The company’s CEO Joe Kiani said that via the new recruits Apple was able to access “deep wells of trade secrets” in exchange for “sizable salaries”. Masimo is a medical technology company that builds non-invasive patient monitoring features. Bloomberg reported that Masimo is seeking to block the usage of its patented inventions in the Apple Watch Series 4 and **Series 5 (review)** . It’s also asking for the return of confidential information and damages of an unknown amount. Apple didn’t respond to queries from Bloomberg on the accusation.
Masimo has accused Apple of infringing upon 10 of its patents and stealing its health-monitoring features.
