Besides the patent infringement, I see no issue with them hiring key employees and trying to recreate the technology.
If Apple, or some other company, approached you to rebuild what you built at your current company, for a lot more money - are you really telling me you're going to say no and that's the moral thing to do?
Why are you trying to protect a company, a fictional entity, over the employees that make it up?
- rickdeckard 3y ago> Besides the patent infringement (..) You exclude the only topic in discussion here. Noone is framing this as an issue of individual employees. It's an issue between two companies, and one of them has a very thin argument to claim that it didn't systematically extract the other one's IP without paying for it. As mentioned elsewhere: This strategy surely works most of the time, especially on smaller companies unable to survive 10 (!!) years after their IP has been extracted to await justice. But this time it didn't work because the other company is successful in another industry and has patented the technology.

- rickdeckard 3y agoBecause those actions demonstrate that the company Apple didn't rebuild the IP of the company Masimo by accident, they had close contact with each other beforehand.
