"Apple's Extensive Appeal Against Apple Watch Ban"

Apple has filed a 916-page appeal to the Federal Circuit over the ban on sales of Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, which was imposed by the International Trade Commission due to patent infringement claims by medical device-maker Masimo. Apple's appeal argues that Masimo lacked an actual smartwatch and domestic industry at the time of the complaint, and questions the jurisdiction of the ITC. The appeal raises concerns about the potential implications of the decision and highlights the ongoing legal battles between tech companies and the ITC.

"Legal Battles and Health Features: Apple's Watch Woes Continue"

Apple is expected to remove the blood oxygen level detection feature from its upcoming Apple Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 models following a patent case ruling by the International Trade Commission. The ruling found that several Apple Watches infringed on patents held by Masimo, a medical technology company. Despite the change, existing Apple Watches with the blood oxygen level detection feature will continue to function as usual. This move represents a setback for Apple's efforts to expand the health features of its smartwatches, which have previously gained FDA approval for heart rate measurement and added capabilities for fall detection and pulse rate monitoring.

"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.

Apple Stock Slides as Company Halts Apple Watch Sales Amid Patent Dispute

Apple's stock slipped over 1% after the company announced it will halt sales of its Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the coming days. This decision comes after the International Trade Commission (ITC) granted medical device maker Masimo cease-and-desist and limited exclusion orders preventing Apple from importing and selling the watches in the US. Apple is pulling the watches ahead of time to ensure compliance if the White House doesn't intervene. The ban only applies to direct sales through Apple, while other retailers can still sell existing stock. The Apple Watch line is one of Apple's most successful accessories, contributing to its wearables, home, and accessories business, which brought in $39.8 billion in revenue in fiscal 2023.

Apple Watch Faces Potential Import Ban in US After Patent Dispute Ruling

The International Trade Commission (ITC) has upheld a previous ruling that found Apple in violation of patents held by health technology company Masimo, potentially leading to a ban on importing Apple Watches to the United States. The ITC's decision comes after a legal battle between the two companies, with Masimo accusing Apple of patent infringement and stealing trade secrets. President Joe Biden has 60 days to veto the ban, although it is rare for presidents to intervene in such cases.
