> And more importantly that patents in this case seem just idiotic and shouldn’t be valid in the first place. Ah yeah? Masimo claims violation of various patents for non-invasive blood data-collection via LEDs of specific wavelengths and photo-diodes in a specific geometry, patents to reduce power consumption of pulse oximeters as well as patents to detect when a pulse oximeter probe is misaligned on a patient. They can demonstrate in the evolution of the Apple Watch how Apple launched their initial generation without such optimizations but found them to be necessary later-on, so it seems Masimo's patents are not that obvious. In reaction, Apple countersues Masimo on the grounds of their DESIGN patent of the watch itself [1], among others based on design patents for a circular charging "puck" and the DESIGN of aligning LEDs, photodiodes and charging coil in a circular geometry. They basically claim that Masimo took unfair shortcuts in 2020 when designing a Smartwatch with a rectangular display, a geometric alignment of LEDs and photodiodes MASIMO ALREADY PATENTED and using a circular charging connector. Ah. And Masimo already won TWICE with their claim as a judge upheld the ruling, so that's where we are now. A trillion dollar troll trying to frame himself as the victim.
