Why Masimo’s ‘Rare’ Move Pushes Apple Case Into Uncharted Territory
World Intellectual Property Review and Life Sciences Intellectual Property Review featured insights from Intellectual Property Division Chair Michael Renaud about Masimo’s decision to sue US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the latest development in its legal battle with Apple. The article notes that it’s uncommon for a patent owner to sue CBP, which is backed by the US International Trade Commission (ITC), and that the results of this action may determine whether patent owners will still be able to rely on exclusion orders as enforcement tools in the future.
Michael says that the ITC “will continue to be involved in deciding cases in priority areas of critical technology, and observers should expect even more consumer tech cases, including those involving disruptive technologies (including SEP cases) and more life science investigations.”
