In June 2014 Patently Legal covered a 5 count patent infringement lawsuit filed by WiLAN. An update to the report in April U.S. District Judge Rodney Gilstrap ruled that certain claims in one of the patents were invalidated. In October 2014 it was reported that a judge had ruled in Apple's favor to have two patents invalidated.

Late tonight WiLAN posted a press release stating: "In a trial verdict rendered on August 1, 2018 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California a jury awarded WiLAN $145.1 million in damages against Apple Inc. for infringement of WiLAN's US patent Numbers 8,457,145 and 8,537,757."

Apple has yet to respond to the verdict.
