Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 Sales Ban Paused by US Appeals Court

The ban on imports (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/12/26/apple-watch-import-ban-official/) of Apple Watch Series 9 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch/) and Apple Watch Ultra 2 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch-ultra/) models has today been temporarily paused, meaning that the devices can now go back on sale for a short while longer in the United States.

Apple filed an emergency request to the United States Court of Appeals following President Biden's decision to decline a veto on the sales ban, allowing it to take effect earlier this week. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit today accepted (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cafc.21094/gov.uscourts.cafc.21094.19.0_1.pdf) an interim stay while the court reviews Apple's request for a full stay for the length of the appeal, effectively pausing the ban on Apple Watch imports for a brief period.



The International Trade Commission (ITC) now has until January 10 to file its response to Apple's request for a full stay while the appeal plays out. The ITC initiated proceedings against Apple after Masimo accuses Apple (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/12/19/masimo-ceo-on-apple-watch-ban/) of hiring away its employees to steal technology related to blood oxygen monitoring in the Apple Watch.<div class="linkback">Related Roundups: Apple Watch Series 9 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch/), Apple Watch Ultra 2 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch-ultra/)</div><div class="linkback">Tag: Masimo (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/masimo/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: Apple Watch (Buy Now) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Apple_Watch), Apple Watch Ultra (Buy Now) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Apple_Watch_Ultra)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: Apple Watch (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/apple-watch.172)</div>
