And more recently…….
***Patents have been validated***
***Initial damages analysis done***
***Defeated 12 more IPRS (20 total)**
***IPRs have been appealed and upheld unanimously***
***No patents have been invalidated***
*** Current with all requisite filings***
***current with prosecuting patents and keeping both parent and child patents current***
***Reduction in OS count (thanks Emil!)***
***Some claims (@20) invalidated for RBR but could be overturned with a decision on Axle at the Supreme Court***
***NDCA is a very difficult court to win as it is defendant friendly. Waco is fair and plaintiff friendly***
***Foot in the door in WACO and now some defendants must remain in Waco (Amazon’s writ of mandamus denied!) and face a trial. Other defendants currently stayed in NDCA are tied to Waco results***
***Albright is a judge that is perceived as fair, by the books and fast which means vplm will be given a fair chance to argue / defend patents on the merits (all we could ask for)***
***99% of Albright's cases settle before trial. Albright encourages settlement ALL THE TIME. If defendants get to trial they have been given multiple chances to settle so they can’t expect Leniency from judge Albright***
***Defendants are NOT working together as a formal consolidated group. There is a disconnect - which plays into VPLM’s favor***
***Most big defendants will settle before providing source code when discovery is requested and required. Vplm is well into discovery phase so it is only a matter of when and not if source code will be demanded***
***Apple's own expert admitted in court in virnetx case - on the record - that they use relays to route their calls (imessage, facetime, etc.). This admission will come to bite the apple in the butt***
***Apple tried to file a patent when VPLM was updating their RBR child patent but they failed to do so before VPLM did. We were first to file at USPTO. Now why did they do this? --> because they wanted to get around infringing. Sorry apple, you lose again***
***60+ companies have received letters that notified them of possible infringement AND offered them the chance to take a license. This was years ago. Willful infringement equals treble damages!***
***Apple and others can be brought back into litigation as they were dismissed WITHOUT PREJUDICE***
