I've not seem anyone manage to turn up what sort of terms Masimo would want to license their patent. It's certainly possible that what they want is unreasonable, particularly since they seem to be launching their own smartwatch. Of course, Apple famously loves its high margins on products, and it might be fighting here to keep a 30% profit on the Watch rather than 28%.

FTA: “In its earlier suit, which ended with a deadlocked jury, Masimo wanted Apple to pay more than $3 billion in damage”
So, they’re claiming that patent is worth half the company. I guess that’s, at least, quite a high initial offer.
