Apple has a long reputation of either licensing or outright buying the intellectual property it uses, not stealing it. You are mistaking Apple for Microsoft's business model.
You started your rebuttal to me with an insulting slur which demonstrates you have no facts. The facts are that Apple demonstrated in court they used alternative tech to VirnetX's claimed technology.
“Apple has a long reputation of either licensing or outright buying the intellectual property it uses, not stealing it. You are mistaking Apple for Microsoft’s business model. “
They both do it. VirnetX successfully sued MSFT over the same issue. See if you can figure out what this says. It is still in effect;
Apple is simply using the delay of appeals and IPR to try to outlast VirnetX’s ability to stay solvent. They have done this before with other small firms. Inventors have been badly disadvantaged by the America Invents Act which has opened the door to widespread theft by large corporations like Apple. This is Apple’s corporate strategy. It’s IP theft.
