<p>Infamous patent troll VirnetX has formally asked a Texas court this week to order Apple to stop providing its FaceTime and iMessage features to customers. The request follows VirnetX’s victory in court earlier this year (http://9to5mac.com/2016/02/03/apple-virnetx-ruling/) to the tune of $625 million, which the firm wants to see increased by $190 million or more, Law360 reports (http://www.law360.com/technology/articles/796999/virnetx-wants-apple-s-facetime-stopped-after-625m-win):</p>
