Judge wipes out patent troll’s $625M verdict against Apple
Back in 2013, Apple had to redesign FaceTime to use server relayed connections instead of peer-to-peer to circumvent VirnetX's patent(s) [1]. I wonder if, after this verdict, they will (and are allowed to) undo this change and start doing peer-to-peer again; Apple will probably have invested quite a lot in their (cloud) infrastructure to support these server relayed connections.<p>[1] <a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/08/report-after-patent-loss-apple-tweaks-facetime-and-logs-500000-complaints/" rel="nofollow">http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/08/report-after-pate...</a>
