Apple won the court ruling after appealing to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.ApproveRequest for stay of executionUS International Trade Commission ban, which means that the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, which were originally banned from sale in the United States due to patent lawsuits, will be able to resume sales for a short time.
The time limit for Apple to suspend the execution of the ban will be postponed to January 2024, 1. If Apple successfully resolves the product infringement issue before then, it will be able to continue selling Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 9 in the US market.
Apple is expected to avoid situations where its products may affect the technology patents of medical technology company Masimo through software updates. However, Masimo CEO Joe Kiani believes that its patents involve software and hardware design projects, so even if Apple uses software updates, it will not be able to completely avoid infringement issues.
Although it is still uncertain how Apple will resolve the problem, at least the temporary suspension of the ban will help Apple continue to sell new Apple Watch products during the year-end promotion.
