Apple has been embroiled in a decade-long battle with patent licensing company VirnetX, which is often described as a “patent troll.” In a new decision today, Apple was handed a victory by the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, but the case is still not quite over.
To refresh your memory, Apple and VirnetX have battled it out in multiple different patent infringement trials over the last 13 years. In 2012, a judge in East Texas ruled that Apple had infringed upon multiple VirnetX patents related to network technology and set damages at $368 million.
