A United States jury has ordered Apple to pay over $234 million in damages to the patent licensing unit of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as the tech giant was found guilty of patent infringement.
The amount is less than what the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation was trying to claim, after the jury said earlier in the week that Apple infringed the university's patent for the improvement of computer processors.
Specifically, the jury found that the A7, A8 and A8X processors used by Apple in the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, along with several models of the iPad, utilized unlicensed technology that is owned by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation.
The dispute is not over yet though, as the university has lodged another lawsuit against Apple, this time for the newest microchips that were used in the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and iPad Pro.
