Apple accused of stealing important technology features

Apple accused of stealing important technology features

Posted on Dec 31, 2019

Apple introduced its SmartWatch in 2018 to function like an ECG machine, which catches a heartbeat and even alerts when to consult a doctor.

In fact, this feature was deemed crucial to saving lives, and in November, a man claimed that Apple Watch played a role in saving his life by making timely alerts to his heartbeat.

But now a cardiologist at New York University claims that he actually designed the technology that was stolen by Apple, and for this reason, he has filed a lawsuit against the company.

According to a Bloomberg report, an expert named Joseph Weasel claimed he invented and patented random heart-detecting technology years ago and filed a lawsuit last week to recover from Apple.

Apple introduced this feature and said that it is a life-saving feature of the consumer, which was first introduced in the Apple Watch 4, but is now available in all Apple Watch models.

Joseph Weasel filed patents in 2002 of a heart-tracking device.

The patent stated that the device would alert people randomly to a heartbeat through a pulse.

In his lawsuit, Joseph Weasel said he had informed Apple of his patent in 2017, but the company declined to discuss the matter.

Apple has not yet received a response or statement in this regard
