Immersion (http://www.immersion.com/), a company that develops and licenses haptic touch feedback tech**logy, today filed a second lawsuit (http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160505006596/en/Immersion-Corporation-Reports-Quarter-2016-Results-Files) against Apple and AT&T, accusing the MacBook and MacBook Pro (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro/) of violating one patent and the iPhone 6 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-6s/)s of violating three additional patents **t mentioned in the original lawsuit (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/02/11/immersion-haptic-feedback-apple-lawsuit/).

According to Immersion, iPhone 6s and MacBook features like 3D Touch (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/3d-touch/) and the Force Touch trackpad infringe on its intellectual property. The four patents included in today's lawsuit are as follows:
- U.S. Patent **. 8,749,507: "Systems and Methods for Adaptive Interpretation of Input from a Touch-Sensitive Input Device"
- U.S. Patent **. 7,808,488: "Method and Apparatus for Providing Tactile Sensations"
- U.S. Patent **. 8,581,710: "Systems and Methods for Haptic Confirmation of Commands"
- U.S. Patent **. 7,336,260: "Method and Apparatus for Providing Tactile Sensations"
The fourth patent is the one that Immersion accuses the MacBook, the 13-inch MacBook Pro, and the 15-inch MacBook Pro of violating, and AT&T, while named in the iPhone 6s claim, is **t named in the MacBook infringement claim. According to Immersion, the Force Touch trackpad built into these products uses haptic feedback tech**logy belonging to Immersion.
Apple's Force Touch trackpad utilizes haptic feedback (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/03/12/force-touch-trackpad-click/) to mimic the feeling of pressing on a physical button. The trackpad is able to distinguish between a light press and a harder press, with the pressure-sensitivity used to enable different gestures.
In the original lawsuit (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/02/11/immersion-haptic-feedback-apple-lawsuit/) filed in February of 2016, Immersion accused Apple and AT&T of infringing on three patents with the iPhone 6, 6s, 6 Plus, 6s Plus, Apple Watch (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch/), Apple Watch Sport, and Apple Watch Edition. Immersion has added AT&T to the lawsuit because AT&T sells Apple products and offers guides, directions, and other materials that "encourage and facilitate infringing use by others."
Immersion's patent lawsuit, in which the company requests a jury trial and seeks compensatory damages, is accompanied by a second complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission, seeking an inclusion order to prevent the sale of the accused Apple devices in the United States.
