News information from Bloomberg point out that Apple obtained a decision that temporarily suspends the ban on US International Trade Commission (International Trade Commissionor ITC) on the sale of Apple Watches Series 9 e Ultra 2 not country.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued the suspension [PDF] today (12/27), one day after Apple filed an emergency appeal against the ITC’s decision.
ITC now has up to January 10, 2024 to present its response to Apple’s request for a complete stay of the ban decision while the appeal is processed. The agency, it is worth remembering, initiated proceedings against Apple after the medical monitoring technology company Fields accused Apple of hiring its employees to steal technology related to blood oxygen monitoring in the Apple Watch.
The fact is that this means that the company can resume sales of the aforementioned Apple Watch models, for now. However, the company has not yet responded whether it will resume sales now.
As for the import of the aforementioned models to the USA, today’s order will not be valid immediately, because US Customs will have to process the decision to allow the devices to enter the country again.
It is worth remembering that Apple developed a “redesign” (probably software) that could mitigate the problem. The company presented this project to the US customs agency and said that the agency should decide by January 12, 2024 whether to approve or reject the changes.
