Looks like what was once the most innovative company is now turning to cheap tricks in a pathetic attempt to retain their crumbling empire. Go Motorola!

LOL just seen this ...
Apple innocent? I don’t think so.. Go for it crapple please do us all a favor do the right thing or get the hell out!!
Apple has been found guilty of violating four patents held by a company called VirnetX. VirnetX believes Apple's FaceTime app, which lets iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Mac device users conduct real-time, two-way video chats, infringes on its intellectual property. VirnetX's patents specifically cover "the use of a domain-name service to set up virtual private networks." Under VirnetX's patent, the VPNs are then used by corporations to communicate with customers or employees. Crapple maintains that it is innocent.

Apple has lost another court case and since they fought to the bitter end, ended up paying almost twice as much as Microsoft who ended up paying in a settlement lol
Which effects face time for their entire line up

Apple will never learn, instead of wasting its time and the taxpayers money, let it focus on coming up with products that are commensurate with the competition's. Apple is really not getting long in the tooth.

I would like to add to my previous post something I did not leave crystal clear.
The competitors can always achieve the exact same thing through a different way (one that does not infringe those proprietary tweaks, for instance like what has been happening with the current displays).
On the other hand, Apple can only actually use their tweaks if they first are allowed to use the core technology which those tweaks rely upon.
You can patent an extension to any given technology, but that does not automatically give you the rights to use the technology which you are extending upon (only protects the extensions, not the rest).
That is what most folks are failing to realize in this fight. Apple's marketing department has them, somehow, believing that Apple owns all the innovation.
The reality of the matter is that their innovation is built upon someone else innovations.
That is why you see Apple filling complaints based on looks, shapes and icons. That is mostly what they have.
On the other hand their competitors can start filling complaints on core technologies the moment Apple slips to license one of them.
They have been smart enough not to slip (so far), the real question is how long can they keep up not owning the actual technologies but passing by being their creators.

cnick, 06 Nov 2012Ok mister smart.I was hoping if you'd get my idea thoug...Your idea was that, somehow, Apple's Intellectual Property (aka patents) would cripple the ability of their competitors in the same way that some of their competitors can cripple Apple through patents.
That assertion is wrong. Apple does not have "full" patents, their patents are mostly tweaks to something else that exists in another form. They are just their own proprietary tweaks/extensions, but the world can work around them just fine (like it has been doing).
On the other hand, Apple relies heavily on the patents of those who actually invented the core technology. Those are the patents that some companies like Motorola have (for instance, to their GSM and CDMA radios).
In short (and applying it to your point), Motorola can do just fine without the proprietary tweaks that Apple made to Capacitive and Multitouch displays.
Yet Apple cannot live without most of their competitors patents, because those are core technologies (not tweaks) which are absolutely indispensable to a phone (is it really a phone if you cannot make calls because you do not have either GSM or CDMA?)
