The bounds of the current law as peculiarly applied by the infamous courts of south eastern TexasThey are within the bounds of the current law, Apple violated their patent and has been suing to reduce the royalty fee and keeps on losing... it’s the cost of breaking the law, suck it up, like it or not.
Maybe instead I’d spending more money to fight this in the courts, go spend that money to work on changing the current law (related to patents) ... you’ll do yourself a favor in the long run...
All patent cases that are appealed go to the same court (Federal Circuit), and Apple doesn’t seem to have had any luck there re: virnetx.The bounds of the current law as peculiarly applied by the infamous courts of south eastern Texas
Agreed. And software patents should be 2 years for novel work and 1 year for derivative work. No extensions.Go change the law then...
There is nothing illegal about being a patent troll. Only your feelings got hurt.Christ, you’re all missing the point. They don’t release anything. Ever. They’re patent trolls.
Seems like there’s 18 people that get it, and about 8 people so far that are thick as a brick.
Notice that you used an analogy to a well-deserved medicine patent instead of talking about the actual patent in this case.Tell me about it, somehow they own medicine formulas that save human lives. Thats seems to be ok with the law.
Personally, any one who puts the effort and risk the money into making something should be rewarded for it but the red line here is reasonable reward. Selling me a medication for $3 is different than giving me a $4000 pill because you own the patents.
Sideshow Bob was saying the same thing, that Apple's open source stuff isn't worthy of consideration.Between me and sideshowuniqueuser, we were discussing if Apple open sources stuff. You jumped in the conversation and mistakenly thought differently of what the conversation is about so that's not really my problem.
Who said it was illegal? Who said my feelings are hurt? I have no skin in the game. You do know it’s possible to be somewhere between not caring and being outraged, right? I can think they’re scumbags without exerting too much energy.There is nothing illegal about being a patent troll. Only your feelings got hurt.
“The Apple Watch technology?”I like apple products, but I can't feel too badly about them in this case seeing how they, themselves, basically stole the Apple Watch technology from a small company
“The Apple Watch technology?”
What Apple Watch technology?
Yeah there’s a reason every single one of these cases are in south eastern Texas. Because it wouldn’t fly anywhere else in the country.The bounds of the current law as peculiarly applied by the infamous courts of south eastern Texas

Apple Stole Tech for Watch, Masimo Claims in Patent Suit
Apple Inc. is accused of stealing trade secrets and improperly using Masimo Corp. inventions related to health monitoring in its Apple Watch.www.bloomberg.com

VirnetX don't invent anything. When you look at their history and roadmap - there can be seen real clear that they are patent trolls and nothing els. Look at their home page and what they do activity, their location and strange appearance and a complex schematics on security found by others and not related to Virnetx as they stated Virnetx on media just to fill up a history but in real life they do nothing.So... VirnetX invented something and patented it. Then they defended their patents in court. Apple stole their idea, used it to make money and got caught. It's just amusing to see AAPL shareholders here losing their temper.
East Texas, really.What's special about SE Texas? Isn't that Houston?
If you are not actually using a patent for a product, you shouldn’t be paid for the patent.
Oh my, where is the courts wisdom in all of this? Isnt there a jury that thinks this is pure illegal. Virnetx is nothing but a illegal Law firm buying patents for Business.
You hit it right on the button. Apple should not be talking about patent trolls. After all, did it not patent swiping your phone to open it and sued others for using similar action?Jeez you guys are rough on this company. If some other business was infringing on an apple patent would you still think apple isn't owed that money. Like others have said, that's the law suck it up and pay it. Like it or not apple is gonna have to pay it.
