USITC Denies Masimo's Request to Reinstate Apple Watch Ban

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has denied Masimo's request to reinstate a ban on the Apple Watch, effectively concluding a long-standing case involving alleged blood oxygen patent infringements. This decision, supported by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on March 19, 2026, represents a significant legal victory for Apple. Following the ruling on March 18, the ITC declared that Apple has no additional obligations to remedy the situation, solidifying its market position without facing potential export restrictions.
