"Apple's Refusal to License Masimo's Patents Sparks Legal Battle Over Health-Care Tech"
Apple CEO Tim Cook implies that the company has no intention to license Masimo's blood oxygen detection technology to end the import ban on Apple Watches, opting to focus on appeals instead. The import ban affects Apple Watches with a blood oxygen sensor, prompting Apple to disable the sensor in newer models to continue sales. Masimo has expressed willingness to settle with Apple, but the tech giant has shown no intention to initiate negotiations.
