VirnetX – An internet patent holding firm that really likes to screw over tech companies with deep pockets, is apparently looking to make Apple pay up a pretty penny ($532 million!) over an alleged patent infringement dispute.
According to Bloomberg, VirnetX is taking the offensive against apple because they claim that the company has been using their patented technology for secure communications. Get what that means? Me neither, so let’s explain further. VirnetX holds various online patents for VPN’s (Virtual Private Networks), a technology that allows a website owner to interact with customers securely or allowing an employee to work at home and access company files. And they have been on an ongoing battle with Apple, claiming that the company has been using this technology of theirs, going as far as to say that features like Facetime and iMessage, are also examples of infringement.
Vision Pro is here and it’s a surprisingly capable device. Apple has also loaded the headset with a ton of options and features that aren’t obvious at first glance.
Ringing the changes: All the news, rumors, and tips you missed last week.
Apple is anticipated to announce the new OLED iPad Pro this spring. Although there has been considerable speculation about the product, it’s always reassuring when Apple officially confirms certain features through upcoming software updates.
I've fixed the images on some of these past submissions of yours. Please in the future make sure the image isn't broken on submission.( I always found it best to download/upload it to be honest. )
It's kind of funny because $532 million is kind of chump change to a juggernaut like Apple.
Of course it won't liekly be paid or it will be settled out of court. VirnetX is probably looking for a quick cash grab.
Seriously? Apple should not pay it because not even just Apple many other companies are following the same procedure. VirnetX can't sue them all in court.
