Biden Administration allows US trade tribunal's ban on Apple Watch imports
Tuesday, 26 December 2023 The US President Joe Biden's administration has declined to veto a ban on imports of Apple Watches that use patent-infringing technology for reading blood-oxygen levels. The ban, based on a complaint from medical monitoring technology company Masimo, will go into effect on Dec. 26. Apple has paused the sales of its Series 9 and Ultra 2 smartwatches in the United States since last week. Masimo accuses Apple of stealing its pulse oximetry technology. Apple can appeal the ban to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
President Biden has declined to overturn a US International Trade Commission decision ruling that Apple’s newest Apple Watch models violate patent rights. Veuer’s Matt Hoffman has the story.
