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/

External links modified

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:

Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20150522201411/http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/images/stories/opinions-orders/13-1489.Opinion.9-12-2014.1.PDF to http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/images/stories/opinions-orders/13-1489.Opinion.9-12-2014.1.PDF

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

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."
