Re: Are VirnetX actually Trolls?
Per Wikipedia:
VirnetX was founded by Dr. Robert Dunham Short III a former engineer and executive from Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) a company, which developed security technology for the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies.[3] All of the patents held by VirnetX were co-invented by Dr. Short, VirtnetX's Founder and Chief Technology Officer.[4]
So this is a bona fide commercial products and services company, using patents to protect its own in house developed inventions to operate its own actual business.
