A US federal jury has awarded Taction Technology more than $5.7 billion in damages after finding Apple infringed on haptics patents. The jury ruled that Apple's Taptic Engine, which provides haptic feedback in iPhones and Apple Watches, infringed on two Taction patents.
According to Investing.com, Apple plans to appeal the verdict, stating that it "does not use Taction's technology". The company also claimed that its Taptic Engine is "fundamentally different" from Taction's technology.
