Who wouldn’t be impressed when learning that Brad Caldwell won this week a $625 million verdict against Apple Inc. for his plaintiff client, VirnetX Inc.?

But Caldwell, a principal in Dallas’ Caldwell, Cassady & Curry, has no illusions that the verdict—one of the largest an East Texas federal jury ever issued—will end the lengthy litigation saga between the two companies. Indeed, the eight-day trial this month was itself a redo.
