Two Finnish sports-tech companies have been litigating U.S. Patent No. 6,537,227 in a Utah federal court since 2017. Polar Electro Oy - the heart rate monitor maker - owns the patent, which claims a process for estimating energy expenditure during exercise by combining a measured heart rate with a personalized physiological reference value tied to VO2max.

“You didn't disclose to the United States Senate that you had an interest in OpenAI through a share in a Y Combinator fund, did you?” barked Steve Molo, the combative attorney leading Elon Musk's effort to shut down OpenAI's for-profit business.

Extending the waiver to 2029 will "give the Commission an opportunity to consider a rulemaking on this subject," and reduce "potential harm to the public interest," the FCC engineering office said. The office said it will recommend making the waiver permanent for existing equipment on the Covered List and "any future covered equipment with similar characteristics."
