The White House has been paying close attention to a potential ban on Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) Watch sales, triggered by a patent infringement dispute with Masimo Corp (NASDAQ:MASI).
What Happened: A possible ban on the majority of Apple Watch sales in the U.S. has the Joe Biden administration on high alert, reported Bloomberg. The White House has been “tracking” the case actively.
While the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch Series 9 have been fairly popular among consumers, these smartwatches risk being banned from import into the U.S. or sold by Cupertino.
The International Trade Commission found that these watches broke patents owned by Masimo related to blood oxygen sensing.
