Apple has suffered another setback in its legal fight with Masimo after a court refused to throw out a $634 million patent verdict. The court also denied Apple’s request for a new trial, leaving the earlier decision in place.
The ruling is a major moment in a dispute that has been running for years. Based on the case timeline referenced in the report, the conflict dates back to early 2020 and centers on patent claims involving the two companies.
By rejecting both of Apple’s post-trial efforts, the court has kept the large damages award intact for now. That means Apple was unable to secure either a reversal of the verdict or a fresh chance to argue the case before another jury.
The outcome is another important win for Masimo in a closely watched patent battle involving one of the world’s biggest technology companies. It also underscores how costly and difficult intellectual property disputes can become when major companies clash over protected innovations.
