A Texas judge has upheld a pair of infringement verdicts issued in April for VirnetX Inc. against Apple, in which a jury found that the company had infringed claims from four patents through certain versions of the FaceTime and VPN on Demand features offered on iOS and macOS devices (6:12-cv-00855). In an order issued on August 30, District Judge Robert Schroeder III denied Apple’s motion judgment as a matter of law or for a new trial as to both verdicts, the first of which included a damages award of $502.6M and the second of which included a finding of willfulness. However, Judge Schroeder also declined to award VirnetX enhanced damages and denied the NPE’s request for an injunction. Meanwhile, each of the claims Apple was found to infringe was cancelled by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) before the trial in the -855 case, in inter partes reviews (IPRs) filed by Apple and other parties, and appeals of those decisions remain active before the Federal Circuit.
