The patent dispute between Caltech, Apple, and Broadcom over Wi-Fi chips has ended with a settlement. Caltech filed to dismiss the case, which cannot be filed again. The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed. The lawsuit was originally filed in 2016, alleging infringement of Wi-Fi patents by Apple’s devices. Apple countersued but was unsuccessful. A jury ruled in favour of Caltech in 2020, ordering Apple to pay $838 million and Broadcom $270 million.
