2/5/16

      VirnetX is a company that buys patents from other companies and then sells the same patent. They are often called "Patent Trolls" because they sell single product patents. This company currently has 80 patents. VirnetX in 2012 accused Apple of violating four of their patents which involved  I message and Face Time. In 2012 they failed to convince the jury that Apple violated their patents. However, on Wednesday VirnetX won the case with a new jury and sued Apple $626 million dollars for violating VirnetX's patents. Check out the article!
