Masimo Gets 7 Days to Respond to Objections by Its Former CTO

U.S. District Judge James Selna for Central California in Santa Ana ordered Masimo to respond by Tuesday to the objections by its former chief technology officer that the company stretched the truth in its proposed final judgment in the case that found the ex-CTO guilty of misappropriating Masimo trade secrets, said a text-only entry Tuesday (docket 8:18-cv-02001). Masimo and its Cercacor Labs subsidiary went too far in their proposed judgment when they sought to prevent ex-CTO Marcelo Lamego and his company, True Wearables, from keeping certain confidential documents, argued lawyers for Lamego (see 2211290018). The proposed judgment seeks “to expand on the definition of confidential information” by insisting that Lamego surrender documents that are “neither identified in the proposed judgment nor supported” by Selna’s finding of fact in the case, they said.
