00:02A federal jury in San Diego awarded Taction Technology more than $5.7 billion in damages
00:08Friday after finding Apple infringed claims from two haptics patents, according to CNBC.
00:15Taction sued Apple in 2021, alleging the company improperly used its vibration technology and
00:21devices featuring the Taptic Engine. Apple initially won dismissal of the case in 2023
00:26before the federal circuit revived it. Apple said it strongly disagrees with the verdict
00:31and damages award, arguing its Taptic Engine is fundamentally different from Taction's
00:36technology. The tech giant plans to appeal. Taction's lead counsel said the jury vindicated
00:42the company's patent rights after a five and a half year wait for trial. The jury did not
00:47find Apple's infringement willful. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
