苹果在与医疗设备生产商Masimo的专利侵权诉讼中获得了一个好消息和坏消息混杂的胜利。一位联邦法官在星期五判决Masimo侵犯了苹果的一些专利,作为最终判决的一部分,苹果被补偿了250美元——没错,只有250美元——来作为对Masimo侵权行为的法定补救措施。
Apple got a mixed victory in a patent infringement lawsuit against medical device maker Masimo. On Friday, a federal jury determined that Masimo had infringed on some Apple patents, and as part of the verdict, Apple was awarded $250 — yes, just $250 — as a statutory remedy for Masimo’s infringement.
据Bloomberg Law报道,250美元是侵权的法定最低赔偿金额,而且苹果也接受了这个数字。“我们不是为了钱而来的,”据该出版物报道,苹果律师John Desmarais在结案辩论中对陪审员说:“我们来这里不是为了钱。”
$250 is the statutory minimum damages for the alleged infringement and Apple had sought that figure, Bloomberg Law reports. “We’re not here for the money,” Apple attorney John Desmarais said to jurors in closing arguments, according to the publication.
Masimo 的W1智能手表,Freedom智能手表和健康模块都侵犯了一项专利,而Masimo的充电器侵犯了另一项专利。陪审团还认为Masimo的侵犯行为是故意的。
Masimo’s W1 smartwatch, Freedom smartwatch, and health module infringed on one patent, while Masimo’s charger infringed on another, per the verdict form. The jury also found that Masimo’s infringement was willful.
今年早些时候,苹果在国际贸易委员会判决苹果侵犯了Masimo在血氧测量方面的专利后停止在美国销售第9代Apple Watch和第2代Apple Watch Ultra。最近发布的第10代Apple Watch也缺少了这些功能。
Earlier this year, Apple stopped selling the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 with blood oxygen features in the US following an International Trade Commission ruling that Apple infringed on Masimo patents for pulse oximetry. The recently-launched Apple Watch Series 10 lacks them, too.
