WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The California Institute of Technology on Wednesday won a $1.1 billion jury verdict in a patent case against Apple <AAPL.O> and Broadcom <AVGO.O>, a Caltech legal team source said.
The Pasadena, California-based research university alleged that Broadcom wi-fi chips used in hundreds of millions of Apple iPhones infringed patents relating to data transmission technology.
