I wonder if these guys are going to have better luck than they did last time they faced Apple in court?

Apple Inc. owes $532 million for using patented VirnetX Holding Corp. technology for secure communications, a lawyer for VirnetX told a federal jury in Texas Monday. “Apple hasn’t played fair. They have taken Virnetx’s intellectual property without permission,” VirnetX lawyer Brad Caldwell of Caldwell Cassady told the jury in Tyler, Texas.
 
Silly lawyer, doesn't he know that Apple has already invented/patented everything?

The dispute is over secure networks, known as virtual private networks, through which a website owner can interact with customers or an employee can work at home and access company files. Apple’s FaceTime video-calling feature also is accused of infringing VirnetX patents.

The trial, expected to last through next week, will focus on whether Apple is using the technology through FaceTime, the iMessage system to send messages to other Apple users and its newer operating systems. Its VPN on Demand service was already found to infringe VirnetX patents.
