"Apple Watch Health Feature Removal Sparks Controversy and Import Bans"

Apple will no longer offer the ability to measure blood oxygen levels on newly purchased Apple Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 models in the U.S. following a patent case loss to medical technology company Masimo. The U.S. International Trade Commission found that some Apple Watches violated Masimo's patents and issued a ban on the import of watches with the technology. Apple continues to appeal the case, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has reinstated the feature ban, requiring changes to remove the technology at the center of the patent fight.

Apple's Victorious Bluetooth Pairing Patent Case and Meta Claim Construction

Apple has successfully defended itself against claims of patent infringement related to Bluetooth pairing for AirPods. One-E-Way had argued that their patents for a "unique user code" were infringed by Apple's pairing system, claiming that pairing with a device is equivalent to pairing with a specific user. However, the judge ruled that a unique user code is not the same as a unique device code, stating that a user and a device are different things, even if a device is only used by a single user.

The case centred on wireless technology used in Apple's iPhones, iPads and other devices. The court rejected Apple's argument that Caltech's patents were invalid because they failed to disclose enough information about the technology.

The Far-Reaching Impact of Antibody Patent Disputes in Biotech

A patent case before the US Supreme Court over rights to therapeutic antibodies that are used to treat high cholesterol could have far-reaching impacts on drug prices and technology. The decision could affect how specific patents of any ilk must be when they describe an invention, and how broad they can be. A win by Amgen could hinder the development of new medicines by restricting competition and discouraging the development of multiple therapeutic antibodies that bind to the same target.
