A California jury has ordered Apple to pay more than $5.7 billion after finding the company infringed two patents held by Taction Technology, a San Diego-based firm, related to haptic feedback — the vibrations felt by users when they receive a notification or press a button on an iPhone. The verdict, delivered on Friday, is the result of a lawsuit filed by Taction in 2021, though the case was initially dismissed by a federal judge in 2023 before an appeals court revived it last year. Apple, whose shares fell around two percent on Monday, said it plans to appeal, arguing its Taptic Engine technology is fundamentally different from Taction's patented inventions; the jury also found that Apple's infringement was not wilful.
