Mistrial declared in Apple-Masimo smartwatch trade secrets battle.

The court battle between Apple and Masimo has ended in a mistrial, with six jurors finding that Apple had not stolen trade secrets to create the O2 sensor in the Apple Watch, but the seventh juror disagreed. Masimo intends to file for a retrial despite Apple coming close to winning, while Apple is pleased by the partial win and will ask the court to dismiss the remaining claims. The US International Trade Commission may still ban imports of the Apple Watch based on its separate finding that Apple did infringe one patent, with a final decision to be made later this month.
