A Texas District Court found Apple Computers guilty of “willfully” violating three patent claims associated with predictive snooping of cache member that moves data between computer components including the processor and memory modules. Apple maintained the patent was invalid because of the obviousness of the involved processes. OPTi Inc. now earns most of its revenue from patent related royalties. Apple did not comment on the ruling.
