VirnetX Inc. v. Apple Inc., No. 19-1050 (Fed. Cir. Nov. 22, 2019)

From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

VirnetX Inc. and Leidos, Inc. (together, VirnetX) brought this case against Apple Inc. , alleging that Apple infringed four VirnetX patents. The district court entered summary judgment for VirnetX on invalidity, determining that Apple was precluded from pressing its proposed inva- lidity challenges because of previous litigation between the parties. A jury found for VirnetX on infri ngement and awarded roughly $503 million as a reasonable royalty, equal to a rate of $1.20 for each device whose sale by Apple infringed.
