Nge-14 kaNovemba (Reuters) - Ijaji lombuso eCalifornia lithe ngoLwesihlanu ukuba iApple (AAPL.O) , evula i-tab entsha, inetyala kwinkampani yetekhnoloji yokujonga unyango iMasimo (MASI.O) , evula i-tab entsha i-$634 yezigidi ngokwaphula ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi eligubungela itekhnoloji yokufunda i-oxygen egazini.
Ijaji livumelene noMasimo ukuba indlela yokuzilolonga ye-Apple Watch kunye neempawu zesaziso sokubetha kwentliziyo ziphula amalungelo elungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza likaMasimo, isithethi sikaMasimo siqinisekisile.
“Kwiminyaka emithandathu edlulileyo (uMasimo) umangalele iApple kwiinkundla ezininzi waza wafumana amalungelo awodwa angaphezu kwama-25, uninzi lwawo lufunyenwe lungasebenzi,” utshilo isithethi. “Ilungelo elilodwa lobunikazi kweli tyala liphelelwe lixesha ngo-2022, kwaye libhekiselele kubuchwepheshe bexesha elidlulileyo bokujonga izigulane kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo.”
Kwingxelo yakhe, uMasimo ubize esi sigwebo ngokuthi "luloyiso olukhulu kwimizamo yethu eqhubekayo yokukhusela izinto ezintsha kunye nepropathi yethu yobukrelekrele."
Ityala laseCalifornia licandelo elinye lempikiswano, umlo welungelo lomenzi wepatent phakathi kwe-Apple kunye neMasimo ese-Irvine, eCalifornia, etyhola i-Apple ngokuqesha abasebenzi bayo nokuba itekhnoloji yayo ye-pulse oximetry ukuze isetyenziselwe ii-Apple Watches.
Le ngxabano ikhokelele kwinkundla yorhwebo yaseMelika ukuba ithintele ukungeniswa kwee-smartwatch ze-Apple ze-Series 9 kunye ne-Ultra 2 ngo-2023 emva kokufumanisa ukuba ubuchwepheshe be-Apple buphula amalungelo obunikazi kaMasimo.
I-Apple isuse ubuchwepheshe bokufunda i-oksijini yegazi kwiiwotshi zayo ukuze iphephe ukuvalwa kwaye yaphinda yazisa uhlobo olutsha lweteknoloji ngo-Agasti ngemvume evela kwi-US Customs and Border Protection.
Ngokwahlukileyo i-ITC ngoLwesihlanu igqibe ekubeni ibambe inkqubo entsha yokumisela ukuba iiwotshi ezihlaziyiweyo ze-Apple kufuneka zibe phantsi komthetho na.
UMasimo ufake ityala eliqhubekayo nxamnye neCustoms ngenxa yesi sigqibo. I-Apple iphikise ngokwahlukeneyo ukuvalwa kokungeniswa kwempahla kwinkundla yezibheno karhulumente.
Ijaji laseCalifornia libhengeze ityala elingalunganga kwityala likaMasimo eliyimfihlo yorhwebo nxamnye neApple ngo-2023 emva kokuba ijaji lingaphumelelanga ukufikelela kwisigqibo esivunyiweyo ngazwi linye. I-Apple iphumelele isigwebo esincinci se-$250 ngokuchasene neMasimo eDelaware kunyaka ophelileyo ngezityholo zokuba iiwashi ze-smartwatch zikaMasimo ziphula amalungelo obunikazi amabini oyilo lwe-Apple.
