VirnetX contended in the suit that Apple VPN On Demand functions used its patented technology.

A jury in Texas on Friday, October 30, decided Apple should pay $503 million for infringing virtual private network technology patented by software security firm VirnetX.

The legal battle between Apple and Nevada-based VirnetX involved data transmission security in devices such as the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, according to court documents. "We thank the jury for their time and appreciate their consideration but are disappointed with the verdict and plan to appeal," Apple said in reply to an Agence France-Presse inquiry.

"This case has been going on for over a decade, with patents that are unrelated to the core operations of our products and have been found to be invalid by the patent office."VirnetX is based in Nevada, but patent suits are typically filed in states where jurors have been found more inclined to rule against Silicon Valley giants.
