The Apple Watch is facing the threat of a US import ban in the wake of an International Trade Commission (ITC) ruling that it violated patents held by Masimo on the use of wearables to measure blood oxygen levels.
The decision marks the second time in a year that the ITC has ruled against Apple over a feature of the device and – unless vetoed by President Joe Biden in the next 60 days – could in principle result in a ban on Apple Watch imports into the US.
