5 Companies That Had A Rough Week

Topping this week’s roundup of companies and others that had a rough week is #Arista Networks, which lost the latest round in its patent legal battle with #Cisco.

Also making the list were #MobileIron and #ArrowElectronics, which terminated with little explanation their highly touted distribution agreement after just four months; #HP, for having to recall thousands of notebook batteries because of a fire hazard; privacy advocates, for a judge’s ruling in an FBI computer search and data seizure case; and #Microsoft, whose Surface Book laptop might not be selling so well.

Not everyone in the IT industry was having a rough go of it this week. For a rundown of companies that made smart decisions, executed savvy strategic moves — or just had good luck — check out this week’s Five Companies That Came To Win roundup.
