From
Reuters:</p>
<p>Apple Inc could be facing up to $862 million in damages after a U.S. jury on Tuesday found the iPhone maker used technology owned by the University of Wisconsin-Madison's licensing arm without permission in chips found in many of its most popular devices.</p>
<p>As Reuters notes, Apple had tried to have the patent in question invalidated by the USPTO, but its request was denied. Damages haven't yet been assessed, but the $862 million that WARF is seeking is quite a hefty sum.</p> <p>Source:
