In addition to rejecting most of Apple’s claims and invalidating one of Apple’s patents, the jury found against Masimo on two old products that Masimo had discontinued, including an outdated charging cable, rendering Apple’s victory on these counts mostly symbolic and without any practical consequence to Masimo.
