Last January, a federal court announcement was issued for one of the different trials Apple faces, every year. The patent case that started in 2016 n it was not a respect for patents, but from Caltech, California Institute of Technology.
The judge's decision, and that was confirmed by the judge, a lawsuit to pay Apple and Broadcom, $ 1,100 million
The complaint requested that the amount used to calculate compensation be paid will reconsider, the application was ultimately unsuccessful and both companies will have to pay the agreed price last January on a sentence, with no one to reduce.
The judge calculates compensation based on the number of devices they used the Carltech patents that Apple had put in the market
During the trial, he indicated that they were not in breach of copyright, but it was Broadcom, a chip maker, however, that executives considered Apple's ability to use Caltech technology and use it without reaching a previous agreement with the California Institute of Technology.
The chip associated with this need is the one that has to do with Wi-Fi connection and its functionality in specific locations and conditions. At the moment, we don't know if Apple's lawyers have any idea Install another application trying to reduce the prison population or if they will eventually accept and focus on some of the issues Apple is constantly facing.
