Biometric specialist Valencell has filed two separate lawsuits alleging that both Appleand Fitbit have incorporated its patented heart rate monitor technology into their smartwatches.

The company details meetings that it had with people from both teams about licensing its work, including one with Fitbit at CES in 2014, but says no formal agreements were made before both companies launched their relevant wearables last year.

Usually because of unique inventions, many companies always forget to check their homeworks for handling patents and how it should be use without committing copyright issues. So no surprise for that classic scandal since its a competition to implement something new without any hesitation.
