A federal jury ruled that Masimo's smartwatches infringed two design patents held by Apple, resulting in a nominal award of $250 to Apple. The jury's decision, delivered on October 26, 2024, marked a significant moment in the ongoing intellectual property dispute between the two companies. Despite the ruling, Apple did not achieve its goal of obtaining an injunction against Masimo's smartwatch sales. This trial is part of a broader legal battle over health monitoring technology. Additionally, a separate federal court has approved a $20 million settlement between Apple and users of the Apple Watch, addressing claims that early models were defective, leading to issues such as battery swelling and screen cracking.

Thanks @benlovejoy @9to5mac and @StephenWarwick9 @techradar for picking up my explanation of what Apple really hoped to achieve in its offensive patent case against Masimo. I've been following USITC proceedings for 14 years. https://t.co/fiYSZEWnZI https://t.co/5oZBhl5UbF
