Comment on Apple to Remove Blood-Oxygen Sensor From Watch to Avoid U.S. Ban

Well, Apple stole a patent after they were presented with it when they lied about wanting to do a "collaboration ". Then literally GUTTED their engineering team with crazy sign on bonuses while using what they saw to from that meeting and bypass their “collaboration”.

I agree that patents suck IF there was no end date. But I’m totally ok with Apple getting in trouble for blatantly doing something like this.

Fuck Apple. They deserve this and more for being fucking too big to get in trouble.

Also let us not forget that Apple sued other phone manufacturers for having rectangular phones. You reap what you sow.

  Also they tried to trademark the word “App” Store saying that “App Store” meant “Apple” Store.
  
  Fuck Apple.

    Yup. They care about money and monopoly as it also means more money.

    All companies do. Any company that says they want a free market is lying or speaking from a place of disadvantage - they all would want a monopoly even more, preferably one where people are mandated by the government to buy their product. Or even better, if the government is the customer. $$$$$

Seriously, just pay the licensing fee to the patent holder. For as much as their customers have paid them over the years, they can afford it.

Apple’s MO is, and has been for a while, seeing something a startup is doing, saying “That’s a stupid idea”, then two years later unveiling an identical product and calling it innovation.
