"Apple Prevails in AliveCor Antitrust Lawsuit Over Apple Watch Heart Rate Technology"

A judge has ruled in favor of Apple in an antitrust lawsuit filed by AliveCor, which claimed that Apple's changes to the Apple Watch heart rate algorithm were anticompetitive and targeted its SmartRhythm app. The court found that Apple did not engage in anticompetitive behavior and that AliveCor did not have the right to dictate Apple's design decisions. Apple thanked the court for its decision, while AliveCor expressed disappointment and plans to appeal. Separately, the ITC's findings that Apple infringed AliveCor's patents still stand, and AliveCor has filed several patent infringement lawsuits against Apple.
