Core Viewpoint - The legal dispute between Masimo and Apple centers around the blood oxygen functionality in Apple Watches, with Masimo alleging that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) improperly allowed Apple to import watches equipped with pulse oximeter technology without consulting Masimo [1][3]. Group 1: Legal Dispute - Masimo has filed a lawsuit against CBP in federal court, claiming that the agency reversed its previous decision regarding the importation of Apple Watches with blood oxygen reading capabilities without notifying Masimo [3]. - The conflict between Masimo and Apple has been ongoing, with Masimo accusing Apple of poaching its employees and stealing technology for the pulse oximeter used in Apple Watches [3]. - In 2023, Masimo successfully convinced the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) to block the import of Apple Series 9 and Ultra 2 smartwatches due to patent infringement related to blood oxygen level reading technology [3]. Group 2: Recent Developments - On August 14, Apple announced it would reintroduce the blood oxygen reading feature in its smartwatches, contingent upon CBP's approval, which Masimo argues was granted without proper consultation [3]. - Masimo contends that CBP's actions undermine its rights and responsibilities, emphasizing that the agency should enforce the ITC's exclusion order rather than create loopholes [3]. - Masimo is seeking a court order to halt CBP's decision and prevent Apple from selling watches with blood oxygen functionality [3].
