Kunyaka ophelileyo iApple yayi ummangalelwa ngu 'Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation' (WARF), le yaphehlelelwa ukukhusela iYunivesithi yaseWisconsin kwipropathi enomgangatho ophezulu wokuqonda, kubandakanya namalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza.
Elo tyala laziswa ngokuchasene neApple ngenxa yenkolelo yokuba iApple isebenzisa iteknoloji yaseyunivesithi kwiinkqubo zayo. A7, A8 kunye ne-A8X, ezibandakanyiweyo kwiimveliso ezisusela emva I-iPhone kunye ne-iPad ukusuka ngo-2013 ukuya ku-2014. Ijaji ephethe ityala ngokuchasene no-Apple, ifikelele kwisigqibo esineenkcukacha emva kokuba uqhubeke nokufunda.
Ngokwesigwebo sakutshanje seJaji yeSithili sase-US uWilliam Conley, ophethe ityala, u-Apple unokuba noxanduva lokufumana i-862,4 yezigidi zeedola.
Ngokwenxalenye yayo, uApple wayethe ilungelo lobunikazi i-WARF ikholelwa ukuba i-Apple iyaphula umthetho ibingasebenzi, kwaye ke ayinakuphulwa. Ijaji yagweba ngenye indlela, ithi i-patent yayisemthethweni. Ngokumalunga nelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza ekubhekiswa kulo, ebelifakwe kuqala 1998 kwaye ubizwa ngokuba, Msgstr "Isekethe yedatha esekwe kwidatha yokuqhubekeka ngokuhambelana nekhompyuter", igubungela indlela yokuphucula ukusebenza kweeprosesa.
Ngelixa esi sisigqibo esibalulekileyo, eneneni Kukho amanye amanqanaba amabini de isigwebo sikhutshwe. Ngoku ukuba ijaji ifumene iApple unetyala lokophula umthetho welungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza, Inqanaba elilandelayo lovavanyo liza kugxila kwinto ekufuneka yenziwe ngu-Apple hlawula umonakalo owenziwe. Ukongeza, ijaji iya kuba nomsebenzi wokumisela ukuba I-Apple yaphule umthetho welungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza. Ukuba bathatha isigqibo sokuba u-Apple uyenzile, imali yokuhlawula inokunyuka kancinci.
