Apple is seen by many users as the leader of the technology world with its level in the products it produces. The company has also taken its name to the highest levels in the smart watch world. The company, which has made a name for itself with the Apple Watch Series 8, especially with innovations in the field of health, is in trouble with patents.
Apple accused of infringing on heart rate patents
The Apple Watch is known for its success in measuring heart rate and tracking health. However, it turned out that Apple was not the only one behind this success. The International Trade Commission (ITC) had made a decision that Apple had infringed on AliveCor’s patents related to heart rate monitoring. Although Apple appealed the patent infringement accusation, the commission upheld its decision.
Finally, the decision will again pass Biden oversight. If found guilty after 60 days, Apple will be ordered to pay a $2 bond for every Apple Watch it sells. While Apple did not make a statement on the subject, AliveCor CEO Priya Abani made the following statements on the subject.
“Today’s ITC decision is a victory for innovation and consumer choice.” “The decision highlights the importance of protecting intellectual property for companies like AliveCor and others like Apple that are at risk of being suppressed by a Goliath.
