There was another article with this quote[0]:

> “If they don’t want to use our chip, I’ll work with them to make their product good,” Mr. Kiani said. “Once it’s good enough, I’m happy to give them a license.”

It sounds like they didn't just want some money. They wanted them to use their chip or partner with them.

I am no Apple fan, but telling them to politely fuck off seems reasonable to me.

The way I read this is, Masimo does not have confidence in the way Apple has implemented the technology and they don't want their name attached to a bad implementation.

So they are giving Apple the choice of either buying a turnkey solution or partner with them to fix Apple's flawed implementation.

Yeah, and I think that's bullshit. If the implementation is so bad, then how is it infringing on the patent?

You can't have it both ways in my opinion. I hope they go to court and lose.
