Apple unable to sell Series 9 and Ultra 2 models in US while it challenges decision that watches infringe on patents
Apple Watches capable of reading blood-oxygen levels cannot be imported into the US while Apple challenges a government decision that the devices infringe on patents, a federal appeals court ruled on Wednesday. Imports of the smart watches equipped with blood oximeters were previously allowed while the appeal wound its way through court.
The ruling by the US court of appeals for the federal circuit means the affected watches cannot be imported starting at 5pm on 18 January while Apple appeals the US International Trade Commission’s ban.
