The U.S. Supreme Court, in a move shrouded in mystery, declined to entertain ESET’s appeal. The courtroom atmosphere was electric, charged with anticipation as each side prepared its aces.

Finally, the jury sided with ESET. In a statement bursting with gratitude, Nicola Pisano from ESET’s counsel expressed their heartfelt thanks. As for Finjan, they remain silent, leaving the tech community in nail-biting suspense.
