Version 0.06 (2023-12-19 08:59:34.044000)

updates: Apple will temporarily halt sales of Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 in the US due to a patent dispute with Masimo. The halt in sales comes after Masimo won a patent dispute over the smartwatch's blood oxygen sensor at the US International Trade Commission (ITC). The ITC issued an exclusion order for the devices, subject to a 60-day presidential review period. Apple plans to appeal the decision and may disable the blood oxygen sensor to comply with the exclusion order. The ban does not affect the cheaper version of the watch without the blood oxygen sensor. Apple is also facing an import ban in a separate patent dispute with AliveCor. The ITC ruling found that Apple violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 by importing and selling Apple Watches that infringed on Masimo's patents. Apple plans to stop selling the affected models and is pursuing legal and technical options to ensure availability to customers. The Series 9 and Ultra 2 will still be available from non-Apple outlets, but Apple will no longer be able to import them to the US after December 25.

updates: Apple will temporarily stop selling its Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 models in the United States after December 21st due to an ongoing patent dispute with medical technology company Masimo. The halt in sales comes after healthcare technology company Masimo won a patent dispute over the smartwatch's blood oxygen sensor at the US International Trade Commission (ITC). Unless Joe Biden vetoes the ITC decision, imports of the smartwatch will be blocked from Christmas Day. Apple will suspend online sales of the smartwatches from Thursday and stop selling them in-store from 3pm on Christmas Eve. The ruling does not apply to a cheaper version of the watch that does not feature the blood oxygen sensor. Apple is considering its legal options and plans to file an appeal on December 26. The suspension of online sales could impact revenues at the end of Apple's crucial Christmas trading period.
