Apple has successfully defeated a $300 million patent infringement lawsuit over its iPhone security features. The lawsuit, filed by Identity Security LLC, alleged that Apple's Secure Enclave technology, which is used to enable Touch ID, violated four patents related to user verification and data security. A jury determined that the technology did not infringe on the patents, resulting in a significant legal victory for Apple. Additionally, Apple's home town of Cupertino, California, will retain millions in sales tax revenue through a settlement with the state Department of Tax and Fee Administration.
