In July Patently Apple posted a report titled "Apple Loses University of Wisconsin-Madison Patent Case & ordered to pay Millions more for ongoing Infringement." Patently Apple first covered the patent infringement case brought on by the University of Wisconsin-Madison back in 2014.

In an opening brief filed Friday and made public this week, the tech giant argued that virtually every aspect of the jury verdict and post-trial rulings in the Western District of Wisconsin was flawed, from the findings on infringement and validity to WARF's "prejudicially inflated" damages theory.
