Every time I read about This I am gobsmacked by just how big a cavalier blunder this is for apple.

Who on gods earth at Cupertino thought the pittance you could save from sherlocking would somehow be more than the revenue from a new iPhone in 2023?

Now you've either got to pay the license or buy the damn company. And you STILL had to admit to wrongdoing in front of the ITC and the world. Any acquisition you seek from now on is going to be a pretty cold reception if anyone cares at all to entertain it.

I wager masimo will license this technology out to every competitor apple has until cooks pushing daisies and then open source it out of spite...or at least thats what I'd do ;)

Or you can win the patent lawsuit and invalidate the patent !!
