This case demonstrates how expert testimony can define the outcome of complex technology disputes. When technical innovation meets legal interpretation, clarity, accuracy, and sound methodology make all the difference.
Expert witnesses played a vital role at every stage, from analyzing network protocols and source code to building defensible damages models under the Georgia-Pacific framework.
Multiple juries initially found Apple liable, with damages reaching over $500 million before the Federal Circuit later invalidated key patent claims.
The VirnetX v. Apple case highlights how software patent litigation can evolve across years of trials, appeals, and administrative reviews. In 2010, the dispute centered on whether Apple’s FaceTime and VPN-on-Demand features infringed VirnetX’s patents related to secure internet communications.
“The right expert explains what happened, why it happened and what it means: drawing a picture step by step, evidence-tethered and courtroom-ready. That’s how attorneys turn complex technical issues into clear, defensible arguments.”
“In high-stakes matters, clarity wins,” added Emily Steenwyk, Director at ForensisGroup.
“Attorneys build cases; experts illuminate them,” said Mercy Steenwyk, CEO & Founder of ForensisGroup.

“From cause-and-origin to economic loss, the expert’s job is to connect the dots - methodically and transparently - so decision-makers can see Nothing But the Truth®.”
