Import ban applies to Apple’s Series 9 and Ultra 2 watches and stems from patent infringement dispute with Masimo
US Customs and Border Protection has determined that Apple’s redesigned Apple Watch is not subject to an import ban, according to a Monday court filing.
The import ban, issued by the US International Trade Commission (ITC), applies to Apple’s current Series 9 and Ultra 2 watches and stems from a patent infringement dispute with the medical-monitoring technology company Masimo.
The ITC barred Apple’s imports and sales of Apple Watches with technology for reading blood-oxygen levels based on allegations that they infringe two Masimo patents.
