Apple However, he claims that the technology behind the haptic feedback in his device is completely different from the technology patented by Taction Technology. This was paradoxically confirmed in court by tests conducted by Taction itself. However, for some unknown reason, the jury decided that the company has Apple to pay Taction Technology astronomical compensation, which is only half of what it would have been if Apple according to the jury, he infringed the patents intentionally.
