[Apple Ordered to Pay $5.7 Billion in Patent Lawsuit] According to Golden Finance, on September 28, a federal jury in San Diego, USA, ruled on Friday that Apple must pay over $5.7 billion in damages to Taction Technology for using the company's patented technology. This marks the highest patent damages award in U.S. history. Taction filed a lawsuit against Apple in 2021, claiming that Apple improperly leveraged Taction's innovation and success by selling devices that infringed on its touch technology. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2023, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit later reinstated the case. Apple has strongly opposed the federal jury's verdict and the damages amount, stating that the rulings and figures are entirely baseless. Apple argued that its haptic engine is fundamentally different from Taction's technology, and Taction's testing of Apple products during the trial also confirmed this. Apple maintains that it did not use Taction's technology and will file an appeal.
