Last week, the set of October 2022 cases that Apple filed against Masimo and Sound United in Delaware produced a jury verdict. The jury found two Apple design patent claims infringed, indicating that none of the tried claims from three utility patents was proven infringed. It also found one of the claims from those utility patents proven invalid for obviousness—and that Masimo’s infringement was willful. The damages sought here were so nominal that counsel for Masimo attempted to avert trial to a jury, through what the court dubbed an “exciting turn of events”, at the eleventh hour, with $900 cash.
