Apple ordered to pay $5.7 billion in patent verdict

A US jury has ruled that Apple must pay 5.7 billion dollars after finding that the vibration function used in the iPhone and Apple Watch infringes patents held by another American company. The verdict is one of the largest patent damage awards against Apple and is likely to be appealed, with observers watching closely for the company's next legal move.
Why now: The sheer size of the damage award against one of the world's most valuable companies makes the ruling major tech news.
