Latest chapter of $2 billion Apple Watch patent battle ends in mistrial
Apple didn't poach anyone. The company didn't negotiate for their tech and Apple developed their own tech to perform the same task. Ideas are not patentable. And, it's not sleazy. Apple hired Masimo experts to develop Apple's version. I'm sure the experts are happy with their decision -- that got their ideas into a successful product which likely would never have happened under Masimo.
Apple buys a lot of small companies because they want to use their tech and hire their people. But, these companies must agree to be acquired. Masimo didn't.
It would be sleazy if Apple acquired companies in order to deep-six their tech. That didn't happen here.
