BBC One for the
Newspicks, or even an article? The sum is about half the amount
VirnetX had originally demanded and will only cause a small dent in the
iPhone-maker's strong balance sheet.
But the ruling could have more
serious consequences if VirnetX carries out a threat to block the further use of
its innovations in Apple's products.
It gets better:But
the verdict will boost a related claim filed by VirnetX with the US's
International Trade Commission which could theoretically lead to a sales ban on
Apple products that infringe its technology. Hopefully there will be
a sales ban, which will annoy so many people that it will lead to the elected
government doing something about software patents, preferably the simplest
thing, which is to get rid of them entirely.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Not unexpected. People are waking up and
realizing that iPhones and iPads are overpriced.
Apple can see the writing on the wall and are
desparate, hence the insane lawsuits.

Oh, I've looked them up, and the case was discussed here before.
There's
a suggestion that they might not be the exclusive
owners of the patents in suit. Something in their case against Microsoft must
have prompted this posting in Investorvillage 6/26/2010 . CNBC's MarketInsider was not convinced
of their value in July this year.
Virnetx themselves freely admit
Our portfolio of
intellectual property is the foundation of our business model. They list
current licensees as Microsoft May 2010 ,
Aastra May 2012 , Mitel July 2012 , and NEC August 2012.
According to Bloomberg's numbers Virnetx
is currently on negative earnings, and they earned $36,000 royalties revenue first half this year.
I'd like some confirmation
that figure is only 36E3. It doesn't look enought to
satisfy their listed board and executive management team.
How VirnetX
Will Profit From Next-Gen Networks is a 96pp pdf with more tech than your
usual PR puffery. They list physical offices at
Zephyr Cove , Nevada
