The benefits of the ECG function on Apple Watch are no longer in doubt. We regularly receive user testimonials and we can say that this feature contributes indirectlyto save lives. This innovation, however, is costing Apple a lawsuit.
The company AliveCor, which produces medical devices, has indeed filed a lawsuit in Texas against the Cupertino company. She claims that the electrocardiogram function used on the connected watch infringes three of her patents.
Apple is regularly the subject of lawsuits for patent infringement
In detail, this concerns the monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias or irregular heartbeats. However, these technologies filed by AliveCor focus precisely on the use of data from portable devices to help diagnose the disease.
The company claims that Apple was aware of these three patents and used them anyway. This procedure has only just begun but AliveCor would like Apple to be banned from using these technologies. The company is also seeking damages.
As a reminder, Apple is regularly the subject of lawsuits for supposedpatent violations. A few months ago, we spoke to you, for example, about Hitachi which is seeking compensation from the Cupertino company. The Japanese company believes that the Apple brand has broken the law by designing mobile devices as well as computers that violate its intellectual property.
