Mistrial declared in Apple's trade secret dispute with Masimo over pulse oximetry technology.

The legal battle between Apple and Masimo over trade secrets related to pulse oximetry technology has ended in a mistrial, as the jury was unable to come to a final decision. Masimo accused Apple of poaching employees and stealing trade secrets when developing the Apple Watch, seeking over $1.8 billion in damages and co-ownership of five Apple pulse oximetry patents. Apple denied the allegations, stating that no Masimo IP was used in the development of the Apple Watch. Masimo plans to continue pursuing the trade theft case, while Apple plans to ask the court to dismiss the remaining claims.
