Lately, it seems like lawsuits against Apple he tore open the sack. We wrote in the morning, didn't we lawyer's officeancThe PCVA filed a complaint on Apple lawsuit due to error 53that will lock iPhones after replacement Touch ID unauthorized service. Now the company Immersion she decided that she wouldn't just like something and sued Apple due to the Force Touch and 3D Touch haptic technology that the latest iPhones 6s and 6s Plus have and also Apple Watch.
But the lawsuit is not so much aimed at the displays themselves, which can recognize the force of pressure, as at the haptic response, which is taken care of by a special taptic engine, hidden inside iPhones and Apple Watch. The company Immersion uses the same technology for its medical devices or gaming devices, so it understandably does not like that it has also started to be used Apple.
According to Immersion, he violated Apple a total of 3 patents, namely "Haptic Feedback System with Stored Effects”, “Method and Apparatus for Providing Tactile Sensations” and “Interactivity Model for Shared Feedback on Mobile Devices”. Immersion currently owns or has over 2100 patents pending, which are used in over three billion devices worldwide.
Except AppImmersion is also suing the American operator AT&T. However, it is not yet clear which patents the operator has violated and if the lawsuit is related to smartphones and smartwatches from Applu, Immersion would have to sue many more vendors than just AT&T.
