  • Masimo, the company that sued Apple over patent infringement, has unveiled its own blood oxygen monitoring smartwatch called the Masimo Freedom.
  • The Masimo Freedom is a health-focused device that can track blood oxygen levels, hydration index, respiration rate, pulse rate variability, pulse rate, steps, and detect falls.
  • The smartwatch is currently in prototype stage and will be available for sale later this year at a price of $999.

Yes I can see how the company suing another company that has stolen its tech, stolen its high level employees and then refuses to admit any fault or issue has absolutely no base to sue on.

I agree in general with your statement, but it's completely wrong here. There is definitely a giant greedy asshole corporation here, and with the history that Apple was going to license it from them and didn't have an issue previously I know which one it is.

Apple sucks for hiring in Mossimo’s engineering team and reinventing the wheel. Mossimo sucks for being a patent troll.

A patent troll is considered to be a company that just sits on patents and hopes to sue companies for profit primarily without having actual products.

Mossimo makes a tonne of products and has over a billion in revenue. It's not a patent troll.

I spelled it wrong via mobile--it's Masimo. Mossimo is a clothing brand.
