US jury says Apple owes record $5.7 billion in haptic technology patent case


US jury says Apple owes record $5.7 billion in haptic technology patent case <br> A US jury ruled that Apple owes San Diego-based Taction ​more than $5.7 billion for using its patented &zwnj;technology to power the haptic feedback in iPhones and Apple Watches. Apple said it would ​appeal the country&#39;s largest such verdict, &nbsp;to ​date. Here it is arranged in a standard Reuters-style news format, with the key finding first, followed by the companies&rsquo; responses and case background: A jury said on Friday that Apple&#39;s Taptic Engine, which creates tapping vibrations, infringed two Taction patents. Apple said in response that its Taptic Engine is &quot;fundamentally different from Taction&#39;s technology&quot;, adding that Taction&#39;s own testing of Apple&#39;s products confirmed this during the trial. Read More:&nbsp;OpenAI, Anthropic CEOs called to appear at Australian AI probe &quot;Apple does not use Taction&#39;s technology, and we will appeal,&quot; Apple said in a statement. &quot;We&#39;re happy the jury found for Taction and vindicated its patent rights,&quot; said Taction attorney Lance Yang. Taction, which uses its technology in headphones and gaming headsets, filed the lawsuit in 2021. Apple denied the allegations and said the patents were invalid. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit revived the case last year after a San Diego federal judge ruled in 2023 that Apple had not infringed the patents. I can also make it tighter and more typical of a Reuters wire story, while retaining all the facts. <br> <img src="https://tribune.com.pk/story/2631699/us-jury-says-apple-owes-record-57-billion-in-haptic-technology-patent-case" alt=" US jury says Apple owes record $5.7 billion in haptic technology patent case" width="100%">

Apple launches new 13-inch, 15-inch MacBook Air with M3 chip Apple has unveiled its next-generation M3 MacBook Air range, in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes. With the M3 chip, the devices will have faster CPU and GPU performance, an upgraded Neural Engine, and up to 2x faster Wi-Fi, along with the ability to connect to two external displays at the same time. Available for order, the new MacBook Air range will be shipped from March 8. The ability to connect to two external displays had been a much-awaited feature in laptops. The feature comes with a small catch, not allowing MacBook Air desktop to be connected to external displays without the laptop lid being closed. If lid is open, only one external display will work like the previous M1 and M2 models. Being called the “world’s best consumer laptop for AI”, M3 MacBook Air features a faster 8-core CPU combined with up to 10-core GPU. With a faster 16-core Neural Engine, and upgraded Wi-Fi 6E, the device will allow for maximum theoretical do...

FICO to include 'Buy Now, Pay Later' data in US consumer credit scores

FICO to include 'Buy Now, Pay Later' data in US consumer credit scores Starting later this year, Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) loans will be included in Americans' credit scores, giving lenders a clearer view of repayment behaviour. FICO has announced that its new models, FICO Score 10 and FICO Score 10 T, will incorporate BNPL data, marking the first time major credit scores reflect this growing payment method. BNPL loans let consumers split purchases into smaller payments, often for items like clothes, flights, or groceries. Until now, BNPL activity has been excluded from credit reports, leaving a gap in how lenders assess creditworthiness. FICO's decision aims to offer a more complete picture of an individual's financial behaviour. For younger consumers or those with limited credit histories, BNPL could help build credit. New York Times reported that BNPL could serve as a "credit-builder" if used responsibly. “FICO plans to launch a suite of credit scores...

Scientists expect PakSat MM-1 services from August The newly-lunched Pakistani satellite, PakSat MM-1, would be positioned in a geostationary orbit 36,000 kilometres above Earth and it would start delivery of services in August, scientists associated with the MM-1 project said on Sunday. PakSat MM-1, Pakistan’s second communication satellite, was launched into the orbit on Thursday from China's Xichang Satellite Launch Center (XSLC). Dr Khurram Khurshid, Head Electrical Engineering Department at the Institute of Space Technology (IST), said it would provide communication services. “The satellite will provide communication services like broadband internet, TV broadcasting, media and telecommunication. It … will play an important role in promoting economic activities besides e-commerce and e-governance,” Dr Khurshid said. The satellite launched by the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) with the support of China under the National Space Programme-2047,...
