Apple to pay USD 31 million to Qualcomm in patent dispute

Qualcomm has made a big win after a San Diego jury found that Apple infringed three patents regarding the iPhone start-up and battery life.

The iPhone maker has been ordered to pay USD 1.41 per iPhone with patent infringement, which amounts to a total of about USD 31 million, Mashable has reported.

In response to the patent dispute, Apple has filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm for USD 1 billion, alleging the chipmaker is charging for intellectual property that it has no right to.
