`
`62 NEC and Aastra have entered into a license agreement with VirnetX and
`
`have been dismissed from this case. The Cisco portion of the case has concluded
`
`with a final judgment. The only remaining defendant in this case is Apple. The
`
`district court entered judgment in favor of VirnetX against Apple. On September
`
`16, 2014, the Federal Circuit affirmed-in-part, reversed-in-part, vacated-in-part,
`
`and remanded for further proceedings in the district court. On October 16, 2014,
`
`VirnetX petitioned for rehearing of the Federal Circuit’s decision. On December
`
`16, 2014, the Federal Circuit denied the petition for rehearing.

`63 The ’135 patent is not at issue in Case No. 6:11-cv-00563, but is at issue
`
`in the consolidated case.
