The jury found that Masimo's previous smartwatch designs willfully violated Apple's patent rights, but awarded Apple only $250 in damages as a minimum for infringement.
Masimo emphasized that the jury's decision favored them against Apple on several issues, particularly regarding the non-infringement of current products and only applying to discontinued items.
Apple's main goal was not financial compensation but to secure an injunction against Masimo's sales of smartwatches, demonstrating their commitment to protecting their innovations.
The ongoing disputes highlight the competitive tensions in the smartwatch market, with both companies accusing one another of intellectual property theft and infringement.
