DALLAS, Oct. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- A Texas
federal judge has entered a $439.7
million patent infringement judgment against Apple Inc.
(NASDAQ: AAPL) following a verdict won last year by attorneys from
Dallas' Caldwell Cassady &
Curry in favor of Nevada-based
VirnetX Inc. (NYSE MKT: VHC), an internet security software and
technology company.
The case focused on internet security patents owned by VirnetX
that Apple used without permission to produce popular features such
as FaceTime on the company's iPhones and other products.
The judgment handed down Sept. 29,
2017, by Judge Robert W. Schroeder
III in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Texas affirms a $302.4 million verdict won by Caldwell Cassady
& Curry on behalf of VirnetX in September 2016. The case is VirnetX Inc., et
al. v. Apple Inc., No. 6:10-CV-417.
In addition to the verdict amount, the court also ordered Apple
to pay more than $41 million in
enhanced damages and more than $96
million in court costs, attorneys' fees and prejudgment
interest.
The Caldwell Cassady & Curry attorneys who successfully
represented VirnetX are name principals Brad Caldwell, Jason
Cassady and Austin Curry;
firm principal Justin Nemunaitis;
and firm associates Hamad Hamad,
Warren McCarty, Daniel Pearson, Christopher Stewart and John Summers.
"VirnetX is a company made up of good, decent people who
invented groundbreaking technology. It's nice to see good things
happen to good people, and we are grateful that the court fully
affirmed the jury's verdict," says Mr. Cassady.
The lawyers at Caldwell Cassady & Curry have successfully
represented VirnetX in three separate patent infringement trials
against Apple since 2012, with jurors awarding VirnetX more than
$1.2 billion.
