"The ITC decided to terminate the case and refer to a preliminary ruling from one of its judges in March that claimed that Apple's redesigned smartwatches don't infringe on patents held by Masimo."
"Apple thanked the ITC in a statement, adding that 'Masimo has waged a relentless legal campaign against Apple and nearly all of its claims have been rejected.'"
"The patent battle dates back to 2021 with Masimo's first filing against Apple that requested an import ban on Apple Watches."
"While Masimo may currently be on the losing side of this legal battle, it's confronting Apple on multiple fronts."
The US International Trade Commission ruled against reinstating an import ban on Apple Watches, allowing Apple to sell its devices with updated blood-oxygen monitoring technology. The ITC terminated the case based on a preliminary ruling that Apple's redesign does not infringe on Masimo's patents. This decision may provide closure to the ongoing legal dispute that began in 2021. Masimo has the option to appeal the ruling, while it previously won a separate case against Apple, resulting in a $634 million judgment.
