14 DAY TRIAL // VirnetX Holding Corporation, a technology company alleging that Apple is infringing on its patents, proudly announced today that the USPTO recognized two more patents, which conveniently allow it to target the iPhone 5.
The firm stated this week that it had been granted two new patents by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Those are:
U.S. Patent No. 8,504,696 ("'696 patent"), which describes a “System and Method Employing an Agile Network Protocol for Secure Communications Using Secure Domain Names [...] and U.S. Patent No. 8,504,697 ("'697 patent"), officially titled “System and Method Employing an Agile Network Protocol for Secure Communications Using Secure Domain Names.”
After the USPTO granted VirnetX these patents, the firm filed papers with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas seeking to add new allegations that Apple Inc. infringed the latter patent (697).
The “infringing” products, as they say, are the iPhone 5, the fifh-generation iPod Touch, the fourth-generation iPad, the iPad mini and the latest Macs.
