Taction won a record-breaking $5.7 billion verdict against Apple for patent infringement related to haptic feedback in iPhone and Apple Watch sales. Despite Apple’s appeal, Taction is now seeking additional damages for sales made in the second half of 2026, arguing the original award only covered 2021 to March 2026. The company also requests hundreds of millions in prejudgment interest at California’s 7% statutory rate, which could add a significant sum to the existing award.
Apple denies wrongdoing and maintains the jury’s verdict was flawed, claiming it lacks proper damages calculation and plans to pursue summary judgment. Taction insists the size of the award should not prevent interest accrual. The legal battle continues as both sides prepare for further proceedings.
