No. Apple are arguing that the patents are invalid. They aren't sayin they have been found invalid already. The TechCrunch article said "All four of VirnetX’s patents have been found invalid by the patent office"
- piyush_soni 11y ago>> They aren't sayin they have been found invalid already .. They are saying exactly that, at least according to their press statement.
- pc86 11y agoIt's legal posturing.
- DannyBee 11y agoActually, they haven't. At least, as far as i can tell (they each have tens of actions on them and i can't read every decision :P). They have been found "likely to have serious questions of validity". This is basically the standard you must meet to get a review. That's why they were found that way. Next, an actual trial will occur. But they are not "provisionally invalid" or anything like that. There is literally no decision yet from PTAB, and in fact, the only reigning decision on validity is the appeals court.
- pc86 11y agoYou are right, I've edited my answer as such.
