Apple appeals to overturn the U.S. trade tribunal's decision banning imports of some Apple Watches. The appeal challenges the basis of the ban, citing 'series of substantively defective patent rulings' and Masimo's lack of investment in competing U.S. products.
Masimo accuses Apple of technology theft and poaching its employees, leading to the ban on Apple's Series 9 and Ultra 2 smartwatches. Apple temporarily resumed sales after a Federal Circuit intervention, but later removed pulse oximetry features.
Apple argues the ban is unjust as Masimo's patented wearable technology was 'purely hypothetical' during the ITC complaint. It also claims Masimo's patents are invalid and Apple watches do not infringe them.
