The headline is a little misleading. According to Cisco (specifically, their General Counsel): "If infringement is found, Arista, despite their efforts to delay the ITC process, may be just a few months from an exclusion order banning a majority (or all) of their products entering the United States." That's a (debatable) claim, not a fact, and -- for someone who works with gear from both of these vendors -- had me going "Huh!? What!?" and hurriedly clicking the link to get to the article to find out what was going on. Regardless, I think this will be an important case. I don't know if Lotus v. Borland (as mentioned by kazinator) counts as precedent (though, I hope it does) but the decision will definitely affect future products and services.
