Washington – United States.-. A US federal jury today condemned Apple to pay more than $ 234 million for infringing a patent owned by a technology linked to the University of Wisconsin Foundation.

In the lawsuit, the foundation claimed Apple used patented technology in 1998 by the University of Wisconsin, inserted in several of its models of iPad and iPhone processors.
The jury ruled in favor of the foundation, although it reduced significantly the compensatory amount requesting Plaintiffs and amounting to a maximum of 862.4 million dollars.
On that same patent, the foundation also sued the company Intel in 2008 and the case was settled the following year in an amount not revealed.

Recently, a federal appeals court US Samsung said that Apple violated several patents, but the overall picture of the iPhone.
Apple today announced it will appeal the verdict, but declined to comment further on the matter.
