The Battle Between Apple and Masimo to Measure Blood Oxygen Concentration with a Smartwatch
The potential infringement of Apple on a Masimo patent
The longstanding dispute between Apple and the medical technology company Masimo over a potential infringement by Apple on a Masimo patent, claiming that the patented technology is being used in Apple Watches without permission. Why are these companies engaged in such a significant battle involving their patents? It's expected that these watches, capable of measuring vital functions at home, will play a crucial role in monitoring one's health without the need for a doctor and automatically transmitting medical data to, for instance, a local healthcare center or a hospital. This kind of technology is anticipated to be highly significant in the shift toward an enormous market.
