Apple Must Pay Up
February 27, 2013 by Paul AusickVirnetX did not get the permanent injunction it sought, but the court ordered the two companies to go to mediation in the next 45 days in order to work out the terms of a license going forward. VirnetX holds a patent on a method for transparently creating a virtual private network (VPN) between two computers, as well as other patents related to secure communications.
VirnetX will also receive a daily payment of $330,211 a day for the infringement and $33,561 a day in interest until Apple and the company settle on a licensing deal.
While the ruling is not insignificant, Apple’s shareholder meeting today is likely to cause more excitement.
Shares of VirnetX are up 5.7% shortly after noon today, at $35.88 in a 52-week range of $19.13 to $41.93.
