“Ukuze igagasi lamanje lokuphoqelela umthetho wokungathembeki libe yimpumelelo ngempela ekukhuthazeni ukuncintisana kokusungulwayo, kufanele kubandakanye ukuqashelwa kwemvelo emangalisayo yokuncintisana yohlelo olunamandla lwelungelo lobunikazi lwase-US, lona ngokwalo okufanele lukhuthaze iCongress ukuthi iphathe isikhathi eside isenzo esisheshayo sifana nokuguqulwa kwe-Article 101.”
Ngasekupheleni kukaJuni, inkampani yobuchwepheshe bezokwelapha iMasimo Corporation kanye nenkampani engaphansi kwayo iCercacor Laboratories bafaka isikhalazo ku-US International Trade Commission (ITC), becela le nhlangano ukuthi yenze uphenyo oluyi-337 ezinhlotsheni eziningi ze-Apple Watch.Izinsolo zikaMasimo, ezihlanganisa nokuqulwa kwamacala ayimfihlo eNkantolo Yesifunda Yase-US, zilandela isitatimende esijwayelekile lapho inkampani enkulu yezobuchwepheshe (i-Apple kuleli cala) ixoxisane ngelayisensi nonjiniyela omncane wezobuchwepheshe.Ukuze nje ukuzingela abasebenzi kanye nemibono evela enkampanini.Izinkampani ezincane azidingeki ukuthi zikhokhe imali yokuqala yonjiniyela.
Ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukiswe nguMasimo noCercacor ecaleni elibhekene ne-Apple yi-pulse oximetry yesimanje, engahlola izinga lokugcwala komoyampilo egazini lomuntu, eliwusizo ekuxilongeni izinkinga zezempilo ezahlukahlukene kanye nokuqapha impilo jikelele.Nakuba amadivaysi e-pulse oximeter asekelwe ekukhanyeni aziwa kahle, ubuchwepheshe bukaMasimo busekela ukukalwa kwezinga lomtholampilo, futhi imishini yendabuko inezinkinga zokufundwa okungalungile, ikakhulukazi uma isihloko sisebenza noma ukugeleza kwegazi okuphansi.Ngokusho kwesikhalazo sikaMasimo, ngenxa yalokhu kushiyeka, ezinye izinto ezisetshenziswayo ze-pulse oximetry ezitholakala kubathengi “zifana kakhulu namathoyizi.”
Isikhalazo sikaMasimo seSigaba 337 sathi u-Apple waxhumana noMasimo ngo-2013 ukuze baxoxe ngokuthi kungenzeka yini ukuhlanganisa ubuchwepheshe bukaMasimo kumadivayisi akwa-Apple.Ngokushesha ngemva kwale mihlangano, u-Apple kuthiwa waqasha Isikhulu Esiyinhloko Sezokwelapha sikaMasimo kanye NePhini Likamongameli Omkhulu uMichael O'Reilly ukuthi asize inkampani yakhe ekuthuthukiseni izinhlelo zokusebenza zezempilo nezamaselula ezisebenzisa izilinganiso ezingahlanyisi zamapharamitha wokuphila.UMasimo uphinde waveza esikhalazweni se-ITC ukuthi u-Apple uqashe uMarcelo Lamego, owayengusosayensi wocwaningo eMasimo, owayesebenza njengesikhulu sezobuchwepheshe eCercacor, nakuba ayengumsunguli welungelo lobunikazi likaMasimo elifunwa yi-ITC, Kodwa uthe wafunda ngokusebenzisana noMasimo emsebenzini wokugada i-non-invasive physiological monitoring ngoba akanalo ulwazi lwangaphambili kulo mkhakha.Nakuba uLamego athi angeke ephule izibopho zenkontileka kaMasimo ngokusebenza ngokusekelwe kulwazi lobunikazi bukaMasimo, uMasimo wathi uLamego waqala ukwenza isicelo selungelo lobunikazi le-Apple ngokusekelwe kubuchwepheshe bukaMasimo obuyimfihlo be-pulse oximetry.
Khona-ke, ngoJulayi 2, ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemva kokuba uMasimo efake isikhalazo sakhe seSigaba 337, uchungechunge lobufakazi lwafaka icala lokwephulwa kwelungelo lobunikazi elifakwe ku-Central District of California ngokumelene ne-True Wearables, inkampani ekhiqiza imishini ye-pulse oximeter.Inkampani yemishini yezokwelapha, inkampani yasungulwa nguLamego ngemuva kokuphela kokubambisana ne-Apple.Ubufakazi obulethwe ukusekela isiphakamiso se-Apple sokuhoxisa i-subpoena buhlanganisa ukushintshaniswa kwe-imeyili evela ku-akhawunti ye-imeyili kaLamego yaseStanford eya ku-CEO ye-Apple u-Tim Cook ngo-Okthoba 2013. ULamego wabhala kuyo, nakuba Enqabe imizamo yangaphambili yabaqashi be-Apple ukujoyina i-Apple.Ngenxa yemisebenzi yakhe yokwethembeka njenge-CTO ye-Ceracor, unentshisekelo yokujoyina i-Apple ukuze asize inkampani yakhe imishini yezokwelapha.Ikakhulukazi, esikhundleni sesikhundla somqondisi ophezulu wezobuchwepheshe we-Apple, uLamego uhlongoze ukukhombisa i-Apple ukuthi ingaxazulula kanjani "isibalo sesiguli", asibiza ngokuthi "ingxenye ekhohlisayo" yokwakha idivayisi ephumelelayo yokuqapha impilo.“Cishe sonke isibalo sabantu”, hhayi nje ama-80%.Phakathi namahora angu-12, uLamego uthole impendulo evela kuDavid Affourtit, ngaleso sikhathi owayenguMqondisi Wokuqashwa Kwama-Apple.Wabe esecela uLamego ukuthi axhumane nophiko lokuqasha kwa-Apple, okwaholela ekutheni uLamego aqashe enkampanini.
Umsunguli weMasimo kanye ne-CEO uJoe Kiani utshele i-IPWatchdog ngenkathi ephawula ngalokhu kuthuthukiswa ecaleni lenkampani elibhekene ne-Apple: “Kuyamangaza ukuthi noma yimuphi u-CEO, ikakhulukazi inkampani ethi Inkampani esungula izinto izokwenza noma yini ngaphandle kokwazisa umnyango wezabasebenzi.Ungaqashi umuntu owenza iziphakamiso ezinjalo.”
Isinqumo sika-Apple sokuqasha u-Lamego nokufaka isicelo selungelo lobunikazi esisekelwe olwazini lukaLamego ngobuchwepheshe bobunikazi bukaMasimo sesibe ingqikithi yecala likaMasimo elibhekene ne-Apple ne-True Wearables maphakathi neCalifornia.Nakuba iJaji lesiFunda sase-US u-James V. Selna lasichitha isicelo sokuqala somyalo ngo-Okthoba wonyaka odlule esavimbela ukushicilelwa kwesicelo selungelo lobunikazi be-Apple esibeka uLamego njengomsunguli oyedwa, iJaji Selna lathola ukuthi uMasimo angase asekelwe emaqinisweni okuvezwa kwezimfihlo zohwebo. .Kusetshenziswe kabi i-Apple.Ngo-Ephreli walo nyaka, iJaji uSelna lagunyaza isiphakamiso sokuqala sokuqulwa kwecala likaMasimo ngokumelene ne-True Wearables esivimbe ukushicilelwa kwesinye isicelo selungelo lobunikazi esifaka uLamego futhi sathi siqukethe ubuchwepheshe obakhiwe futhi buvikelwe izimfihlo zohwebo zikaMasimo.Ngakho-ke, i-True Wearables kanye ne-Lamego iyalwe ukuthi ithathe zonke izinyathelo ezidingekayo ukuze kuvinjelwe ukudalulwa kwezicelo zelungelo lobunikazi ezihlobene nanoma ubani omunye adalule izimfihlo zohwebo zikaMasimo.
Njengoba izenzo eziningi zokungathembeki ngokumelene nezinkampani ezinkulu zobuchwepheshe (ikakhulukazi i-Google ne-Apple) ziqhubeka nokuthuthuka, kusobala ukuthi imikhakha eminingi yemboni yezobuchwepheshe yase-US isebenza ngaphansi kwesistimu ye-feudal, futhi izinkampani ezifana ne-Apple zisebenzisa inkululeko yazo yokubusa.Ukweba noma yini ebagculisayo kuvela ezinkampanini ezisungula izinto ezintsha, ezephula isibopho esivamile samalungelo empahla yengqondo.Okuphazamisa kakhulu ukuthi uma inhlonipho efanele inikezwa amalungelo elungelo lobunikazi, njengalawo aphethwe yi-BE Tech, umsunguli wokukhangisa okuhlosiwe kokusesha nge-inthanethi, noma i-Smartflash, umsunguli, khona-ke igagasi lamanje lokungathembeki lingase lingadingeki kuwo wonke ama-A. isitolo sezinhlelo zokusebenza zedijithali sihlinzeka ngokugcinwa kwedatha eyisisekelo kanye nesistimu yokufinyelela.
Nakuba umyalo kaMongameli uJoe Biden wakamuva wokulondoloza ukuncintisana emnothweni wase-US uvuma kahle ukuthi “izingxenyekazi ezimbalwa ze-inthanethi ezivelele zisebenzisa amandla azo ukuze zingafaki abangena emakethe,” ugxile kakhulu ekusetshenzisweni kwemithetho yokungathembeki ukuxazulula izinkinga.Ezindaweni ezimbalwa lapho umyalelo wokuphatha ukhuluma ngamalungelo obunikazi, baxoxa ngokungathembani ngelungelo lobunikazi “elibambezeleke ngokungenangqondo…ukuncintisana”, esikhundleni sokuxoxa ngezinzuzo zamalungelo obunikazi aqinile ezinkampanini ezincane ezizama ukuncintisana ne-Apple ne-Google..umhlaba.Ukuze igagasi lamanje lokuphoqelela umthetho wokungathembeki libe yimpumelelo yangempela ekukhuthazeni ukuncintisana kokusungulwayo, kufanele kubandakanye ukuqashelwa kwemvelo yokuncintisana ngendlela emangalisayo yohlelo olunamandla lwegunya lobunikazi base-US, lona ngokwalo okufanele lukhuthaze iCongress ukuthi yenze ngokushesha ngokumelene nokubambezeleka kwesikhathi eside.Iphrojekthi ishintshiwe njenge-Athikili 101.

Ungakhohlwa ama-IPR angama-21 athunyelwe i-Apple ukuze avumele abalandeli babo e-USPTO ukuthi bahoxise amalungelo obunikazi kaMasimo kulokhu okuqanjwa okuhamba phambili.

Amazwi kaTim Cook adumile athi: “Siyayihlonipha into entsha.Lesi isisekelo senkampani yethu.Asisoze santshontsha ubuhlakani bomuntu.”
Khumbula, lokhu kwakungemva kokuba efunde ngezinqumo eziningi zokwephulwa kwelungelo lobunikazi ngamabomu, nangemva kokuba u-Apple akhokhele amakhulu ezigidi zamadola ku-VirnetX ngokwephulwa kwelungelo lobunikazi ngamabomu.Mhlawumbe u-Apple akakholelwa ukuthi ukwephulwa kwelungelo lobunikazi ngamabomu “ukweba i-IP yomunye umuntu”.
U-Tim Cook wayazi ukuthi wenze ukuqamba amanga, njengoba nje u-Apple wayazi ukuthi yephula amalungelo obunikazi ngamabomu njengengxenye evamile yohlelo lwayo lwebhizinisi.
Ngabe ukhona kuCongress ozimisele ukumelana ne-Apple?Ingabe ukhona kuCongress okhathazekile ngokuqamba amanga?Noma ukwebiwa kwe-IP yasekhaya?
