Barracuda countersues Trend Micro

Barracuda Networks has announced the filing of a software patent countersuit against Trend Micro, using three freshly-acquired patents. "'The reality is that Trend Micro is asking Barracuda Networks to pay for the use of the free and open source ClamAV software,' said Dean Drako, president and CEO of Barracuda Networks. 'We have asserted all along that Trend Micro's actions are unjust and could have serious implications against the open source community and other free and open source projects.'"
