Apple found guilty of willful patent infringement
Apple has been ordered to pay $19 million to Opti Inc., a technology company based up the road in Palo Alto, for patent infringement. The verdict came out of Patent Lawsuit Valley (also known as the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Marshall) late Thursday, where a jury found that Apple had “willfully” infringed on Opti’s patent for “Predictive snooping.” The patent—its full name is ” Predictive snooping of cache memory for master-initiated accesses “—describes a method to more efficiently transfer data among the CPU, memory, and “other devices.” The patent was issued to Opti in June of 2002, and the company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Apple in January of 2007 (which we briefly mentioned in a Friday Apple links post that week).
