SAN FRANCISCO The jury of a case against Apple in the US estimated Friday that the US software group must pay $ 234 million for violating a patent on Integrated University of Wisconsin technologies.

The trial began last week and was established that Apple violated the intellectual property concerning ways to improve the effectiveness and performance of computer processors.

The judges, however, had not ruled on the amount of the financial penalty.

In its complaint, filed in early 2014, the university explained that these technologies were integrated “unauthorized manner” the A7 iPhone 5S, iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina display processor, on sale since last year.

Apple attempted to demonstrate that the patent at issue was invalid, but the jury rejected his argument.

An Apple spokeswoman contacted Friday by AFP declined to comment on the ruling, but confirmed that the group would appeal it.

“The jury recognized the pioneering work on processors that took place on our campus”, welcomed in a statement Carl Gulbrandsen, who heads the foundation’s research University (WARF), and greeted “very good news for inventors” and recognition of the “hard work” of university researchers.
