Cause someone will make this comment eventually: "Caltech" not "CalTech". :)

You beat me to it!
It’s honestly really sad that even _professional_ journalists don’t know how to spell it correctly :-(
Heck, they even copy/pasted from a Caltech statement which includes "Caltech" twice, so they had the correct spelling literally right in front of their faces on their screens as they wrote the story:

> “We are pleased the jury found that Apple and Broadcom infringed Caltech patents,” CalTech said in a statement. “As a non-profit institution of higher education, Caltech is committed to protecting its intellectual property in furtherance of its mission to expand human knowledge and benefit society through research integrated with education.”

https://www.caltech.edu/ tells the tale.

I've never seen it spelled CalTech in anything from the university nor from any techer.

"CalTech" used to be correct
Reference?
there are signs around campus that still use the old spelling.
