A US jury ruled that Apple must pay San Diego-based Taction over $5.7 billion for infringing two patents related to haptic technology used in iPhones and Apple Watches.
Apple announced it will appeal the verdict, stating that its Taptic Engine is fundamentally different from Taction's technology.
Taction initially filed the lawsuit in 2021, and the case was revived last year by the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
