“The legal battle between Apple and medical technology company Masimo rages on, with the bigger company — sorta, kinda — winning their latest face off. A federal jury has agreed with Apple that previous versions of Masimo’s W1 and Freedom (pictured above) watches infringed on its design patents, according to Reuters. It only awarded Apple $250 in damages, which is the smallest amount that could be awarded for patent infringement, but the company’s lawyers reportedly told the court that it wasn’t after money anyway. What Apple, which is worth $3.5 trillion, wanted was an injunction on the sales of Masimo’s current smartwatch models. However, the jury determined that those newer models don’t violate Apple’s intellectual property.” (10/26/24)
