Apple products banned
The US International Trade Commission issued an order banning Apple products,
whether imported or sold through the company’s website or its stores.
This decision came after the court ruled in favour of the medical device company Masimo, in a patent infringement case.
The Court of Appeals in Washington ruled to temporarily suspend the ban,
while Apple seeks the Cancellation of the decision
Apple stated: “Our teams have been working tough over the past years
to develop technology to enable Apple users to enjoy health and safety features.
We are happy with the decision of the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to suspend the ban,
while we are working on an appeal to overturn the decision completely.”
Reason for ban
In October, the International Trade Commission ruled that
Apple violated Masimo’s patent and used Masimo’s blood oxygen sensing feature in Apple smartwatches
The temporary cancellation of the ban led to a decline in Masimo’s share price by 6.3%.
Apple stopped selling product
Apple decided to stop selling the Series 9 and Ultra 2 smartwatches in electronic stores
and retail stores in the implementation of the decision of the International Trade Commission.
Sales had stopped on December 21, remarking that Christmas Eve was the last day for selling watches in Apple stores. For retail.
