Tomas Chlebek Tan iyo 2010, murannada shatiga ee u dhexeeya Apple iyo shirkadda VirnetX, oo ku takhasustay lahaanshaha patentka iyo dacwooyinka ka dhanka ah shirkadaha ku xad-gudbay, ayaa socday. Dacwooyinkeedii hore ee ku guulaysta waxay khuseeyaan, tusaale ahaan, Microsoft, Cisco, Siemens, iwm.
Go’aankan ayaa shalay laga soo saaray maxkamadda federaalka ee gobolka Bariga Texas, taasoo caan ku ah saaxiibtinimada mulkiilayaasha patent-ka. VirnetX sidoo kale waxay soo gudbisay qaar ka mid ah dacwooyinkii hore loo sheegay isla degmada.
Dacwadii asalka ahayd ee VirnetX ay Apple kaga dacwaysay hab-maamuusyada isgaarsiineed ee sugan ayaa la xaliyay bishii Abriil 2012, markii dacwoodaha la siiyay $368,2 milyan oo ah waxyeelada hantida garaadka. Sababtoo ah dacwadda waxay ku lug leedahay labadaba sifooyinka laftooda iyo alaabooyinka iyaga bixiya, VirnetX waxay ku dhowdahay inay bixiso boqolkiiba faa'iidada iPhones iyo Macs.
Apple waxay leedahay FaceTime tan iyo markaas dib loo shaqeeyay, laakiin bishii Sebtembar 2014-kii xukunkii asalka ahaa waa la buriyay sababtuna ay tahay eedaymo la sheegay in la xisaabiyay oo khasaare ah. Geedi socodka dib u cusboonaysiinta, VirnetX waxay waydiisatay $ 532 milyan, taas oo la sii kordhiyey ilaa hadda oo ah $ 625,6 milyan. Tani waxay tixgalinaysaa sii socoshada eedaymaha ee ku xadgudubka badheedhka ah ee shatiyada kuwaas oo ah mawduuca muranka.
Ka hor inta aan la xukumin, Apple ayaa la sheegay in ay u gudbisay codsi garsooraha degmada Robert Schroeder si uu ugu dhawaaqo in maxkamaddu tahay mid khaldan sababtoo ah been-abuurka iyo jahwareerka qareennada VirnetX ee xiritaanka doodaha. Schroeder ayaan weli si rasmi ah uga hadlin codsiga.
