Taction Seeks Hundreds of Millions More From Apple in Patent Case
The patent holder wants damages extended to cover iPhone and Apple Watch sales from March to September 2026, plus prejudgment interest.
Taction has asked a federal judge to order Apple to pay hundreds of millions of dollars more in damages in its patent case, according to appleinsider.com. The request covers iPhone and Apple Watch sales made from March to September 2026, along with prejudgment interest.
Taction argues that the damages already awarded in the case account only for sales from 2021 through March 2026, and should be extended to cover the six months that follow.
The push for additional damages follows a jury verdict that found Apple infringed two of Taction's patents but did not do so willingly. In October 2025, the jury set a $5.7 billion verdict in the case.
Apple denies any wrongdoing and is challenging the verdict.
