(Boursier.com) — A federal appeals court temporarily suspended the ban on the importation and sale of the models Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 from the Californian group at Apple in the United States. Apple was forced to stop selling the watches in the United States after the International Trade Commission determined that the Cupertino giant had violated patents owned by the medical technology company Masimo. Apple can therefore resume marketing the watches concerned for the time being. The FT recalls that the Biden administration had previously rejected the idea of intervening in this patent dispute.
Apple had appealed the ban to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington. The court lifted the ban on Wednesday while it considered the Californian group’s request for a longer-term pause during the appeal procedure. Wednesday’s ruling allows Apple to continue importing and selling the offending watches while the court considers whether to suspend the ban while the appeal proceeds.
