Virnetx Loses Court Battle To Cisco Over VPN Patent

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the better-luck-next-time dept.

schneidafunk writes "VirnetX, a patent-licensing firm with 14 employees, has seen its stock price fall after it lost a major patent trial in Texas on Thursday. A jury there ruled that Cisco did not infringe VirnetX's patents on virtual private networks (VPNs), and that the networking giant didn't have to pay $258 million in damages."

    The looser of the two must be quite loose already.

    Seems like when a patent or copyright troll is shown to be making baseless lawsuits, there should be some more appropriate response. When child molesters are convicted, their names and faces are made public. Shouldn't there be a website for bottom-feeding suckerfish?

    That's not a very nice or fair comparison.

    Please, think of the real bottom-feeders out there performing a useful ecological function in our lakes and rivers.
