    Imagine a world where this sort of medical innovation was shared freely, with everyone benefiting from it.

    I hope this guy gets his 18,000,000,000 pounds of flesh from the richest company in the world, but it would be better for everyone if he didn’t have to do this.

      4 hours old, 15 upvotes and 1 downvote for a comment referring to this as a medical patent.

      This isn’t about the Masimo lawsuit and the Pulse Oximeter. This is a lawsuit about iTunes, DRM, and a plaintiff that smells a lot like a patent troll.
