Back in February, tech giant Apple was ordered by a United States court judge to pay $625 million to VirnetX over a patent infringement suit involving iMessage and FaceTime services. Apple appealed the decision, claiming that the patents that were brought by VirnetX to court were not valid. On Friday, Apple’s appeal was repealed and the company was told to pay more than $302 million in damages.
