So dumb. Should not be made to stop selling them. Everyone is always after the successful companies.

Yeah, who cares if Apple infringed on Masimo's patents. Apple does hundreds of billions in revenue a year while Masimo barely brings in over $1 billion. Since Apple is more successful, any patent violations by Apple should be waived.

To hell with patents, copyrights, and trademarks.

Apple > patents, copyrights, and trademarks.

If Masimo was a successful company, they would be a household name and would be selling out of their products. Hmm..

You've never heard of Denon, Polk Audio, Bowers & Wilkins, Marantz, etc.?

You posted this exact same comment in the other thread, so I will post the same response.

In healthcare, they are a well-known company and a common name. They don't sell their Sp02 equipment to the public, it's for hospital use. Have you heard of Styker, Omnicell, Pyxis, Accudose, Steris, Fillmaster, Swisslog, GoHCL, Parata, IHiS, Alaris, B Braus, Fresenius? No, probably not..but all are extremely successful and all my coworkers know exactly what each one of those companies deal with. None are household names, and none sell to the public.

At this point, you're just trolling.

By that logic, if I earn a lot more money than you do, I should be allowed to steal from you because I am a more important person and you are a "nobody".

Apple stole this technology and refused to pay for it. What's worse is that as said, Apple is a huge company that could have afforded to pay.
