Since that time, Apple has used every means possible to try and convince the court to dismiss the jury’s findings, or otherwise order a new trial.
Now we have the court’s final judgment, finding for Masimo on four patent infringement claims. Yet even though an apparent win for Masimo, it has appealed the judge’s ruling. Read on to see why.
In a surprising exposé resulting from a deep investigation by the Nikkei, we have learned that Big Tech is engaged in questionable practices in order to conceal from investors the true amount of debt they are taking on to pursue building out their AI infrastructure with more and bigger…and more expensive…data centers.
