Apple wins bid to pause Apple Watch ban at US appeals court

Apple has won a bid to pause the Apple Watch ban at a US appeals court. The ban, which was initially ordered by a Texas federal judge due to a patent infringement claim from Nevada-based company Personalized Media Communications, would have prevented Apple from selling or importing its smartwatches. However, Apple managed to convince the appeals court that the ban would cause irreparable harm and disrupt its business operations.

US Customs and Border Protection has determined that Apple can use a redesign to bypass an import ban on newer Apple Watch models. The ban, issued by the US International Trade Commission (ITC), applies to Apple's current Series 9 and Ultra 2 watches and initially went into effect on December 26. Apple convinced a US appeals court to pause the ban the next day and has since resumed selling the watches as it contests the import ruling. The customs agency's decision could be overruled if the ITC disagrees with it.

Apple is reportedly planning to remove the blood oxygen functionality from its Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models to bypass the import ban if its appeal is unsuccessful. The import ban was imposed due to a patent dispute between Apple and medical device maker Masimo regarding blood oxygen monitoring technology. Masimo claims that certain Apple Watch models infringe on its patents. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is expected to rule on Apple's motion for a stay on the ban soon.

The U.S. Court of Appeals affirmed Apple's victory in a patent case against AliveCor, dismissing a bid to block U.S. imports of Apple Watches. AliveCor's patents for heart-rate monitoring were deemed invalid. AliveCor had sought an import ban, claiming Apple infringed on its technology with the Apple Watch Series 4 onwards, but the appeal ruling nullified this. AliveCor expressed disappointment and may pursue further legal avenues, while Apple highlighted its commitment to health features.

Apple has filed an appeal and an emergency request to halt the ban on the import of its watches by the US International Trade Commission (ITC). The ban was based on a complaint from Masimo, a medical monitoring technology company. The ITC order bars imports and sales of Apple Watches that use technology for reading blood-oxygen levels. Apple has included this feature in its smartwatches starting with the Series 6 model. The company has appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and is seeking a pause in the ban until a decision is made by US Customs and Border Protection.

Apple plans to continue its appeal, while Epic Games celebrates the decision as ending the "Apple tax." Apple argues the decision impairs business control and service access.

A US federal appeals court upheld a law requiring China-based ByteDance to divest TikTok in the United States by January 19, 2023, or face a ban. TikTok and ByteDance had sued to block the law, citing free speech concerns, but the court ruled in favor of the government due to national security considerations. The ruling could still be appealed to the Supreme Court. If the ban takes effect, US tech companies allowing users to access TikTok could face fines. The Chinese government's approval would be needed for divestment of TikTok's recommendation algorithm.

TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, have urgently requested the US Supreme Court to block the government's ban on the social media platform. The ban is set to be enforced next month if the parent company fails to sell the app. A federal appeals court recently upheld the ban, dismissing TikTok's claims of free speech protections. The Supreme Court's decision or any potential actions by the incoming administration could impact the ban's implementation after January 20. President-elect Donald Trump has suggested reconsidering his stance on TikTok. The Supreme Court has been asked to decide by January 6.

TikTok has urged a federal appeals court to overturn a law requiring ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, to sell its US assets or face a ban. TikTok argues that the US Department of Justice has made factual errors by misstating the app's ties to China. The law, signed by President Biden in April, gives ByteDance until January 19 to divest from TikTok. The case will be heard by the appeals court on September 16, making it a significant issue in the final weeks of the presidential election. Congress passed the law due to concerns about national security and data privacy.

A US federal appeals court has upheld a law requiring ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns TikTok, to sell or divest its US assets by January 19, 2023, or face a ban in the country. The decision is a major blow to ByteDance and TikTok, and increases the likelihood of a ban on the popular social media app used by 170 million Americans. The court ruled that the law was designed to counter a national security threat posed by China and that it was not in violation of Americans' free speech rights.
