Apple Hit With $5.7 Billion Patent Verdict Over Haptic Technology
A San Diego federal jury found Apple infringed Taction Technology patents tied to vibration feedback in the iPhone and Apple Watch.
Apple was ordered to pay more than $5.7 billion after a federal jury in San Diego found the company infringed Taction Technology patents covering haptic feedback in the iPhone and Apple Watch.
The patents concern vibration technology used to provide touch feedback on Apple devices.
Apple plans to appeal the decision. The company said its Taptic Engine, the technology used for haptic feedback in its devices, differs from Taction Technology’s patented technology.
The case centers on whether Apple’s implementation of vibration-based feedback infringed Taction’s patents.
