VirnetX [NPE] filed suit against Apple, alleging that Apple’s laptops, iPhones, iPads, iPods, and computers infringe a patent related to establishing a secure communication link between networked devices. VirnetX has filed three prior suits since March 2010 against Aastra, Avaya, Cisco, Microsoft, Mitel Networks, NEC, and Siemens. The patent-in-suit was issued the same day this suit was filed, and was originally assigned to Science Applications International Corporation before being assigned to VirnetX in 2006. 11/1, Eastern District of Texas, 6:2011cv00563.
