- andsoitis 3y ago> That’s the beauty of this process from a patent troll perspective I know you didn't draw the connection explicitly, but I just wanted to point out that in this particular case, Masimo isn't a patent troll - they're a company that sells actual devices - https://www.masimopersonalhealth.com https://www.masimopersonalhealth.com and is listed on the NASDAQ with market cap of $6 billion.
