The ban on the Apple Watch is causing a lot of discussion in the United States. The apple firm has in fact receivedthe ban on the sale of certain Apple Watches on American soilsince December 25. This measure was taken by theUnited States International Trade Commission(ITC) afterFieldsfiled a complaint against Apple.
Fieldsalso manufactures connected watches and accuses Apple of havingstole patents and skilled employees. The patents relate to the oximeter for measuring oxygen saturation in the blood. They are integrated into two Apple Watch models:the Apple Watch Series 9, as well as the Ultra 2.The SE, for its part, does not have the oximeter functionality and is therefore not affected by the measurement.
The Biden administration does not intervene
While Apple may have expected the presidency to come to its aid by vetoing it,this ultimately did not happen. The United States International Trade Commission also confirmed this in a press release yesterday:“After extensive consultations, Ambassador Katherine Tai has decided not to reverse the ITC’s decision.”Katherine Tai is a member of Joe Biden's presidential cabinet and a US trade policy negotiator and spokesperson.
