Apple (AAPL, $146.06) faces second patent infringement lawsuit from Parus

Apple got slapped with a patent infringement lawsuit by  Parus Holdings.  This is the second one from Parus against the iPhone maker alleging that the latter infringed on its patents for voice-browsing and device control technology.

The lawsuit against Apple alleges that the computer company infringed on its U.S. Patent Nos. 6,721,705 and 8,185,402 for voice-browsing and device control technology. Damages cited by Parus against Apple include infringing sales. According to the lawsuit, the infringement has been "willful."

Parus requested that Apple be ordered to pay treble damages and Parus' attorneys' fees, and be permanently prohibited from infringing its patents.

In July 2019, Parus filed three patent infringement lawsuits in the Western District of Texas against Apple, Samsung Electronics, and Alphabet’s Google  regarding its U.S. patents 9,451,084 and 7,076,431 for voice-user interface technologies. The company also filed a lawsuit against LG Electronics in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

AtlasClear Holdings (ATCH) shares fell roughly 25.5% over the last 30 days, declining from $0.1881 on October 2 to $0.1401 on October 30. The pullback extended a longer downtrend that has kept the stock trading well below the $1.00 NYSE American minimum, keeping continued listing-compliance risk in focus.
XRPN fell -9.70% in early regular-session trading on Tuesday, sliding from Monday's $10.41 close to $9.40. The decline follows a November 9 SEC prospectus disclosing a committed equity facility with Cantor to sell up to 5.2 million new Class A shares at 97% of the volume-weighted average price, implying up to roughly 16.7% potential dilution.
CCAP climbed +7.03% during regular market hours, rising from a prior close of $9.24 to $9.89. The rally followed its Q3 2026 report: net investment income of $0.37/share beat the $0.35 consensus and revenue of $36.9M topped estimates, alongside a new $50M buyback authorization plus up to $25M in additional Sun Life purchases.
NVDA fell -2.10% to $216.66 during regular trading, down from a prior close of $221.30. Primary catalyst: hotter-than-expected September CPI data reignited Fed rate-hike fears, raising borrowing costs for AI infrastructure buildouts.
NVDA dropped from Friday's close of $186.64 to $174.06 intraday, down -6.74%, during regular market hours. The slide followed CEO Jensen Huang's admission of an extramarital affair and the board's independent investigation, announced November 8, after reports he was targeted by a suspected Chinese intelligence operative.
