Report: After patent loss, Apple tweaks FaceTime—and logs 500,000 complaints
8 10 2013The 2012 patent trial that grabbed the most headlines was Apple’s $1 billion win (since reduced) against Samsung. But Apple also suffered a major patent setback of its own last year when a patent-holding company called VirnetX won a $368 million verdict against the tech giant.
The consequences of Apple’s loss are now starting to become clear.
