    It would be cheaper to just assasinate the lawyers and the other party.

    For perspective, the watch division makes between $35 to $40 billion annually.

      Crazy, I dont think it is all because of the haptics though. This seems like a noteworthy amount for them

      How is this good news? Haptic feedback has existed since the 1970s. This patent should be invalid.

        Even if it’s like catching Al capone on tax fraud, it’s still good to get the baddie.

          Rewarding a patent troll is never a good thing. It just means no one will be able to use haptic feedback without paying a toll.
