Harsh legal showdown for Apple... $5.7 billion at stake

A US jury ordered Apple to pay more than $5.7 billion after it was accused of infringing two patents held by Taction Technology related to the "Taptic" engine technology used for vibration alerts in iPhones and Apple Watches. Apple told CNBC it does not agree with the ruling issued last Friday and intends to appeal, denying that it used the plaintiff's technology. The jury concluded that the infringement was not willful, which prevented the damages from being tripled.
