A U.S. jury has ordered Apple to pay $234 million for infringing on a patent held by the University of Wisconsin-Madison for improving processor performance, reports Reuters. The amount was less than the $400 million the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) was claiming in damages after the jury on Tuesday said Apple (AAPL.O) infringed its patent for improving the performance of computer processors.The jurors deliberated for 3.5 hours before returning the verdict. They were asked to decide if the A7, A8 and A8X processors found in the iPhone 5s, 6 and 6 Plus, and some iPads, violated the patents.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
