The court does not agree with you. A peer to peer communication service, like FaceTime was originally, violates the patents.



Ok, so : when was this patent approved, and when does it expire ?


I think this year but I suggest you look it up yourself, they probably are mentioned in the court documents and the dates are public.


I can't find any specific dates (and I'm not going to go fishing into court documents), but wow, this has been going on for more than a decade now !
