Apple is now banned from selling its latest Apple Watches in the US::Apple can no longer sell the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Watch Series 9 in the US. The International Trade Commission issued an import ban on the devices that took effect on December 26th, 2023.
Ooh gotta love when they get a taste of their own poison. They’ve blocked import of so many devices resembling theirs or third party made spare parts to control the market and now it’s coming around to bite them in the ass.
Except now it’s because of a patent dispute instead of “because I said so!”
The fact that they seem to really have expected a Biden “pardon” is absolutely hilarious to me.
Most likely didn’t spent enough on
bribeslobbying.Apple should be forced to pay licensing fees for the products being sold until supplies last…
Obama did veto an ITC ban on Apple before but Masimo is an American company unlike Samsung.
Struck by the very thing they love to do.
“The ban only affectrf Apple stores in the US.” Top notch journalism. If only there was a way to easily see if there are typos in your text…
I guess that’s the 1 time patent laws help the working class compared to the 999 times it hinders them.
How badly do you have to screw up for the United States to crackdown on you as a private company?
I’m an Apple fan but… yeah, they deserved this one.
And somehow it’s already been overturned
