Security software firm VirnetX said in a statement the jury in a federal court in Texas ordered the payment "for infringing four VirnetX patents" and that the court will hear post-trial motions in the upcoming weeks.

PUBLISHED: | UPDATED:

Apple and Amazon are among major tech companies that have not publicly released their federal workforce report, notes USA Today.

As Jessica Guynn writes, some companies are more transparent than others.

Google, Facebook, Yahoo and LinkedIn released their most recent federal report, known as the EEO-1, when they revealed information about their workforce demographics this year.

Twitter recently released its EEO-1. Microsoft announced it would release its report this month. Intel has long released its report. (We have a one-stop for all diversity reports of major tech companies).

But many companies have not, as I wrote in a column in August. They included major Bay Area employers such as Tesla, Salesforce.com, Cisco and VMware. The Mercury News asked roughly 30 companies to make public both their most recent report and one from 2004.

What will be interesting in 2015 is whether companies report any change in their workforce demographics.
