As we can read in Bloomberg, Masimo Corporation, has filed a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission to prohibit the importation of the Apple Watch in the United States, a complaint that this body is examining.

Masimo states that since 2013, Apple has been interested in partnering with this company For the health-related functions for its line of smart watches, however, Apple did not achieve its goal but has used the technology of this company to add different health monitoring functions to the Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch Series 6 infringes 5 patents that use light transmitted through the body to measure blood oxygen levels, according to the company. This technology patented by the company is its main line of business.

Most likely, the dispute will end in an agreement that could report between 50 and 300 million dollars a year in royalties, according to Bloomberg analyst Tamlin Bason.

According to the company, the public will not be harmed if it finally succeeds in the Apple Watch stops being sold in the United Statesas the blood oxygen measurement function "is not essential to public health or welfare."

The company also claims that in addition to the alleged theft of trade secrets, it has evidence that Apple has hired more than one Masimo employee to carry out your health-oriented device project.
