Apple Watch Import Ban Fight Returns to USITC
By Editorial Team
Masimo’s attempt to reinstate a limited-exclusion order to bar the import of Apple watches over patent infringement claims was dismissed in District of Columbia district court last week after the US International Trade Commission agreed to review the heart monitor manufacturer’s claims. The decision follows a California jury’s $634 million patent infringement verdict in favor of Masimo and against Apple.
Masimo’s motion for a temporary restraining order to reinstate a limited exclusion order (LEO) barring the import of Apple Watches was dismissed as moot in Washington, DC, district court last week, after the US International Trade Commission began its own proceeding to determine if Apple’s redesigned watches violate the earlier LEO.
