You may think you are reading an article months old or even with some years behind him, but no. The point is that it has happened again. VirnetX has again gotten Apple to pay compensation for patent infringement, as established by a Texas court. Nothing more and nothing less than something more than 500 million dollars.
It has happened again and Apple will have to pay a good compensation to the VirnetX company for patent infringement. This time the amount to be paid is 502.8 million dollars. This has been established by the Jury of the court that has taken and studied the lawsuit against Apple.
The jury had to decide the damages that Apple has to pay VirnetX for the VPN on Demand feature. VirnetX had demanded $ 700 million from Apple, while the latter argued that it should only pay 113 million dollars. However, the jury finally decided that neither for one nor the other. An intermediate amount although closer to what was requested by VirnetX.
Apple and VirnetX are involved in two separate patent battles. Last year, the VPN on Demand privilege case was awarded to VirnetX with Apple asking to pay $ 503 million. However, Apple appealed the decision and the court ruling stated that the damages must be recalculated or a new trial should be held. Unfortunately for Apple, the jury's revised amount is only slightly less to what the court order had initially ordered him to pay last year.
Be that as it may, VirnetX is an expert in getting money from Apple on patent issues and it is that the apple company usually register several of these a week in order to be able to innovate in its present and future products.
