米国特許訴訟（vs Apple）

ニューヨークの医師がAppleを特許権侵害で訴えるという裁判を起こしてます。Apple Watchが心拍数等を計る機能が問題となっているようです。

New York cardiologist Joseph Wiesel, MD, has filed a lawsuit alleging that Apple incorporated features of his patented method to detect atrial fibrillation into its Apple Watches and is engaging in "willful, intentional, and deliberate" patent infringement.
Wiesel, a clinical assistant professor at NYU Langone Health in New York City, received a patent (No. 7,020,514) in March 2006 for a "method and apparatus that determines the presence of atrial fibrillation" by detecting "pulse beat intervals over a short time period."
