In a recent court filing, patent holding company VirnetX has asked the judge presiding over its patent-infringement lawsuit against tech giant Apple to increase the damages in the case by a minimum of $190 million.

VirnetX’s recent request to the court to bump up the damages in its patent-infringement lawsuit against Apple comes a few months after the company won a $625 million ruling, from an East Texas jury, in the case in February this year.

Along with seeking an increase in damages from Apple in the patent-infringement case, VirnetX has also urged the judge to issue a permanent injunction which will force Apple to eliminate a few key features -- including Facetime, iMessage, and always-mode VPN On Demand -- from its devices in the future.

VirnetX’s patent-infringement lawsuit against Apple chiefly pivots around four patents owned by the company, and allegedly violated by Apple. The lawsuit was filed by VirnetX in 2012, in the U.S. District Court in Eastern Texas.

While VirnetX wants the court to increase the $625 milllion award in the patent-infringement case by another $190 million, Apple is already appealing the February ruling. Moreover, Apple has also filed for a mistrial, by claiming that the closing arguments made by VirnetX attorneys were "outside the evidence and blatantly misrepresented the testimony of Apple's witnesses."
