"ITC Pushes for Reinstatement of Apple Watch Ban Amid Weak Apple Appeal"

The U.S. International Trade Commission has argued against allowing the sale of Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 while Apple appeals a ruling that it infringed on patents for blood oxygen monitoring tech. The Commission contends that Apple's case for continuing sales is weak and effectively amounts to requesting permission to continue alleged patent infringement. The U.S. Appeals Court has set a deadline for responses to Apple's request, and a decision could lead to the return of a ban on these smartwatches.
