GoKawiilApple ordered to pay $184 million in interest for patent infringement damages
A federal judge has mandated Apple to pay an additional $184 million in interest related to a patent infringement case brought by Masimo. The case stems from Apple’s use of Masimo’s blood oxygen measurement technology in the Apple Watch, which was previously found to infringe on Masimo’s patent, leading to a $634 million damages award. The interest was calculated based on Masimo’s borrowing rate, not the higher rate requested by Masimo, and the total interest was added to the original damages.
