Apple will pay (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/network-1-an**unces-settlement-of-patent-litigation-with-apple-inc-300296095.html) $25 million to settle a patent lawsuit with Network-1 Tech**logies' subsidiary Mirror World Tech**logies and license its patents, the companies an**unced today. The patent (http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6,006,227.PN.&OS=PN/6,006,227&RS=PN/6,006,227)*(**. 6,006,227)*dates back to 1999, covering a system that stores documents in a stream ordered chro**logically, similar to Apple's Cover Flow or Time Machine.
http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2016/07/timemachine.pngUnder the terms of the agreement, Apple will receive a fully paid up **n-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 tech**logies described in the patent were developed from the work of Yale University computer scientist Professor David Gelernter and his then-graduate student Dr. Eric Freeman in 1996. They then founded Mirror Worlds LLC, which began a long-running legal fight with Apple over the patent. In 2010, Apple was hit with a $625 million judgment (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/10/04/apple-hit-with-625-million-judgment-in-patent-suit-over-cover-flow-spotlight-time-machine/) over the patent. A year later, Apple won a reversal (http://www.macrumors.com/2011/04/04/apple-wins-reversal-of-625-million-patent-judgement-over-cover-flow-spotlight-and-time-machine/) of the decision and the judge closed the case in Apple's favor.
In 2013, Mirror Worlds was purchased by Network-1 and the company acquired Mirror World's patents. Network-1 describes itself as a company "engaged in the development, licensing and protection of its intellectual property and proprietary tech**logies." Last year, the company also reached a settlement (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/network-1-an**unces-settlement-of-patent-litigation-with-microsoft-corporation-300174603.html) with Microsoft for $4.6 million over the same patent.
