re: VirtnetX vs. VPLM

some of my random thoughts for you to chew on and destroy :)


I see some differences between these situations of VPLM and VirtnetX. One difference that I find interesting is about the underlying technology. Another is about how easy it would be to "stop infringing."

1. I don't believe Apples directly infringed on VirtnetX (my opinion, and perhaps the law does not agree)
2. I don't think that the same thing could be said about Apple's infringement of VPLM patents. It is direct, and it is more difficult to avoid by a) nature of the breadth of the patent(s) and, b) also simultaneously by Apple's liberal use of of VOIP within Apple's large eco-system.

Just based on these factors alone, I think VPLM is in a better position to get some respect for VPLM patents and they may even desire to license going forward.
