Patent disputes between technology companies are common and can result in large financial claims. Juries in the USA often award large amounts of damages in such cases.
According to a verdict from a US jury, Apple is to pay a good $5.7 billion for violating two patents. In the process, the company Taction Technology accused the group of using its technology in the so-called “Taptic Engine”, which, for example, triggers the vibration alarms in the iPhone and the Apple Watch computer watch.
The jury saw a total of three points from the two patents violated. They awarded Taction exactly 5,721,961,750 dollars (currently a good five billion euros) for this. Apple announced on US broadcaster CNBC that it disagreed with the decision and would appeal. The group does not use Taction's technology.
It is not uncommon for juries to award large sums in patent trials. However, it also happens again and again that the amounts are sometimes significantly reduced in appeal proceedings. At the same time, the jury found that Apple had not intentionally infringed the patents. Otherwise the amount could have tripled.
