VirnetX also notes in its Backgrounder that it acquired a patent 
portfolio and a team of engineers from SAIC <http://www.saic.com/about/> 
in 2006, and that: "It now serves as the foundation of our planned 
licensing and service offerings. We expect to derive the majority of our 
revenue from license fees and royalties associated with these patents."

     VirnetX has a lot of lawyers and has sued with success Microsoft.
