2 models of Apple Watch can go on sale again, for now, after court lifts halt over a patent dispute

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:34 GMT

Two higher-end models of the Apple Watch can go on sale again after a federal court temporarily lifted a sales halt ordered by the International Trade Commission over a patent dispute. The ITC, a federal agency, ordered the halt in October to block Apple from using specific technologies underpinning a blood-oxygen measurement system in its Series 9 and Ultra 2 watches. Apple has been embroiled in an intellectual property dispute with the medical technology company Masimo over those technologies.Apple cut off online sales of the watches in the U.S. on last week just days from the Christmas holiday to comply with the ITC ruling. The court’s action will allow sales of the two Apple Watch models pending its decision on whether to also permit sales as it weighs Apple’s appeal. As of 3 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, neither of the Apple Watch models in question were available at Apple’s online store.This isn’t the first patent roadblock the Apple Watch has run into as the company m...

He says Iowa will reveal how dominant former President Trump is in this race. "Donald Trump is far and away the leader here and anything less than a 50% showing could show some cracks in his lead," Belt said. Trump also faces several legal challenges. The Michigan Supreme Court just ruled he could stay on the ballot, but the Colorado Supreme Court recently decided to kick him off. The U.S. Supreme Court will likely take up the case soon and Belt expec...
