IZiko leTekhnoloji laseCalifornia, elaziwa njenge I-CalTech, yamangalela i-Apple kunye ne-Broadcom ngo-2016 yokusebenzisa iteknoloji engenazingcingo eyenziwe ngabo bobabini kwi-iPhone, njengakwi-iPad, Apple Watch, AirPort nakwii-Macs.Isigwebo setyala elabanjwa kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo sele sipapashiwe kwaye hayi iindaba ezimnandi zeApple.
Bobabini u-Apple kunye no-Broadcom bagwetyelwe ukuhlawula ngokudibeneyo iZiko laseCalifornia leTekhnoloji i-1.100 yezigidigidi zeedola. I-Apple iya kuthatha isixa esikhulu se-838.8 yezigidi zeedola ngelixa i-Broadcom iya kuthatha ezinye i-270.2 yezigidi zeedola.
Isigwebo sejaji sisigqibo sesithandathu ngobuninzi belungelo elilodwa lomenzi ngalo lonke ixesha, isigwebo ekucacayo ukuba, iApple okanye iBroadcom ayivumelani kwaye sele ibhengezile isigqibo sokubhena. UApple ubanga ukuba ngelixa yayisebenzisa iichips zeBroadcom ezisebenzisa itekhnoloji yeCalTech, akufuneki abenoxanduva lokophula umthetho.
Nangona kunjalo, ijaji ayiqwalaselanga ezo mpikiswano kwaye yafumanisa iApple inetyala nje ngokuba yi-Broadcom yokusebenzisa ezo chips. Amagqwetha wazo zombini iinkampani akhanyele nakuphi na ukungalunganga, esithi elo ziko Awunalungelo lokufumana umonakalo omkhulu, nokuba ukhona.
Isithethi seCalTech sithi bonwabile sisigqibo sejaji esongeza ukuba isikolo uzibophelele ekukhuseleni ipropathi enomgangatho ophezulu wokuqonda ukukhuthaza injongo yayo yokwandisa ulwazi lomntu kunye nokunceda uluntu ngophando oluhlanganisiweyo kwezemfundo.
Esi sigwebo yenye yezona zinkulu ngokuchasene neApple kuyo yonke imbali yayo kwaye ayinxulunyaniswa netroli patent, iinkampani ezithenga ezincinci ezinamalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza eziza kuthi shwaka ukumangalela ezinkulu kwaye zifumane ukusikwa okubonakalayo.
