Apple should agree to shut down all these services.

Then they should tell the impacted users to contact their Congresscritter and request reforms to the patent laws.

VirnetX is now demanding that Apple be forced to stop providing iMessaging and FaceTime and to INCREASE a judgement against Apple for infringing four now INVALIDATED patents once held by VirnetX that Apple has always contended they DO NOT AT ALL USE for those applications. It should be absurd to have a Federal Court issue an injunction to enforce an infringement order and increase by $190 million judgement on INVALID PATENTS, but such is the situation now going on in the Rocket Docket of East Texas Federal Court system. — PING!

An inventor and patent holder is not a “troll”.

VirnetX is a spin off of SAIC.

SAIC developed the secure communications used by the CIA and similar agencies. VirnetX was spun off in order to offer these same secure communications to the private sector.

Apple, instead of paying VirnetX for the use of these products, simply decided to steal them. They have been found guilty in an Article 3 court of this theft.

Apple is trying to outlast VirnetX’s ability to survive an endless round of appeals and PTAB reviews. If VirnetX runs out of cash then Apple’s strategy of IP theft will win out.

The Halo/Stryker decision just released by SCOTUS could prove important to this case.
