Under the terms of the agreement, Apple will receive a fully paid up non-exclusive license to the ‘227 Patent for its full term, which expired in 2016, along with certain rights to other patents in Network-1’s portfolio. Network-1 will receive $25 million from Apple for the settlement and fully paid up license.
The patent in question concerns a system for storing documents in a chronological stream akin to the way Apple’s Cover Flow, Spotlight and Time Machine in Mac OS X operate. The $25 million settlement comes after a legal battle that started in 2008, when Mirror Worlds accused Apple of infringing on four patents.In 2010, Apple was slammed with a $625 million judgment over the dispute. However, the following year, the Cupertino, California-based company won a reversal of the decision. The recent settlement involves only one patent included in the original complaint.
