"We applaud President Biden for upholding the ITC's ruling," AliveCor CEO Priya Abani said in a statement toAppleInsider, "and holding Apple accountable for infringing the patents that underpin our industry-leading ECG technology."
I haven't studied these patents myself, but I've heard that people who have say it's nothing more than a patent on the very idea of using ECG in conjunction with a smartwatch. It's not "industry-leading ECG technology." ECG is an incredibly simple technology that's been around since before anyone alive today was even born.
AliveCor was probably hoping for a juicy settlement, but Apple chose to fight it. The patents have already been invalidated, and now it's just a question of whether the appellate forum agrees with that invalidation.
