Apple, Broadcom must pay CalTech $1.1B for patent infringement

蘋果、博通因為專利侵權必須要賠加州理工 11億

A jury on Wednesday ordered Apple and component supplier Broadcom to pay the
California Institute of Technology $1.1 billion for infringing the
university's patents.

法官要求蘋果和博通因為專利侵權要賠加州理工11億美元

The technology relates to Wi-Fi chips Apple used in its iPhones, iPads, Macs
and other devices from 2010 to 2017. Apple in court filings has argued that
it shouldn't have been involved in the lawsuit -- which was filed in 2016 --
because it's using off-the-shelf Broadcom chips, like many other handset
makers.

蘋果過去產品的wifi技術都用到了這個專利。蘋果說這不干它的事，它只是用
博通的晶片。

"Caltech's claims against Apple are based solely on the incorporation of
allegedly infringing Broadcom chips in Apple's iPhone, Mac, and other devices
that support 802.11n or 802.11ac," Apple argued. "Broadcom manufactures the
accused chips, while Apple is merely an indirect downstream party whose
products incorporate the accused chips."

加州理工完全根據蘋果產品裡面有wifi 4,5侵權的晶片來告它。
蘋果說：博通造了侵權的晶片，我只是被動侵權

Still, a jury disagreed and ruled that Apple must pay Caltech $837.8 million,
and Broadcom must pay $270.2 million, according to Reuters.

法官顯然並不同意，要求蘋果付加州理工8.37億，博通要付2.7億



心得：

拿了一堆錢還是只會去種花蓋房子啦～

學校wifi還是一樣爛

研究經費還是課70%的稅
