Good. If Apple is infringing on someone’s else tech, they need to secure the proper license. Unfortunately, it may cost them a lot more now, Masimo has all the leverage. Will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
It depends on whether Masimo was asking for too much or Apple not willing to pay enough.
The court will consider dollar amounts and decide what is fair.
Hopefully these negotiations will be brought to light.
Of course, it doesn’t bode well for Apple as they went ahead and violated Masimo’s patent despite not having made a deal.
Apple will most certainly have to pay a ton of damages to Masimo and then forced to pay royalties for all future S9 and older Watches sales.
Maybe no blood oxygen sensor in Series 10?
Apple will definitely cut it if it cuts too far into profits or would lead to a steep price increase for consumers.
