US President Joe Biden administration decided to approve the International Trade Commission’s decision to ban the sale of Apple Watch’s latest model smart watches due to copyright infringement.
This was stated in a statement released by the Office of the US Trade Representative on Tuesday, Ukrinform reported.
“On October 26, 2023, the ITC found that Apple infringed two patents owned by United States-based Masimo Corporation and Cercacor Laboratories,” the US agency said.
Pursuant to an executive order from the President of the United States, the Office of the Trade Representative has the authority to review and reverse or confirm ITC decisions within 60 days.
“After careful consultation, (US Trade Representative – ed.) Ambassador Tai decided not to overturn the ITC’s decision, hence this decision became final on December 26, 2023,” the message said.
As reported, Masimo Corporation and Cercacor Laboratories, companies operating mainly in the medical field, filed a complaint with the US International Trade Commission that Apple violated their copyrights. Particularly concerned with the use of blood oxygen sensors in Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 smart watches, the commission decided to stop the sale of these models.
