Apple Inc.
AAPL,
has scored a summary judgment in an antitrust lawsuit filed by AliveCor over heart-rate technology in the Apple Watch. Federal Judge Jeffrey White of the the Northern District of California made the ruling, which remains under seal, on Jan. 31. “At Apple, our teams are constantly innovating to create products and services that empower users with health, wellness, and life-saving features,” an Apple spokesperson said. “AliveCor’s lawsuit challenged Apple’s ability to improve important capabilities of the Apple Watch that consumers and developers rely on, and today’s outcome confirms that is not anticompetitive.” AliveCor said it plans to appeal the decision.
