  • Apple says it can take pulse oximetry out of Apple Watch -- but shouldn't have to

    A couple of years ago Apple, poached a team from Masimo. Not illegal. 

    A couple of years later apple by way of a coincidence had a technology that infringed on Masimo technology. 

    One of three things happend. 

    1) Apple accidentally copied Masimo technology. 
    2)  The team apple poached refreshed it knowledge of Masimo technology. Without apple knowledge. 
    3) Apple told their poached team that we hired you to copy it so do it. 

    I think Apple thinks it has so much money it can push anyone out of its way. 

    Anyone who think Masimo technology is the same as the junk you buy for $30 on Amazon is sniffing glue. 


    The fact that the team from Masimo was able to recreate a technology that they developed at Masimo years later at apple. Should be all the judge needs to hear.

    Poaching is legal between two California companies.

    The time span was about 10 years, not a few years.

    The patent in question was filed by Masimo right after the series 6 was released as a continuation of another 13 year old patent. It looks remarkably like Apple’s Watch more-so then the Masimo watch.

    Apple’s arguments sound about right. No stretching of the truth.

    You have to remember no technology, no data was "stolen" here. It's the nature of the US patent system to award patents that are as generalizable as possible, such that the patent is basically an idea that anybody can think of, and they leave it to courts to have the patents invalidated, modified, and to have the companies fight it out.
    Right. And if you want to read the patent it is very clear this is what is happening. Not only that, one of the two patents was Masimo patenting Apple’s design after they released it. I saw on one patent news site that observed this was a strange aspect that rarely happens. Apparently so trivial that Apple forgot to patent it themselves. The second patent was struck down as prior art, contested, then brought back in. It is also very trivial.

    Hopefully Apple patents their new design this time so Masimo doesn’t steal it again. This patent Apple violated came out after the series 6 and just blatantly copied Apple’s design.

    It is a pretty dumb review denial, but I get how it edges on the productivity app space that Apple wouldn’t want to lose out revenue on. 

    My opinion is Apple should just require the app to be for the developers first party cloud services only and all functionality must match the web app. Maybe unlist them too and require a link to the store from the website. Since these are web-first services, not a big deal to get them from the website where you need to sign up for them anyway. That also sidesteps the whole steering issue Apple has been getting in trouble for. Maybe even put some entitlement level restrictions on these apps to forbid advanced features and make app review easier. Basically, instead of reader apps these are web-equivalent apps.
