Except in this case they have a secure communications product that you can download from the iOS App Store, Gabriel Collaboration Suite, that provides strong end-to-end encryption for messaging.You are correct, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas is notoriously known as the home of Patent Trolls. Famously patent trolls seek out this particular court for its backing of their nefarious lawsuits. Most of these companies have no employees, no technology, and/or no actual product. They exist to siphon cash from legitimate companies that put in the time and money into R&D.
Patents related to basic features like video calling and peer to peer connections should be invalidated. If Apple can’t circumvent this patent with a software alternative it’s a patent that should never have been granted. I think Apple is a huge bully but thinking that prices are pushed up by a dollar from these crazy patents that are too broad is madness.
I also think that patents should at least be used in a competeting product to be valid for that area. Developing a technology should be rewarded yes but it should be shown to have been for that specific purpose and product. Infringement should at least be shown to have been intended and not independently created. VirnetX winning is not good for consumers and competition. The patent was designed to create competition between competing tech and methods and reward development of new methodology. However it’s being used like a protection racket designed to extort as much money as possible and never seems to reward original creators and instead the company’s that holds the patent.
smh just pay it the company has $200 billion in the bank
I'll give you $100 - please send me your bank account info and social security number - sometimes I also require a small transfer on your end for my bank to be willing to let me make a transferI'd like $100 from you. Just pay it to me, you have the money in the bank. If you'd like I can file a small claim and receive a default judgement so we can continue this analogy.
Their founding owners were directly related to the U.S. national security establishment
- and forced Apple to abandon encrypted phone to phone connections (no middle server)...Apple had to go to server pass through at the time. VirnetX had a patent on the direct client to client technology and wouldn't license it to Apple - not because it wasn't enough money, just wouldn't license it.
another reason texas should be sold to mexico
Patents were invalidated and I guess they appealed the judgement. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...after-patents-deemed-invalid-in-apple-dispute
The whole patent system needs to be overhauled. I'm not defending Apple if they did something wrong then they should pay up but small companies patent trolling big companies is not the way to run a business.

Just because you have the money doesn't mean you should throw it away if you don't have to.
Your comment makes it clear why you aren't and never will be rich. You don't get rich by being stupid with your money.
These lawsuits have nothing to do with money for Apple. By paying them without exhausting all legal possibilities first, Apple opens the floodgates to an unimaginable parade of future lawsuits.
The difference is, that Apple have been found guilty of patent infringement and thereof owe the money.

Only he has not stolen technology from you. So there is no question of him giving even 1 cent to you. Apple on the other hand...
You can have a $100 from me. The thing is, you'd have to get it from my wife.If you're successful - you won't be - could you get an extra $10 for me? But don't tell her. Pleeeeeease.
Maybe, but maybe it is a case of having to pay your way in life and having something called a conscience. Elon Musk is trying to run Tesla in a more conscience way than Tim Cook runs Apple and he is not exactly poor. When he cashes his shares in(once milestones are reached and he is issued them) he will be richer than Tim Cook by a merry mile. He will be one of the richest in the world.
So it is possible to be ethic and rich
Because it's related to something like this...smh just pay it the company has $200 billion in the bank
X-Plane author Austin Meyer has a great documentary out about the patent troll phenomenon, who is behind it and why it keeps going.
Apple gets a taste of its own patent trolling medication except this has more substance than rectangular with rounded corners.
Apple has a product, so it’s hardly patent trolling.
Also, the patent wasn’t and isn’t on a “rectangle with round corners”, that’s just **** someone made up on the internet.
