VirnetX had sued Apple in 2010 for infringing its patents through technology used in FaceTime video calls, as well as VPN functionality in iOS. > Apple was originally slapped with damages of $302 million, which were raised to $439.7 million after the inclusion of interest and “other costs”. Later, in 2018, a federal jury in Texas awarded $502.6 million in damages to VirnetX. Through various appeals and rulings, the damages were reduced to $440 million again.
