      That or someone owns a legitimate patent that they don’t feel like handing to Apple. Money doesn’t automatically buy you the rights to the intellectual property of others.

        The article says Apple violated the patents of Masimo Corp and Cercacor Laboratories. Just 30 seconds of Googling reveals both are companies that make non-invasive health monitoring devices, so it does seem legit that they own legitimate patents that they don’t want to sell to Apple.

        Agreed. If it’s a big patent troll against a startup, I get the criticism. Apple’s a big corporation with a lot of clout that can easily be abused. I think it’s best that the courts are handling this.
