I had a good number of Virnetx shares and remember this legislation only too well. Apple stole it(encryption technology). They were found guilty. But then appealed to the PTAB and many patents overturned in whole or in part. Virnetx won a judgement against Apple recently but hasn’t yet been paid. Yes, they are still fighting...at a greatly reduced share price. Damn the lot of the 0bama administration.
That’s been a 10 year legal battle. It would have been rolled up years ago if not for the PTAB star chamber created under Obama.
‘Efficient Infringment’ and the PTAB have done enormous damage to the value of American patents. In reality inventors and investors have no assurance that patents have any value at all.
