Why? The US Patent Office has already invalidated all four patents in suit. VirnetX is trying to hold up Apple using INVALID PATENTS merely because an ignorant jury in East Texas found against Apple in the trial because they could not understand the very technical issues in the suit. Apple was in the process of appealing the judgement when the USPTO invalidated the in suit patents completely so the process was never completed. VirnetX is trying to go back to the original well for MORE money and an injunction using invalidated patents. Absurdity upon absurdity.
The judge in the case, if he is at all interested in justice, should vacate the decision.
I am no Apple fanboy as Sword can attest, but this company are notorious trolls and all 4 patents were invalidated. Why should Apple pay?
“Why? The US Patent Office has already invalidated all four patents in suit.”
Learn the law, fanboy. The patents were found valid and infringed in an Article 3 court. An executive agency cannot overthrow the decision of an Article 3 court.
Apple has long employed a practice of stealing intellectual property and defying the inventors to get paid. It is a consistent business strategy using delay in the courts to assist theft. VirnetX is far from Apple’s first time.
