Apple faces new damages bid after landmark $5.7 billion patent verdict 

By Mike Scarcella

WASHINGTON, Oct 19 (Reuters) - A technology company that won a landmark $5.7 billion patent infringement verdict against Apple AAPL.O has asked a federal judge to tack on more damages and interest, potentially exposing the iPhone maker to hundreds of millions of dollars in additional liability.

Here are the details:

• A California federal jury in September awarded San Diego-based Taction the largest-ever US patent infringement award after finding Apple violated its patented ‌technology for haptic feedback in iPhones and Apple Watches

• Taction in a filing on Friday said the verdict only covers Apple sales from 2021 to late March and asked the court to impose damages for the six months of sales since then

• Taction also asked the judge to award prejudgment interest at California's 7% statutory rate, which would add at least hundreds of millions of dollars to the $5.7 billion verdict

• “The size of the jury’s award is no reason to withhold interest,” Taction told the court. The company is also seeking post-judgment interest

• Apple has denied any wrongdoing and said it will appeal. It has also asked the court to overturn the verdict

• Apple was ordered to pay $184.2 million in prejudgment interest to medical-monitoring technology company Masimo this month in a different intellectual property case after Masimo won a jury award of $634 million last year

The ⁠case is Taction Technology v. Apple Inc, US District Court for the Southern District of California, No. 3:21-cv-00812.

For Taction: Lance ⁠Yang ​of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan

For Apple: ​Roger Denning of Fish & Richardson
