Apple was ordered to pay $837 million and Broadcom must pay $270 million to the California Institute of Technology.
"Caltech appreciates the jury's thoughtful attention throughout the trial," the university said in a statement. "We are pleased the jury found that Apple and Broadcom infringed Caltech patents.
