Apple is in demand for the Apple Watch heart rate sensor

New patent-related legal problem for Apple. In this case, it is Omni MedSci, which claims to have been negotiating with the company for two years, although the negotiations did not come to fruition. Apparently, the Cupertino company had infringed one of its patents, specifically the Apple Watch and its technology to recognize heart rate.

Between 2014 and 2016, both companies maintained contact with the objective of a collaboration agreement. Something that finally did not happen. Shortly after the talks ended, Apple introduced the heart rate sensor technology on its watch.

New lawsuit for Apple

As commented by Omni MedSci, the Cupertino company has deliberately infringed a total of 3 patents that are in its property. Therefore, they have made the decision to sue the company and hope to obtain compensation for damages. A lawsuit in this case mainly for the Apple Watch heart rate sensor.

It is not the first lawsuit Apple faces. Since the company has suffered lawsuits on previous occasions over patent issues. Although in most cases, these lawsuits do not usually bear fruit. So many already see that in this case the same situation will be repeated.

At the moment the Cupertino company has not commented on this demand, as is usual for them. So we will see if this judicial process continues and if something new happens. Or if the complaining company has proof of this. We'll be alert.
