A United States jury found Tuesday that Apple wrongfully used technology owned by the University of Wisconsin-Madison in chips found in many Apple devices. The company could face up to $862 million in damages. The chips found were Apple’s A7, A8 and A8X processors, found in the iPhone 5s, 6, 6 Plus and several versions of the iPad. Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation also sued Apple in January 2014 alleging infringement of the 1998 patent for improving chip efficiency.
