Apple (Who really never invented anything they could steal) losespatent retrial, owes $302.4 million to VirnetX.
Apple has been ordered to pay $302.4 million to the patent
holding and security software company VirnetX for infringing patents covering secure computer and mobile communications. A jury in Tyler, Texas, found Friday that Apple infringed on two patents related to its FaceTime videoconferencing application. The award also includes damages for infringement of VirnetX technology in Virtual Private Network on Demand. The verdict was the result of the third trial filed since 2010 against Apple by VirnetX, a company that makes most of its money from licensing patented technology that creates virtual private networks over the internet. A verdict in February ordered Apple to pay VirnetX $625.6 million in damages after two lawsuits were combined. But in August, a federal judge voided the verdict, saying that combining two lawsuits into a single trial confused the jurors and was unfair to Apple. He ruled that both cases needed to be tried separately. Apple said it plans to appeal the verdict but declined to comment further. https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-pate...al-owes-302-4- million-to-virnetx-facetime-video-calling-tyler-vpn/ |

Look up the EU's ruling that the sweetheart deal with Ireland must be voided because it amounted to an illegal government subsidy for Apple. now look up that it's not a sweetheart deal nor is it specific to apple, but rather it's part of the tax code itself and completely legal. also look up that apple isn't the only company to legally use the tax code in that manner. google, microsoft, facebook, intel and others do the same thing. after that, look up that ireland is siding with apple, *not* the eu. in other words, ireland doesn't want apple to pay and it's questionable whether the eu has any say in the matter in the first place. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-eu...reland-idUSKCN 1180WR |

You fangurls are really stupid. Apple screws you without vaseline, and you bend over for more. How do they do that: by making products that people want and selling them at prices those people are willing to pay? Except they don't do that. They make LIMITED hardware at exorbitant prices knowing that there are enough dumb people out there willing to buy it as a fashion statement. In your limited opinion... $300 million is a drop in the bucket for a company that takes in over $18 billion a quarter. Apple makes enough money in profit to pay this fine in a couple days. Big deal. Especially in the light of they don't pay any taxes. Bull****. It's accurate. Apple's taxes are mostly paid elsewhere and they've been avoiding giving the United States even a dime. They went to court over it near and after Jobs' death and Tim Cook was asked point-blank why Apple avoids paying taxes in the United States. Try to pause your fanboyism for a day to look it up. Apple pays a HUGE amount in taxes, and they use legal means to avoid paying more than they have to. 'It’s the third thing that’s so interesting though. About this shifting of cash flows and tax debts through time. Last year Apple made provisions for tax of $8.283 billion (Provision for income taxes 8,283). Which was indeed 24.2% of their profits declared in that year. Now, in this trading year they’ve actually paid over $7.682 billion.' http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworst...o-how-much-tax - - di d-apple-pay/#36b183145fa9 Apple pays a lot but also avoids paying a lot. To be fair, I would probably do the same in their position since the United States have taken it upon themselves to tax the crap out of corporations to the extent that none of them want to do business in your country anymore but it's still unethical for an American company to do so. Now let's see a cite for your claim. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/apple...tifies/story?i d =19 219178 Your claim was: 'They went to court over it near and after Jobs' death' A congressional subcommittee hearing is not a court. And yet Apple received a _court_ order. https://secure.marke****ch.com/story...rt-order-threa te ns-the-security-of-customers-2016-02-17 Geez, stop being a retarded fanboy.
