NgoJanuwari ophelileyo, iApple kunye neBroadcom bafunyanwa benetyalaukophula inani lamalungelo abenzi beCaltech y ugwetywe ukuhlawula ngaphezulu kwesigidi esinye Ngokudibeneyo, iApple ithatha esona sixa sikhulu sesohlwayo, i-838 yezigidi zeedola. U-Apple ubhengeze isigqibo sakhe sokubhena kwisigqibo.
NgokweBloomberg Law kunye neReuters, iNkundla ePhakamileyo yeziBheno eUnited States, ugwebe ngokuchasene nesibheno esaphakanyiswa ngu-Apple ukuguqula isigwebo. I-Apple iyithethelele indlela yayo ngokugxila kwilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza 7.116.710, ilungelo lomenzi elithetha "ngendlela yokwenza umqondiso."
Okwangoku iinkcukacha ezaziphikiswa ngu-Apple xa waphakamisa ukuba isigwebo siyasuswa azaziwa, kodwa ngokweReuters, inkampani ityhola "izizathu zokucaca." Isimangalo sikaCaltech nxamnye noApple noBroadcom ichaphazele amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza amathathu, Zonke zinxulumene nokunxibelelana kwe-Wi-Fi kunye Isantya sokulinganisa kunye nezinto ezinjengobushushu, amandla, kunye nobukhulu be-chip.
U-Apple no-Broadcom bakukhanyele ukwaphulwa kwelungelo elilodwa lomenzi Ngexesha lokuxoxwa kwetyala ukongeza ekubuzeni indlela esetyenziswe ngamagqwetha kunye nejaji ukubeka isohlwayo kwi-1.100 yezigidigidi zeedola. Amagqwetha kaCaltech asekwe kwibango lentlawulo kwintengiso ye-Apple yezixhobo ezaphula amalungelo abo (i-598 yezigidi) kwaye phakathi kwazo kukho i-iPhone, i-iPad, iMac, iMac, i-Apple Watch, i-Apple TV, i-HomePod kunye neAirPorts.
Nangona iichips ziyilelwe kwaye zenziwa yi-Broadcomm, ijaji yafumanisa ukuba I-Apple yayisazi ukuba yayisetyenziswa njani itekhnoloji yeCaltechYiyo loo nto uninzi lwesohlwayo sithathiwe. Asazi ukuba iApple iceba ukuveza olunye uhlobo lwesibheno ukunciphisa i-838 yezigidi zeedola kufuneka ihlawule iCaltech ngolwaphulo-mthetho lwe-patent. Zonke ezinye, i-272 yezigidi zeedola, ziya kuthwalwa ngu-Broadcom.
