A federal jury in Texas has ruled in favour of VirnetX & has ordered Apple to pay 302.4 million in damages in a case which has been going on since 2010. In the last verdict, a jury ruled that Apple owed more than 600 million to the non-practicing entity over technology used in FaceTime, but, in August the appeals court said jurors may have been confused by references to the first iteration of this case & dismissed the ruling.
Now the US Court of Appeals will have to make its own ruling. This means that VirnetX needs to win there in order to get paid for its patents. However, VirnetX is also suing Apple over newer security features & its iMessage system, so the legal battle might not end there.
