(Reuters) -Apple ( AAPL ) convinced a federal jury on Friday that health monitoring tech company Masimo's ( MASI ) smartwatches infringe two of its design patents.

The jury, in Delaware, agreed with Apple ( AAPL ) that Masimo's ( MASI ) W1 and Freedom watches and chargers willfully violated Apple's ( AAPL ) patent rights in smartwatch designs, awarding the tech giant $250 in damages. Apple's ( AAPL ) attorneys told the court the "ultimate purpose" of its lawsuit was to win an injunction against sales of Masimo's ( MASI ) smartwatches after an infringement ruling.

The jury also determined that Masimo's ( MASI ) watches did not infringe Apple ( AAPL ) patents covering smartwatch inventions that the tech giant had accused Masimo ( MASI ) of copying.

Masimo ( MASI ) said in a statement that the company appreciated the jury's verdict "in favor of Masimo ( MASI ) and against Apple ( AAPL ) on nearly all issues," and that the decision only applied to a "discontinued module and charger."

"Apple ( AAPL ) primarily sought an injunction against Masimo's ( MASI ) current products, and the jury's verdict is a victory for Masimo ( MASI ) on that issue," Masimo ( MASI ) said.

Apple ( AAPL ) said in a statement that it was "glad the jury's decision today will protect the innovations we advance on behalf of our customers."

Irvine, California-based Masimo ( MASI ) accused Apple ( AAPL ) of hiring away its employees and stealing its pulse oximetry technology after discussing a potential collaboration. Masimo ( MASI ) convinced the U.S. International Trade Commission last year to block imports of Apple's ( AAPL ) Series 9 and Ultra 2 smartwatches after the commission found that their technology for reading blood oxygen levels infringed Masimo's ( MASI ) patents.

Apple ( AAPL ) has appealed the decision and resumed selling the watches after removing the technology. The tech giant countersued Masimo ( MASI ) for patent infringement in 2022, alleging that Masimo ( MASI ) copied Apple Watch features to use in its smartwatches.

Apple ( AAPL ) also accused Masimo ( MASI ) of using lawsuits at the ITC and in California to "make way for Masimo's ( MASI ) own watch." Masimo ( MASI ) said Apple's ( AAPL ) patent lawsuit was "retaliatory" and "an attempt to avoid the court in which the parties have been litigating their dispute."
