RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Wilan cross appeal? Correction. VirnetX won more than $400M in first trial. They have already been paid by Apple. They then paid a nice special dividend to shareholders.
Then they just won another case with nearly $600M in total judgment plus (coincidentally) a 0.85 ongoing royalty.
VirnetX is important to watch because Apple's position of never settling is starting to get very costly. So that position could change inside Apple given these huge losses.
Additionally, VHC could take out QTRH given they have already taken a couple bites out of Apple and they have a ton of cash. Their investors appear to be more comfortable with it.
Lastly, VHC also shows that you can win multiple times against Apple. Other Starwood patents are being litigated against Chinese firms. Those can then be deployed against Apple again as well.
