I never understood the timing of all of this either. The ITC isn't a body that rules on patents right? So why would they be ruling on this without any clarity on the infringement part?As expected, the ITC should have waited until courts could sort out the patent issues.
They had to wait until the veto period ran out.Can anyone explain why this case was only heard after the ban came into effect?
Surely it would have been better before sales were disrupted?
Bad publicity has bankrupted companies, and drove people to suicide.
Dumb take.
And catapulted people to the White House. Go figure.

Because it is a US entity despite the misleading nameHow can a US court overrule an ITC decision? If that is possible, any court in any country could do that.
The appeal wasn't heard, an emergency injunction was which is common for small and big companiesFunny how big business can get an appeal heard or seen so quick. Try that with a smaller business youâll be waiting months.

Anyone has a link to the Masimo patent the Apple Watch is supposed to infringe on?

The current ruling/ban is for future AWs, has no implication to AWs already sold.So if that becomes a requirement will apple be protected from lawsuits about removing a paid for and advertized feature?

That what I'm thinking but some on here think Apple will release an update to disable for all.The current ruling/ban is for future AWs, has no implication to AWs already sold.
The likelihood of Apple having two separate software versions based on sale date is very low IMO.That what I'm thinking but some on here think Apple will release an update to disable for all.
So you think Apple is going to have two different versions of watchOS based on date of sale?The current ruling/ban is for future AWs, has no implication to AWs already sold.
As expected, the ITC should have waited until courts could sort out the patent issues.
my point is how many lawyers Company A has to hire in order to find such flaw? I never knew you could "ban" the "ban" temporarily. Can Company B file try to ask ITC or cournt to unban the ban of the ban? lift the ban of the ban so Company A can be banned as they expected? I am so confused about all these rules, can't believe our legislators and lawyers in the United States are doing nothing but benefit themselves and know how to play around the rules they created and leave all the back doors for themselves. Who is going to protect us? didn't Company B's CEO said he believes even the world largest company is under such broken law? lol... what a dramaThis is a major MAJOR flaw in patent law.
To be clear, I have no idea about this particular patent. I have no idea if Apple is at fault or not, though the facts seems to indicate they wronged.
The issue is as follows:
Company A, is a small to mid-size company. They invest significantly in a product and then further spend lots of money to ensure it is properly patented. Company B is a major company with two dozen in-house lawyers and a top law firm on retention. Company B knowing and intentionally violates the patents of Company A. Company A sues, at great expense, limiting cash-flow and funds for to R&D.
In the end, Company A runs out of money and they loose millions in patent licensing during the years, or decades, it takes to run through the court.
Company B goes on vacation in their private jets, fully-staffed yachts with mistresses in toe, high-fiving each other, knowing they just stole millions without repercussions thus reinforcing the nefarious behavior.
Again, I'm not saying this is Apple or not. I'm saying the system is broken.
Very easy to do based on serial number, where sold etc. They did this for years with the EKG sensor based on country. I don't think they will disable it for the ones sold etc or they would have a legal mess on their hands.So you think Apple is going to have two different versions of watchOS based on date of sale?
Maybe get all stock they can to retailers. They are not banned if starts again.yea, I was wondering about that, they might think that stopping, starting and potentially stopping again an a couple weeks might look more ridiculous, who knows
The courts arguably had - they invalidated three of Massimo's five patents and failed to invalidate the other two due to a hung juror.
I could see Massimo feeling they were in trouble pursuing the matter through the courts based on how their patents were being invalidated and went to the ITC to see if they could get relief via an import ban, presumably to put pressure on Apple to settle.
Yea, I know, in case that were to happen, Iâd be one of the first to sue Apple for disabling a feature I paid for, and all of those who say this feature is âminimalâ and âI donât use it anywayâ will be right there too.That what I'm thinking but some on here think Apple will release an update to disable for all.
