   I'm interested in reading more information as it comes out, but a lot of the comments claiming it's "just vibrations" are being a bit reductionist. These devices are controlled by complex algorithms, and they take a lot of time and money to create. Why shouldn't this company enjoy the same IP protections that Apple enjoys on their work?

      I think they do, but the company themselves found Apple didn't infringe, and then the court agreed. somehow it got appealed and then the appeals jury said they did not willfully infringe, so ... $5.7 billion?

      Something is way weirder than usual in this case
