On September 26, 2026, a U.S. federal jury in San Diego delivered a landmark verdict, ordering Apple to pay $5.72 billion for patent infringement.
2026年9月26日，美國聖地牙哥聯邦陪審團做出具指標性的裁決，下令蘋果(Apple)公司因侵犯專利需支付57.2億美元。
This ruling, recognized as the largest patent award in U.S. history, stems from a legal battle with Taction Technology Inc. over the "Taptic Engine" found in iPhones and Apple Watches.
這項被視為美國史上金額最高的專利賠償裁決，源自於與Taction Technology Inc.
Taction claimed Apple violated two of its patents regarding low-frequency vibration technology.
之間針對iPhone與Apple Watch所使用的「觸覺引擎(Taptic Engine)」的法律訴訟。
Although the damages are record-breaking, the jury noted that Apple’s infringement was not "willful," which spares the company from potentially having the fine tripled.
Taction聲稱蘋果侵犯了其關於低頻震動技術的兩項專利。
The road to this verdict was long.
儘管賠償金額打破紀錄，陪審團指出蘋果的侵權行為並非「蓄意」，這讓蘋果免於賠償金可能被增加至三倍的風險。
Apple, maintaining that its technology was independently developed and fundamentally different from Taction’s, has firmly denied any wrongdoing.
蘋果堅稱其技術為獨立開發，且與Taction的技術本質不同，並堅決否認有任何不法行為。
The tech giant has vowed to launch an aggressive appeal.
這家科技巨頭已誓言發動強勢上訴。
