> Masimo claims

This is apologist. Masimo claims, and multiple court cases have agreed that Apple did, in fact, use patented technology without payment (and frankly, even as an all Apple person, their behavior in this whole situation was entirely shitty).

Couching this all as “claims” gives Apple a benefit of the doubt, similar to the people who refer to Masimo as “nothing but patent trolls”. Previous discussions here had multiple people referring to them being “butthurt that Apple hadn’t offered to acquire them”, or that they “lacked the product chops to bring their own solution to market”.
