Ijaji yomdibaniso igqibe ngolwe-Sihlanu esidlulileyo ukuba iApple yeTimeTime yesicelo / ukusebenza okuvumela iminxeba kunye neefowuni zevidiyo phakathi kwabasebenzisi benkampani kunye nezixhobo zeselfowuni kunye nedesktop, zaphula amalungelo awodwa omnini wenkampani yeVirnetX. Ngesi sizathu, Inkampani yaseCupertino kufuneka ikhusele le nkampani ngemali eyi-302 yezigidi zeedolakungenxa yomonakalo obangelwe.
Ngokwe-arhente yeendaba yeReuters, iJaji uRobert Schroeder, owayekhokele eli tyala kwi-Federal District Court yaseTyler, eTexas, ebephethe ukukhupha esi sigwebo, kodwa, kodwa, esisiseko saso kwityala eliqale phakathi kweenkampani zombini. phaya ngo-2010.
U-Apple woyiswa emfazweni ngokuchasene neVirnetX, kwakhona
Umlo osemthethweni phakathi kweenkampani iApple kunye neVirnetX ubuyela umva ngo-2010, xa uApple nezinye iinkampani babetyholwa ngokophula amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza amahlanu ahambelana nothungelwano lwabucala okanye iiVPN.
Kunyaka olandelayo, ngo-2011, i-VirnetX yanciphisa iinjongo zayo enkundleni ngokunciphisa umrhumo ekuphulweni kwelungelo elilodwa lomenzi kwi-VPN nge-iPhone 4S, isixhobo sika-Apple esakhutshwa ngaloo nyaka.
Ngo-2012 u-Apple wagwetywa ukuhlawula i-368 yezigidi zeedola xa ijaji yafumanisa ukuba inkampani inetyala lokwaphula umthetho uthe iVirnetX patent, isigwebo sachithwa kwiminyaka embalwa kamva, ngo-2014, yiNkundla yeziBheno yase-United States emva kokuba le nkundla ithathe isigqibo sokuba isigwebo "singcolisiwe" ngokusekwe kwimiyalelo engeyiyo eyayifunyenwe lijaji letyala.
Ngaloo ndlela, ngoFebruwari wonyaka ophelileyo entsha Ityala elidibanisa amabango amabini obunini yi-VirnetX ngokuchasene ne-Apple, eyayiyiyo ugwetyelwe ukuhlawula i625,6 yezigidi zeedola. Kodwa imbali yayisele iza kuziphinda.
Uvuyo lweVirnetX aluzange luhlale xesha lide. Malunga neenyanga ezimbini ezidlulileyo, iJaji yeSithili uRobert Schroeder waseTyler, eTexas, ichazwa njenge "engenabulungisa" ukuba la matyala mabini eVirnetX ebebandakanyiwe kwinkqubo enye. Ngokuka mantyi, kwakhona ijaji ibinokuthi "ichukunyiswe" okanye "ingcoliswe" ngenxa yokuba ngexesha lokuxoxwa kwetyala bekukho iingxelo eziphindaphindiweyo zamatyala angaphambili anokubangela ukudideka kwijaji, ekhokelela kwityala elingalunganga. Ngaphantsi kwezi ngxoxo, ijaji yasichitha isigwebo esigqithileyo yaza yaqinisekisa ukuba iinkqubo ezimbini zokugweba kufuneka zibanjiwe.
Ukusuka eVirnetX, i-CEO yenkampani uKendall Larsen, uvakalise ukuphoxeka kwenkampani kwisigqibo sikaSchroeder, kodwa bathobela okwenzekileyo kwaye baveza ukuba inkampani sele ilungiselela umlo olandelayo:
"Sidanile," utshilo umphathi weVirnetX uKendall Larsen kwingxelo yangoMvulo. "Siphonononga zonke iinketho zethu kwaye sizakulandela isikhokelo senkundla njengoko siqala ukulungiselela ezi zilingo zintsha."
Iziphumo zesigqibo sikaJaji Robert Schroeder (ukubanjwa kwamatyala amabini amatsha), siphelile, ngokuyinxenye, kwesi sigqibo I-Apple kufuneka ikhusele iVirnetX ngexabiso lezigidi ezingama-302,4 zeedola. Kodwa ibali alikafiki esiphelweni njengoko kusekho ityala lesibini, nokophulwa kwelungelo elilodwa lomenzi olunxulumene nokusetyenziswa kwe-IP, enokuthi ikhokelele kwinto entsha yokugweba i-Apple.
Uloyiso emva kokuphumelela
Olu loyiso lweVirnetX longeza kwenye umtya omde woloyiso ngokuchasene neApple (Nangona zonke zirhoxisiwe, njengoko sele sibonile) kunye nezinye iinkampani kwicandelo lobuchwepheshe.
Ngo-2010, inkampani yaxazulula ngaphandle kwenkundla impikiswano yokuphulwa kwelungelo lobunikazi eyayifake kwiMicrosoft. Kule meko, inkampani esekwe nguBill Gates ivumile ukuhlawula i-200 yezigidi zeedola.
Emuva ngo-2014, i-VirnetX yakwazi ukugcina ilungelo kumalungelo abenzi bayo ngokuchasene nenkonzo yemiyalezo ekhawulezileyo (ngoku ikusezandleni zeMicrosoft) i-Skype, apho ifumene enye i-23 yezigidi zeedola kuyo.
