Apple has filed an appeal against the $5.7 billion verdict awarded by a jury in the ongoing patent infringement case against Taction Technology. The tech giant argues that the jury's decision was based on "guesswork" and that the findings themselves are contradictory. The lawsuit, filed in April 2021, accused Apple of infringing on two Taction patents related to haptic feedback technology.
