Masimo CEO: Would Be Happy With Win-Win Apple Settlement

[@mikeross4081]

I think Bloomberg must be making more money from this story than Masimo and Apple put together!

[@ericB3444]

Wrong. It’s a straight fee.

[@lesliemuneeza5696]

Apple needs to admit defeat and sit down with Mr.Kiani

[@bonaku20]

Then it is not Apple any you... if you know their history :)😁

[@ericB3444]

Mush mush MUAHAHAHAH

[@jaspm]

Amazing roastinggg 😂

[@mshark2205]

App,e should’ve licensed this tech to benefit the creators and consumers alike.

[@mikeross4081]

Notice that Apple haven't really pulled this feature, they have simply disabled it. Big difference. It can just as easily be re-enabled via a software update. I suspect that Apple are still hoping that by some sleight of hand they can litigate their way out of paying Masimo, keep what they have stolen and then simply re-enable the feature on the watches that have already been sold. I think the ITC and Joe Kiani should INSIST that Apple physically remove the feature before sales can resume. That would put much more pressure on Apple to negotiate with Masimo. Despite their pretense Apple really need this feature on their watches otherwise it will have considerably less appeal to consumers. This isn't over. Apple are clearly running out of litigation options but still they seemed determined not to pay. Mr KIani needs to keep a very close eye on them. Apple are not to be trusted.

W for Masimo! L for Apple, shame on them, lesson learned.

[@tm73827]

He has already forked over $100mm to his lawyers. I don't know how much Apple is paying its lawyers. No wonder being a lawyer is the best profession in this country. Particularly an IP lawyer. And I'm not even looking at the ambulance chasers.

[@rushainefairclough5209]

😂😂😂 apple just got fuck. Apple know exactly what they were doing. They try to pull a Microsoft and got caught 😂. I bet they regret grab this employee 😂😂

[@tongobongo5306]

The reduction in Capital Expenditure by losing employees (Masimo has saved money by halving their workforce) is enough award for Masimo. So really they should be thanking Masimo for reducing their operating costs. Masimo and Kiani is a patent troll. It's Signal Extraction oximetry, come on. What's the actual patent infringement here? Masimo should be sued for wasting court's time.

[@perpetualcollapse]

Bro just doing this to promote his own watch. Just another footnote in Apple history.

[@shepherdmukora5558]

❤kiani open mindness

[@James-lp4ev]

How much justice can you afford? Apple can afford a bunch. The rest of ya can go ( ) yourself.

[@MohsenZrgr]

Apple does not wanna accept they are screwed. Joe kicked their BUT 😂.

[@tm73827]

It ain't over till the fat lady sings

[@ToreOnYouTube]

You honestly think Apple, the *tripple trillion* dollar company, find themselves screwed by this?

[@ganlet20]

It’s still surprising Apple let it get this far.

[@bonaku20]

I am surprised you don't know Apple's history.

[@ericB3444]

Dear sir: you’ll never gain any market share. You are not Apple. Apple pulled this feature and doesn’t care that much about this minor feature.

[@mikeross4081]

Oh yeah? Well if Apple didn't care that much about this "minor feature" why did they go to the lengths they have gone to steal his technology? Super accurate pulse oximetry is a very cool feature to have on a smartwatch. Apple knows that and you do too.

[@ericB3444]

@@mikeross4081 there are seven dollar pulse ox fingertip devices that work continuously in concert with heart rate, and even hospitals use them. I’m pretty sure this would only be useful in concert with a sleep apnea sensor to see if you have true breathing deficits. I think it could be useful on a future device only.

[@ToreOnYouTube]

@@mikeross4081 Because it was easier and cheaper, than developing a new technology. I'm sure they are very capable of investing in the research to start anew. Apple would much rather pay 10 times the price of research and development, over giving in to a lawsuit. It looks better.

[@mikeross4081]

Wouldn’t surprise me if your fingertip sensor was also using Masimo technology. Joe’s technology seems really good. Which is why Apple really want it. They just don’t wanna pay for it. It’s that simple.
