US Apple Watch sales and import ban: What you need to know
rob53 said:"It was also reasoned by Masimo that the U.S. public would not be affected by an Apple Watch import ban as the sensor isn't "essential to the public health or welfare." This was due to Apple's warnings in fine print that the measurements from the sensor "should not be relied upon for medical purposes," Masimo declared." If the Apple sensor isn't of any medical value then why is Masimo suing Apple? Is Apple's implementation inferior to Masimo's? Is Apple's implementation even similar to Masimo's? Who actually owns the original pulse oximetry patents? Is Masimo violating someone else's patents?Apple is a real bully. Apple + Masimo met for partnership/acquisition talks but Apple had a secret plan (Project Everest) to steal the tech without paying. They even recruited 20 of Masimo’s team, doubling their salaries…. Apple paid their CTO $4M to come over, and in his 1st 2 weeks he filed 12 patents for sensors at Apple that were Masimo trade secrets… the worst part is that Apple fumbled the ball and the product doesn’t really work and Apple didn’t get FDA approval like Masimo did.Joe Kiani, the immigrant electrical engineer CEO of Masimo seems to be fighting this as a vendetta - he’s spent >$60M fighting Apple so far & preliminarily seems to have won… most companies would not keep fighting.

Apple will pause U.S. Apple Watch sales starting December 21

Right now Apple feels it’s cheaper and easier to announce they’re going to comply with the order and fight it in the courts. If necessary, they’ll simply buy the company outright. Announcing they are actually going to stop selling the latest. Apple Watch is a brilliant move. The Biden administration can use any win it can get right now. They’ll probably make a big deal of announcing they saved Christmas or something.Apple is a real bully.

As of now, it’s impossible to manufacture in the US. It would take years to be able to start producing a product here.greginprague said:
@pwrmac If the Apple Watch was manufactured in the USA then this ruling would have no effect. You can’t effectively ban imports to the USA if the product isn’t coming from outside the USA. The larger civil trial over the patent validity/infringement/damages is separate from the import ban.paisleydisco said:

Apple does the same thing. They are just as ruthless as anyone else in the world.badmonk said:I still don’t understand why an established well defined 50+ year old technology can lead to these decisions. We live in a time when cheap $20-30 pulse oximeters are readily available. Obviously none of these manufacturers are paying royalties to Masimo.
Of all the crazy patent claims why this one and not one of the previous patent fights??!

Apple and Goldman Sachs to part ways on Apple Card, no successor named
No way Apple gets the demands they want this time.
