Terrible thing karma

Apple has been told by a jury to stop messing around and pay up for some technology it stole from a Canadian outfit – WiLan.

A federal jury in California has awarded Canadian patent licensing company WiLan Inc $145.1 million in damages against Apple for patent infringement.

In a trial verdict rendered on August 1, 2018 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California a jury awarded WiLAN $145.1 million in damages against Apple Inc. for infringement of WiLAN's US patent Nos 8,457,145 and 8,537,757.

The jury in San Diego determined that versions of Apple’s iPhone infringed two WiLan patents relating to wireless communications technology, WiLan.

It is the second time that Apple has battled against this particular company In 2013, a US jury ruled in favour of Apple in a separate lawsuit in which WiLan had sought $248 million in damages.

Of course, Apple invented everything so it is going to appeal to the highest court in the land.

The Tame Apple Press has been doing its best to portray WiLan as a patent troll without actually using the words.

“Founded in 1992 as a producer of broadband wireless technologies, Ottawa-based WiLan has shifted focus to licensing an extensive patent portfolio”, wrote Reuters.
