IRVINE, Calif., June 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Knobbe Martens
secured another victory for Masimo Corporation (NASDAQ: MASI) with
the successful dismissal with prejudice of a patent infringement
lawsuit filed by Wrist SP Biotech, a non-practicing entity
(NPE). This success is the latest in a string of successful results
Knobbe Martens has achieved for Masimo.
In August 2023 Wrist SP filed a
complaint in the Western District of Texas, asserting U.S. Patent No. 11,331,015
against Masimo pulse oximetry sensors. In the complaint, Wrist SP
accused the majority of Masimo's disposable sensor models, which
are used by over 200 million patients annually, of
infringement.
On behalf of Masimo, the Knobbe Martens team first obtained a
transfer of the case to the Central District of California. Then, the team worked with Masimo
to assemble evidence to support its defense. After a detailed
reveal of Masimo's defense in discovery, Wrist SP dismissed the
case with no payment from Masimo.

The Knobbe Martens team that represented Masimo in this case
was Irfan Lateef and
Raymond Lu.
This was the most recent success Knobbe Martens has secured on
behalf of Masimo. Last month, a team from the firm represented
Masimo in litigation resulting in a permanent injunction
against Sotera Wireless and Foxconn regarding a patent that
pertains to products that monitor vital signs. Earlier this year,
the firm scored a momentous success when it secured an import
ban on Apple watches that were found to infringe Masimo's
patented pulse oximetry technology.
Commenting on these accomplishments, Masimo CEO Joe Kiani stated, "Masimo is a company that
respects valid intellectual property. We are greatly appreciative
of the talented and dedicated lawyers at Knobbe Martens who
carefully defended these claims on the merits, and delivered an
outstanding result."
