Court of Appeals Voids VirnetX's $503 Million Patent Award Against Apple

A U.S. appeals court voided a jury’s calculation that Apple should pay $503 million for infringing patents owned by licensing firm VirnetX Holdings Corp , setting the stage for another potential trial in a decade-old legal battle. In a partial victory for VirnetX, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit left in place a Texas jury’s finding that Apple iPhones infringed two VirnetX patents relating to secure communications technology.
