RE:RE:RE:Huge News for Quarterhill:Apple Verdict UpheldVanludwig, Apple could appeal to SCOTUS to extend the non-payment timeline even though it's very unlikely that SCOTUS would hear the case. I'm not sure if Apple would do so because if SCOTUS sees the appeal as frivilous, it may jeopardize future SCOTUS appeals that Apple wants to make.
Remember that Virnetx had a very different scenario than Quarterhill. Virnetx had received questionable invalidity rulings against their patents that gave Apple an argument for an appeal. In Quarterhill's cases, the patents are solid and so it is only a question of the per unit license amount.
