Fortinet's investor analysis materials mention they gain over 220 patents from the Lacework deal, but I'm not sure what those are worth to them, they'd have to be willing to litigate and enforce those patents for them to have value, IMO.
So it's more of a, "So you know..." warning? Chasing down patent infringements is usually a waste of time, but maybe the threat of infringement is enough.

Fortinet is good at buying such stuff from the garage sale
