Supreme Court Rejects Apple-Broadcom's Challenge to Caltech Patents.

The US Supreme Court rejected an appeal by Apple and Broadcom to revive their challenges to Caltech data-transmission patents in a patent infringement case. The earlier $1.1 billion jury verdict against the companies was thrown out. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled against the companies' arguments because they failed to bring them up during earlier proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
