US Supreme Court upholds VirnetX's $439M patent win over Apple
If I understand correctly they technically have 1 more appeal on this case. There is nothing in this particular case left to appeal, but it essentially extends the case by another 30 days or so. That would be delaying the inevitable. If Apple does appeal, all it would accomplish is add 30 days of interest on the $440 million + interest payout.SpamSandwich said:
They’re not delaying anything now. They lost.vr0513 said:
Apple hired a different legal team about 2 years or so ago because that law firm wasn't able to get this case thrown out. This one is clearly also not up to snuff. It's clear all Apple is doing is delaying the inevitable at this point because the legal system is allowing them to do so.SpamSandwich said:I think someone working on Apple’s legal team needs to be fired.

VirnetX reverses ruling invalidating patents used against Apple
VirnetX is a spinoff of the former federal contractor Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), a company which developed security technology for Homeland Security and other federal agencies. All of the patents held by VirnetX were co-invented by VirtnetX's Founder and CTO, Dr. Robert Short. So to say that VirnetX is a patent troll and just bought this patent to go after Apple is just straight WRONG. Please do some research before you accuse!auxio said:Sorry, but you know something is wrong with a system when someone can spend a couple of hours writing an intentionally broadly worded technology idea down on a piece of paper, send it to the patent office, and then later have that patent bought by a company which has deep pockets to go after companies which, you know, actually create products, and have that company get almost half a billion dollars for it. A few hours spent and someone gets half a billion dollars. What behaviour are we incentivizing here? Why actually do hard work and create things when you can get paid for doing next to nothing?

Apple did create Facetime. But VirnetX patented the technology that makes it possible.AppleExposed said:sambatyon said:Apple is a global thief, Wait until they get hit with an additional $600 Million for Virnetx.
Apple created Facetime. Virnetx is nothing more than a patent troll.
I also bet you use knockoff iPhones while calling Apple a "thief".
At that's what the courts have been believing. I find it hard to believe, even in Eastern Texas courts, that at least 3 juries have found in favor of VirnetX if they didn't actually develop the technology Apple is using.
