<p>(Reuters) – The California Institute of Technology has reached a “potential settlement” in a high-stakes patent infringement lawsuit against Apple (NASDAQ:) and Broadcom (NASDAQ:) over Wi-Fi chips, according to a Thursday filing in federal court.</p>
<p>Caltech previously won a verdict of more than $1.1 billion from Apple and Broadcom in the case that was later overturned.</p>
<p>The potential settlement was disclosed in a court document filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles without further details following a telephone conference. It was unclear if the agreement involved both Apple and Broadcom. </p>
<p>Representatives for Caltech, Apple and Broadcom did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The court ordered the parties to file a joint status report by Aug. 18.</p>
<p>Pasadena, California-based Caltech sued Apple and Broadcom in 2016, alleging that millions of iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches and other Apple devices using Broadcom chips infringed its wireless-communication patents. A jury ordered Apple to pay $837.8 million and Broadcom to pay $270.2 million in patent-infringement damages in 2020. </p>
<p>A U.S. appeals court overturned the award last year and ordered a new trial on damages, finding the amount was “legally unsupportable.” A trial that had been scheduled to begin in June 2023 was postponed indefinitely in May.</p>
<p>Caltech told a Texas federal court on Tuesday that it had settled a related lawsuit against Samsung (KS:). The university has also sued Microsoft (NASDAQ:), Dell and HP (NYSE:) over its Wi-Fi patents in cases that are pending. </p>
