Apple and Broadcom must pay $1.1 billion in damages for infringing CalTech’s patents on Wi-Fi transmissions, a California jury ordered Wednesday.

Apple was ordered to pay $838 million, while Broadcom was ordered to pay $270 million, according to lawyers for CalTech.

Apple said it planned to appeal the verdict. Broadcom didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

CalTech filed the lawsuit in 2016, claiming Broadcom Wi-Fi chips in Apple products infringed its patents. The Apple products cited were the iPhones iPads, iPods, Watches, Apple TVs, Macs, iMacs, HomePods, Macbooks and Airport routers.

The patents relate to coding systems that correct errors in the transmission of data used in the 802.11 Wi-Fi standard.Apple and Broadcom denied infringing the patents and said the school wasn’t entitled to significant damages even if they were using the inventions.

The only issues before the jury were whether the Broadcom chips used the university’s patents and, if so, how much in damages was owed.

Broadcom was long based in Orange County before it was bought in 2016 by Avago Ltd. for $37 billion. The Singapore-based tech firm moved the chipmaker’s headquarters to San Jose from Irvine. In 2018, the renamed Broadcom Ltd. shifted its corporate headquarters from Singapore to the U.S.

The case is California Institute of Technology v Broadcom Ltd., 16-2714, U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (Los Angeles).
