federal court in US has asked Apple Inc to pay $234 million to University of Wisconsin for infringing a patent on microprocessor technology developed by the varsity's researchers, including two Indian-Americans.
he jury found that Apple infringed a Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation-owned (Warf) patent claiming an invention that significantly improves the efficiency and speed of computer processing. At the end of the two-week-long trial, after the jury concluded Apple's A7, A8 and A8X system on chip designs infringed the asserted claims of the 752 patent, it awarded Warf damages of $234 million. "We believed our technology was ahead of its time," said professor Gurindar Sohi, University of Wisconsin researcher, who along with three of his then graduate students — Andreas Moshovos, Scott Breach, Terani Vijaykumar had developed the technology which was patented on their behalf by the university.
"This is a case where the hard work of our university researchers and the integrity of patenting and licensing discoveries has prevailed," said Carl Gulbrandsen, managing director of Warf.
