About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Exelixis Announces Update on Patent Litigation with MSN Laboratories

Exelixis, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXEL) today announced that in the lawsuit Exelixis, Inc. (Exelixis) v. MSN Laboratories Private Limited et al. (MSN), Action No. 19-2017 (Consolidated), the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware ruled in Exelixis’ favor, rejecting MSN’s challenge to the cabozantinib compound patent (U.S. 7,579,473). The District Court’s decision follows an earlier Stipulation and Order of October 1, 2021, that MSN’s proposed generic cabozantinib product (Abbreviated New Drug Application [ANDA] No. 213878) infringes the ’473 patent.

Additionally, the District Court ruled that MSN’s proposed ANDA product does not infringe Exelixis’ N-2 polymorph patent (U.S. 8,877,776), which expires on October 8, 2030. The District Court’s decision does not address the validity of the ’776 patent, which was not contested by MSN.

“We are pleased the court upheld the validity of Exelixis’ cabozantinib compound patent,” said Jeffrey Hessekiel, J.D., Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, Exelixis. “While we are disappointed with the court’s decision concerning infringement of the ’776 patent, we remain confident in the strength of the cabozantinib patent estate. We will continue to vigorously defend our intellectual property, safeguarding the scientific innovation that drives Exelixis’ ability to continue to discover, develop and ultimately bring new medicines to patients with difficult-to-treat cancers.”

As a result of the ruling, Exelixis intends to request that the District Court order that the effective date of any potential U.S. regulatory approval of MSN’s generic product, subject to any appeals or challenges, would be no earlier than August 14, 2026, which is the expiration date of Exelixis’ ‘473 patent.

This ruling does not impact Exelixis’ separate and ongoing suit against MSN, Exelixis, Inc. vs. MSN Laboratories Private Limited et al., Civil Action No. 22-00228 (Consolidated) (MSN II), concerning four different Orange Book-listed patents related to cabozantinib, including U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439 (crystalline salt forms); 11,091,440 (pharmaceutical compositions); 11,098,015 (methods of treatment); and 11,298,349 (pharmaceutical composition). MSN has already stipulated to infringement of the ’439, ’440, and ’015 patents, which expire on January 15, 2030. The remaining ’349 patent expires on February 10, 2032. Trial in MSN II is scheduled to begin in October 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
