No longer a Non-Practicing Entity

They are marketing the new "Gabriel" server — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.233.120.5 (talk) 20:53, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That unused software seems inline with behavior of other patent trolls in that it essentially derives no significant revenue from this. https://www.patentprogress.org/2016/04/08/virnetx-patent-troll/ 89.255.225.223 (talk) 00:32, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]


89.225.225.233, the article you posted was written by a legal blog called patentprogress.org. It is not a neutral source for information and should be taken with a grain of salt. The writer is Matt Levy, gives his subjective opinion that this company is a patent troll. Wikipedia is not a place for subjective opinions, it is an encyclopedia, not a blog. See WP:NPV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_po

Facts are, this company actually produces software called Gabriel Connect for desktop and mobile devices. It is desktop software is available for download via its website and is available for MacOS and Windows platforms. Its mobile software is available for download via the Google Play and Apple Store.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on VirnetX. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Neutrality

Just adding another voice here disputing the neutrality of the article. Nowhere is mentioned that all patents at issue in the on-going VirnetX/Apple trials have been ruled invalid by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), an expert-staffed agency, part of the USPTO itself which issues the patents. They have essentially declared they were issued in error due to an interpretation of prior art, although not all appeals have been exhausted.

This agency works in parallel with the Federal Court process which relies on testimony to lay juries. Here is a citation to a more recent Court decision against VirnetX which has occurred since this article was updated in 2014, e.g.

https://www.law360.com/articles/871089/fed-circ-upholds-ptab-nixing-of-claims-in-virnetx-patents

Lastly, the statement "Apple's engineering staff ... knew they were violating ..." is not supported by the Court of Appeals decision cited. Apple's viewpoint is that "VPN on Demand" using a DNS-triggered VPN setup is straightforward from existing practice, via implementation of openly-specified work sponsored by the IETF, and other companies like Cisco. In summary this article is not just biased but is woefully out-of-date. James Alien Woods (talk) 23:08, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Another voice for the neutrality debate: much of the "NPOV" content appears to be coming from small selection of edits, such as this or these or this deletion or this set; many of which are either deleted accounts or single-purpose ones. There clearly appears to be some astroturfing going on here. ILikeTau (talk) 22:17, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, and the overall tone of the article doesn't seem consistent with articles like this one https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/10/full-scale-of-apples-patent-loss-to-virnetx-is-now-clear-440-million/ "The company, which has 20 full-time and part-time employees and is based in Zephyr Cove, Nevada, makes its revenue from licensing its patents and suing companies it argues infringe those patents."

Protected

I have applied ECP for one week., This is to allow experienced editors attracted from WP:ANI to edit the article, while hopefully preventing further edit warring. Guy (help!) 19:10, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Several Changes

@GretLomborg: felt that my changes to VirnetX were not due. Gret can you elaborate a bit on why and which sections in particular? Happy to compromise on this. Deltagammaz (talk) 23:45, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Diff for future reference: [1]
1. You're using inappropriate source, for instance public records and opposing party court filings (which by the way are unreliable since they're biased by design). This is against Wikipedia policy, see WP:BLPPRIMARY.
2. There's no encyclopedic purpose for posting the location of the house of the CEO of this company, and it might be seen as a kind of harassment (especially given the controversial nature of this company).
3. Similarly, there's no encyclopedic purpose for posting a photo of the company's jet, sourced to your own work and the company's 10K filings. It's also WP:OR, which is against policy. Similarly, the name of the image file [2] (which you claim is your own work), seems to indicate a lack of a WP:NPOV, which is also against policy.
You've already been warned about similar issues [3]. I've removed this material again. Please don't re-introduce it. - GretLomborg (talk) 00:39, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's worse than described. These are blatant BLP violations, and subject to sanctions. --Hipal (talk) 17:22, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
