The American International Trade Commission (ITC) recommended on October 27 to ban several models of the Apple Watch in the United States, the apple brand being accused by Masimo of copying its oxygen level detection technologies in the blood.
A court temporarily lifted the ban last month, but it is due to take effect once more on Thursday, pending the outcome of Apple’s appeal.
Apple manufactures the vast majority of its products overseas, primarily in China, giving the ITC jurisdiction over this subject.
According to some media, Apple plans to remove for the moment the blood oxygen level detection system from the affected watches (Series 9 and Ultra 2), a solution that Masimo welcomed.
Masimo claims to have invented this technology and accuses Apple of having poached key employees to integrate it into its accessories.
But the iPhone maker maintains that the ITC’s conclusion is wrong and has appealed the decision. The wait might last a year or more.
