUS, N.C. - Alpha Modus Ventures, LLC (AMV) has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, according to a press release statement. The lawsuit comes as Alpha Modus Holdings (NASDAQ:AMOD) shows strong recent momentum, with shares gaining over 12% in the past week, though still trading 89% below their 52-week high of $13.49.

The lawsuit, filed Monday, alleges that Cisco infringed on three patents owned by AMV related to Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) technology. The complaint specifically targets Cisco’s networking and data center products, including its Unified Computing System and Converged Network Adapters.

The patents in question are U.S. Patent Nos. 11,108,591, 11,310,077, and 11,303,473, which cover methods and systems for transporting Fibre Channel traffic over Ethernet networks.

AMV is seeking monetary damages for Cisco’s past use of the patented technology, claiming that unauthorized use resulted in commercial benefit at Cisco’s expense.

This legal action follows AMV’s previous patent infringement lawsuit against Broadcom Inc. filed on April 22, 2025. AMV has a patent monetization and funding agreement with Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMOD).

The case has been filed as Alpha Modus Ventures, LLC v. Cisco Systems, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:25-cv-00888, in the Western District of Texas.
