With Virnetx, aapl is on its own and they can stupidly fight to the end...it has already cost them a judgement(PAID) of about $450mm + costs. I believe Virnetx will prevail in this appeal...another $555mm + costs... LOVE IT!!
With VPLM and the defendants in Waco, it isn't just appl... If things are going VPLM's way, one of the smaller players might just cave, with would hurt an ongoing appeal!!! It would be nice to see them fold like a house of cards...
WACO-A-GOGO... PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE...
In any event, with appeals, etc, I expect this to go on about the same as virnetx, ie, another 10 yrs.
