"Apple Prevails in Lawsuit Over Apple Watch Heart Rate Technology"
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by AliveCor accusing Apple of monopolizing the U.S. market for heart rate monitoring apps for its Apple Watch. AliveCor claimed Apple violated antitrust and unfair competition laws, alleging that Apple copied its ideas and updated the heart rate algorithm to prevent competition. Apple stated that the lawsuit challenged its ability to make improvements to the Apple Watch and confirmed that its actions were not anticompetitive. AliveCor plans to appeal the decision and is still litigating separate patent infringement claims against Apple.
