The Canadian telecom technology firm claimed that Arbinet is infringing copyrights and misappropriating trade secrets by using Nortel's proprietary software without authorization.

"In addition, Nortel Networks claims that Arbinet has exceeded the permitted usage level under its right to use license and has failed to meet its contractual obligations . . . with regard to the purchase of certain switching systems," Nortel said.
