Apple to pull out its latest Apple Watch after losing patent dispute
By MYBRANDBOOK
After losing a patent dispute, Apple will stop selling two of its newest smartphone watches from this week. Apple said that it would stop selling the Series 9 and Ultra 2 versions of its popular watch following medical technology company Masimo alleging the tech giant infringing on its patent for a blood oxygen sensor that can read someone's pulse.
Starting Thursday, the impacted Apple Watches will no longer be accessible for online purchase, and they will be taken off retail store shelves on Christmas Eve.
In October, the U.S. International Trade Commission determined that certain Apple Watches infringed on Masimo's patents related to the blood oxygen feature, which Apple has incorporated into most of its smartwatches since 2020.
The commission issued an import ban on the watches that include the technology that was set to take effect on Dec. 26, but Apple acted on the deadline early.
Apple Watches already purchased with the blood oxygen feature are not affected by the order.
The commission, tasked with providing advice to the White House and Congress on various matters, including intellectual property disputes, operates under presidential oversight. Apple is contesting the commission's ruling and is urging the Biden administration to overturn it. The White House has until Christmas Day to make a decision on this matter.
Masimo, a publicly-traded company headquartered in Irvine, California, specializing in the sale of patient monitoring devices to hospitals, perceives Apple's choice to halt watch sales as a form of validation.
