Apple ordered to pay $5.7bn in haptic tech patent case
Apple has been ordered to pay $5.7 billion in a patent case over haptic technology, the vibration and touch-feedback systems used in its iPhones and other devices, according to a BBC report. The ruling, if upheld, would be one of the largest patent damages awards against a technology company, and it is expected to be challenged on appeal.
Why now: A multibillion-dollar damages ruling against Apple naturally draws widespread attention from tech, legal and investor audiences.
