Taction Technology has asked the court for supplemental damages, prejudgment interest, and ongoing royalties on future iPhone and Apple Watch sales, weeks after a jury's $5.7 billion patent verdict against Apple, 9to5Mac reported on October 19, 2026, citing Reuters' review of the filing.
A US jury found in late September that Apple's Taptic Engine infringed two Taction patents, awarding $5.7 billion. Apple disputes the verdict and has asked the court to overturn it or order a new trial, arguing the damages figure lacked evidentiary support.
Taction's new motion says the jury award covered Apple sales only through March 2026. It seeks compensation for sales since, plus ongoing royalties it argues should extend to current models - including iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 12, and Apple Watch Ultra 4 - as not more than colorably different from the infringing products. The filing borrows Apple's own argument from its Samsung patent litigation to support extending royalties to newer models.
Taction proposes quarterly US sales reports from Apple with royalties due within 30 days of each quarter's end, a 7 percent annual prejudgment interest rate under California law, and royalty payments running through September 24, 2035, when the patents expire.
The judge has not yet entered the jury verdict as a final judgment, so the $5.7 billion award, Apple's motion to overturn it, and Taction's new demands all remain unresolved.
