Last week, “patent trolls” notched another legal win against Apple in 2016. A Delaware federal jury ruled that the multinational technology company infringed on Mobile Media Ideas LLC’s mobile phone ring-silencing patent and should pay $3 million.

One could say that Apple got off “cheap” this time compared to the $24 million settlement it made with a “patent troll” this past April. Also, MobileMedia may be “disappointed” with the $3 million verdict as it was initially seeking $18 million in royalties.

According to Ars Technica, the back-and-forth battle that’s waged since 2010 may not be over. As with most “high-stakes patent cases,” Apple is likely appeal to the Federal Circuit. In this lengthy case, Apple has shown that it’s willing to go the long haul “to make its point.”
