Apple Submits Software Fix To Fix Their Apple Watch Patent Issues

Clearly Apple is not counting on the courts to rescue Apple from the Apple Watch patent mess that they find themselves in. According to a report, here’s what Apple is working on:

Winning the brief stay fulfilled one part of Apple’s multi-pronged approach to recover from the ITC’s decision. Apple’s plans for a comprehensive solution to the patent fight also include redeveloped software now submitted to a US customs agency, that could allow it to sell non-infringing versions of the devices as soon as Jan 12, all while continuing to appeal the ITC loss.

This is an interesting approach. I say that because Masimo’s CEO has said that the patents that Apple violated are hardware patents. Perhaps I am missing something, but how do you fix a hardware issue with software? I guess we’re going to find out because if Apple isn’t going to pay off Masimo, and if they lose in court on appeal, this software fix is their only option.
