Apple has stated many times that it uses none of Virnetx tech or patents in its technology. Just because they use something similar invented by someone else does not mean they infringed. A non-tech’s jury’s decision really is meaningless on tech. Virnetx is one of those NPEs I mentioned. Nobody uses their tech.
“Apple has stated many times that it uses none of Virnetx tech or patents in its technology. “
Thieves lie. There’s a shocker.
Apple’s own internal communications produced during discovery show that Apple knowingly uses VirnetX technology.
And having been caught in the first trial Apple tried to work around it. The workaround cost Apple a fortune in fees to Akamai and it was greatly inferior to the VirnetX technology.
So Apple being Apple they went back to stealing VirnetX technology and got caught once again. And that’s where Apple is now, having lost 3 consecutive US District Court trials and and one Federal Appeals Court decision.
Apple will appeal trial #4 and is asking SCOTUS to save them. Not because they expect to win, but because they hope that the endless litigation delays, now over 9 years, will bankrupt their victim before the litigation ends and Apple is compelled to pay. That’s part of the Efficient Infringement strategy.
” A non-tech’s jury’s decision really is meaningless on tech”
Yeah, I recommend that you argue that point to a federal court and see how it works out for you. Those non-tech jurors saw Apple’s own memos revealing that they were stealing. Even Apple doesn’t argue that point anymore.
“Virnetx is one of those NPEs I mentioned. Nobody uses their tech.”
Four courts have ruled otherwise despite your belief in Apple’s purity. Courts which know that invoking the magical letters ‘NPE’ does not strip anyone of their intellectual property, which is why Apple never brought it up. It’s not a legal argument, it’s nerd talk parroted by fan boys and the hack journalists that Apple has on retainer.
The crooks running Apple ought to quit stealing. The are a cancer on American invention.
