Apple has encountered another legal setback concerning its wearable division, with the company directed to pay an additional $184 million in damages over a patent infringement case related to the Apple Watch.
The ruling increases the financial penalties levied against the Cupertino tech giant, centering on proprietary technologies and intellectual property used in its smartwatch lineup. Disputes surrounding health-tracking, sensor functions, and hardware designs have repeatedly pulled the company into complex courtroom battles in recent years.
While Apple frequently appeals adverse patent judgments or pursues software and hardware workarounds to keep its devices on store shelves, this latest assessment adds a substantial sum to its legal liabilities in the wearable market.
