They want a stay so the courts have time to make a decision, but last I heard from Masimo's CEO they haven't even come to the table to make a deal outside of court.

Why should good faith be extended to these thieves who are acting entitled to this technology even now and show no remorse or contrition? If they worked with Masimo they could develop an accurate FDA approved health sensor, but they want to sell their customers a second rate product that they stole and shoddily copied on the cheap.

It shouldn’t. They’ve done this and similar multiple times now, got downvoted for pointing it out in another thread. Apple is not acting in good faith here. Some beancounter determined it would be cheaper to steal the tech than acquire the company so they decided to do the wrong thing for the wrong reason.

I’ve yet to hear anyone even attempt to defend their behavior with a cogent argument.

USITC and exclusion orders are rendered void if everything was made domestically

You can limit patent holders options by bringing supply chain here

Just another incentive

Hey and we wont have to play geopolitical football with random conflicts around the world just so Taiwan feels safe, for now. We could ignore them all and let some other countries pick up the slack if anybody actually cares to misappropriate their resources like we do.

All the chips are in our hands and its only a net benefit for us

Apple must license tens of thousands of patents for their products. What is so special about not paying for these? Is this dispute even about the patents at this point or just some kind of feud with Masimo?

Could be a case of Masimo not bending to Apple's will and offering a low price given Apple also poached a bunch of their top staff.

This is only the Masimo side of the story. Apple hasn't made a statement that I'm aware of.

I doubt Masimo has patents on the only possible ways to measure Blood oxygen.
