Even if Apple infringes on Masimo's patent, it's not "stealing" as is being constantly asserted in these threads. Just because anyone infringes on a patent doesn't mean any IP was misappropriated or anything was physically stolen.
I take issue with the conflating infringing on a patent and "stealing" IP. The two are not the same.
My reading of Masimo's patent is far less charitable than yours. To me it reads like one of those "but on a computer" type patents. It's not really all that novel but overworked USPTO reviewers grant them anyways.
Supposed sordid dealings by Apple are yet to be demonstrated by anything but unsubstantiated claims by Masimo. Not that Apple is above any wrongdoing but Masimo's executives are incentivized to act like overly aggrieved victims to extract sympathy from third parties.
- ImPostingOnHN 3y agoMy and the patent examiner's reading of the patent is far less charitable to Apple than yours, and I'm still at a loss as to how one can poorly summarize the patent to exclude the relevant and obvious details showing apparent infringement, but here we are. Is there any evidence you feel would convince people that the patent examiner was wrong in awarding the patent which, at the moment, is valid? Any evidence you feel convincingly disputes the record we have of Apple's interactions with Masimo? Empty denials would be pretty unconvincing, and I'm not sure we even have that.
