Waxyaabaha loo yaqaan 'Patent trolls' waxay shar ku noqdeen shirkadaha tiknoolajiyadda, waa shar shar xilligan la joogo u muuqda mid ka sii fogaanaya in kasta oo ay jiraan dhaqdhaqaaqyo ay shirkaduhu ka hortagayaan shirkadahaas naftooda u hura sidii ay lacagta uga bixi lahaayeen adiga oo aan hal doolar ku bixin R&D.
Shirkaddan noocan ah, ku hawlan iibsashada shirkado horay u diiwaan galiyay shatiyada, si hadhow loo qabto oo loo soo sheego shirkadaha waaweyn ee adeegsada. Microsoft iyo Apple waa qaar kamid ah shirkadaha waawayn ee ay saamaysay shirkada noocan ahi, laakiin marka laga hadlayo Apple, waxaad moodaa in kiiska markale lagu celiyo isla shirkadaas: VirnetX.
Sannadkii 2010, VirnetX wuxuu ku eedeeyay Apple inay adeegsatay tiknoolajiyad taas shirkadda magaceedu wuxuu ka diiwaan gashan yahay FaceTime, Messages iyo adeegga VPN. Kadib sanado badan oo uu ka dagaalamayay maxkamada, kooxdan shatiga ah waxay 439 milyan ka qaateen shirkada Cupertino ee fadhigeedu yahay, waana jaantus ka sareeya wixii ay ugu danbeyn codsadeen. Dacwadii ugu dambeysay ee VirnetX ay ku soo oogtay Apple ayaa ka badan intii ay horay uga qaadatay Apple. VirnetX waxay ku guuleysatay inay ku guuleysato dacwad cusub oo ka dhan ah Apple taasoo garsooraha uu ku amray in la bixiyo 502 milyan oo doolar, xukun ka duwan kii ay labada shirkadood la kulmeen tan iyo 2010.
Lacagtan cusub waxay umuuqataa inay iska leedahay Noocyada cusub ee qalabka Apple ayaa sii daayay tan iyo markii dacwaddii ugu horreysay ay bilaabatay 2010 iyadoo la adeegsanayo borotokoolka isgaarsiinta ee FaceTime iyo arjiga farriimaha, oo ah hab maamuleed loo qaabeeyey sii deynta iOS 7. Apple waxay horey u shaacisay inay racfaan ka qaadaneyso xukunka. Haddii xukunka tijaabadan cusub ee ka dhanka ah VirnetX ee ka dhanka ah Apple ugu dambeyn la meel mariyo, kaftanka ayaa khasnadda Apple ku kici kara ku dhowaad $ 1.000 bilyan, iyada oo aan shirkaddu hal doolar ku bixin R&D. Ganacsi 100% faa'iido leh.
