Apple fights call to block Facetime and iMessage

[schumi]

A patent-licensing firm is seeking to force Apple to suspend its Facetime and iMessage services claiming it has suffered "irreparable harm" as a result of the tech giant's actions.

VirnetX was awarded $625m (£426m) in February after a jury found Apple had wilfully infringed four of its patents.

The Texas-based firm is now seeking further damages and says Apple should be blocked from using its technologies to power its video and text chat apps.

Apple is contesting the case.
