WAIT, WAIT, WAIT FOLKS!

Many are jumping to conclusions based on information from the AUTHOR of this article!  It takes MUCH more than one court opinion to paint the landscape.

VirnetX DID NOT create video chat/calling...AND, they don't claim to doing that!  That's something that would be EASILY debunked.

For those who do not know, VirnetX's patented technology is a one- or no-click technology that creates instant security of your communications.  That's the invention!  Does Apple want their communication via iMessage, Facetime, VPN on Demand to be secure and simple?  Of course they do!  Apple's customers demand and expect that.  How often do you hear Apple or Tim Cook grandstand about privacy and security that's incorporated within their solutions?  Security and privacy are part of Apple's core principals.

Apple just so happened to adopted VirnetX's patented tech to accomplish their secure connection links...it's that simple.  Then, Apple - like most margin conscious companies - did not want to license or pay.  VirnetX got the full bully treatment for years and years and it's finally coming to a head now.  It's really AMAZING that Apple was not able to bankrupt VHC during the process.  

Don't be mad at VirnetX.  Apple is stealing the tech...they simply do not want to pay for the invention.  For folks to argue that "now you'll pay more for your iPhone, etc." is ludicrous!  Inventors need to be compensated fair value for their inventions.  Thanks for listening if you read this far.
