Net2Phone, Inc., the leading provider of Voice over IP (VoIP) services,
and ADIR Technologies, Inc., a provider of VoIP enabling software solutions,
today announced that they have jointly filed a complaint against Cisco
Systems, Inc. The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey, seeks both compensatory and punitive damages and
includes the following claims: - Misappropriation of trade secrets - Fraud -
Unfair competition - Breach of contract - Breach of fiduciary duties.
According to the complaint, Net2Phone created ADIR and Cisco entered into
a strategic alliance agreement with ADIR under which they would jointly
develop "a product that would make ADIR's voice-over software compatible with
Cisco's hardware products, and ultimately produce a highly marketable system
for internet voice-over communication." The complaint further alleges that
"Cisco had seriously misrepresented the basis on which the entire Net2Phone-
ADIR-Cisco relationship was founded."
