The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to Caltech’s Wi-Fi patents, and after a decade-long legal battle, Apple is finally on the hook for the billion-dollar verdict.
Decided on Monday, the Supreme Court justices elected not to continue dealing with an appeal by Apple and Broadcom over an earlier court ruling preventing the companies from contesting the California Institute of Technology’s Wi-Fi technology patents.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit previously ruled against arguments from the companies to say the patents were invalid, due to a failure to raise them during an earlier hearing at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Apple and Broadcom argued that they could raise the challenges during the trial, but with the Supreme Court’s action, the Appeals Court ruling stands.
