Apple Loses Patent Lawsuit, Could End Paying About A Billion Dollars In Damages by Superstar007(m): 12:55pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
A U.S jury has ruled that Apple used technology patented by the University of Wisconsin - Madison in its iPhones and iPad processors. The Wisconsin Alumni Research foundation sued Apple (WARF) sued Apple in January 2014 alleging that A7, A8, A8X processors used in the IPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and 6 plus as well as many versions of the iPad used technology developed by the University and patented in 1998. Apple Inc. had denied infringing on the patent and had previously petitioned the U.S Patent and Trademark Office to review the patent's validity but the bid was rejected by the Agency in April. According to a ruling by U.S. District Judge, William Conley presiding over the case, Apple could be liable for up to $862.4 in damages for the use of the technology. The figure may go up if the company is found to have infringed on the patent willingly. The same patent has been used to sue a major technology company, it was used against Intel, although Intel settled on the eve of the trial. Last month, WARF sued Apple again for its use of the technology in its newest A9 and A9X chips used in it recently released iPhone 6s, 6s plus and the iPad pro.
