Following the ruling of the International Trade Commission (ITC), Apple has stopped selling Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 watches in the United States. This ruling was issued regarding a lawsuit over the patent of the medical company Masimo.
The ruling states that the blood oxygen sensor technology of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 infringed Masimo's patent. Now Apple has decided to stop selling these watches.
Of course, the Apple case has entered a 60-day period of investigation by the President of the United States, which will end on December 25. Joe Biden can veto the issued sentence during this period. Apple has issued a statement opposing the ITC's decision. The company has said that it is considering legal remedies to ensure the availability of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2.
It should be noted that the ITC ruling will only affect the sale of Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, which have the ability to measure blood oxygen, and will not affect other models.
Apple plans to appeal to the court of appeals. The company has assured its customers that it is actively trying to resume the sale of its watches.
