There isn't one, just another defense of Apple trying to claim that not accepting 2 cents per device is greedy and that Apple is a Saint....
Fighting for us, right, fighting for their own bottom line is more realistic 🙄
Not my job to enforce the law. I have zero respect for government and could not care less about some nobody company using a patent to extort millions out of the Apple Piñata.
It's quite concerning that people still believe Apple is fighting for them....
There are some laws that need revisiting and Congress is busy arguing over trivial matters.
Why is the patent not licensed? There is no realistic reason why they could not just license the patent.
Stopped reading after “Apple wants to protect consumers from rising costs…” due to uncontrollable laughter. You never disappoint for chuckles. Thank you.
Sure, but until the laws actually change, you better follow them, else, face the consequences
In the cold light of day though, you are commenting in a thread where Apple has tried to use a technology owned by a medical device company without prior agreement or licensing. They have poached their staff knowing they bring with them propietry information and inside info and fell foul of the law by releasing it to market. Patent trolls are people/organisations who patent things that may not necessarily exist in physical form, but more a concept and try their luck by suing companies that dare to ignore the patent in the hope of making a lot of money. Masimo are not patent trolls as they are using the technologies themselves.
It depends on how you define the patented technology. The Masimo patents are directed to the fingertip sensor although there is some loose language in the patents that suggests that the sensor could be worn anywhere on the body, but not explicitly on the wrist. That is the language Masimo relied on to expand their patents in 2021 to cover the Apple Watch after the fact. Perhaps Apple should have seen it coming, but at the time the S6 was released Masimo did not have a (valid) patent on the wrist-worn design, so it was fair game at that time. Whether those patents stand on appeal is yet to be seen but clearly Apple thinks they won't survive.
