Company used University of Wisconsin-Madison’s microchip technology in some iPhones and iPads without permission

A US jury has ordered Apple Inc to pay the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s patent licensing arm more than $234m (£151.5m) in damages for incorporating its microchip technology into some of the company’s iPhones and iPads without permission.

The amount imposed on Friday was less than the $400m the Wisconsin alumni research foundation (Warf) was claiming in damages, after the jury on Tuesday said Apple infringed its patent for improving the performance of computer processors.
