"Apple's Redesign Strategy to Circumvent Import Ban on Apple Watch Features"
TL;DR
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has stated that Apple can potentially bypass an import ban on newer Apple Watch models by implementing a redesign, following a patent infringement dispute with Masimo. The ban, issued by the U.S. International Trade Commission, applies to certain Apple Watch models, but Apple has convinced a U.S. appeals court to temporarily pause the ban while it contests the ruling. The customs agency's decision may be subject to review by the ITC. Masimo has accused Apple of infringing its patents and stealing technology, while Apple has countered with its own legal actions.
