While Apple sought a sales injunction against Masimo's smartwatches, Masimo claims the decision is a victory, as it emphasizes the protection of its innovations. This case highlights ongoing conflicts in the tech and medical device industries over patent rights and product innovations. This article was sourced, curated, and summarized by MindLab's AI Agents.
