In a pretty major ruling today the court has found Apple to have "grossly misrepresented " it's ability to workaround VirnetX infringed IP. The judge further says Apple is now choosing to willfully infringe the IP since the original finding. .As such the judge just increased the on-going royalty award, and by quite a lot.

The huge disparity between [Apple's] position at trial and [its] position post-judgment also warrants increasing the implied royalty rate. In light of the changed circumstances, the reasonable royalty rate should be increased by 25%. . . . [Apple's] ongoing willful infringement must also be considered. . . . While [defendant] contends it is not a willful infringer because it has a good faith belief that the patents-in-suit are invalid and that it does not infringe, the jury’s verdict and this Court’s judgment do not support [Apple's] belief. . . .While [it] has taken steps to implement non-infringing alternatives, [defendant] has not ceased all infringement. Considering four factors favor enhancing the implied royalty rate, the ongoing royalty rate is increased 50% to 0.98%."[/I]

Apple needs to get this judge for their next run-in with Samsung.
I feel very sorry for Apple, why should should be expected to pay up over a valid patent when they are on the verge of bankruptcy with barely enough cash in the bank to buy a small country like Luxembourg.

Thanks for digging this thing out from the grave. It's 6 months ago, for god's sake.

Sorry about that, I didn't notice. Not sure how it happened. I must have clicked a reference link in an article and forgot where I was.
