TREE NEWS update: Apple has asked a federal judge in San Diego to overturn a $5.7 billion patent infringement verdict won by Taction Technology in September over haptic feedback technology in iPhones and Apple Watches. In an October 13 filing, Apple told the court the verdict “lacks any evidentiary support whatsoever.”
Apple Asks US Court to Overturn $5.7B Patent Verdict
AI take
The size of the award makes this more than routine patent litigation: a verdict of this scale against a core iPhone and Watch feature would be material for Apple's cost structure and for how aggressively it designs around third-party haptics IP. For Taction, the win is only as valuable as its survival on appeal, and Apple's evidentiary challenge goes to the heart of the damages case rather than a technical defense. Whether the court orders a new trial or reduces the award is the open question.
