Original: Apple Ordered to Pay $5.7 Billion in Haptic Technology Patent Case
Apple has been ordered to pay $5.7 billion in a patent dispute over haptic technology, the vibration and touch-feedback systems used in its iPhones and other devices. The ruling, one of the largest patent damages awards against the company, is drawing attention to ongoing intellectual property battles between major tech firms and patent holders, and Apple is expected to challenge the decision.
Why now: The sheer size of the damages award against one of the world's most valuable companies makes the ruling major technology news.
