Not even that. They’re suing to invalidate the patent entirely and are also attacking the W1 watch Massimo sells based on Apple Patents. I’m not sure as to why Apple decided to go full scorched earth, but man they pissed somebody off.

It would be a fantastic outcome if they managed to get the patent invalidated because it seems rather silly (not that Apple, just like other larger corporations, doesn’t have a tendency to patent perfectly “obvious” “innovations” either)

Well back then it was a major breakthrough for more accurate measurements, so no. Fuck Apple and their we can steal anything we want attitude. The other way around they are not that lenient
