• Medical device maker Masimo is confident it can win its legal battle against Apple over a feature on the Apple Watch, citing previous victories against True Wearables, a startup run by a former Apple executive.
• Masimo alleges that Apple couldn’t have developed certain watch technologies without the help of Marcelo Lamego, who previously worked at both Masimo and Apple.
• Masimo CEO Joe Kiani accuses Apple of a deliberate infringement of intellectual property, resulting in an import ban on certain Apple Watch models, which has been temporarily paused pending further review.
Masimo is definitely in the right here.
Apple has pulled this same scam on their vendors a dozen times before.
Whether Apple will pay up remains to be seen.
Maybe but the story also says the guy in question only lasted a few months at Apple and that was years before the device existed. I don’t see how that guy could have had any impact
