CASE OF THE WEEK
Apple Inc. v. ITC, Appeal No. 2024-1285 (Fed. Cir. Mar. 19, 2026)
In our Case of the Week, the Federal Circuit upheld a major ruling from the International Trade Commission against Apple Inc. in its patent dispute with Masimo Corporation, confirming that certain Apple Watch models infringed Masimo’s blood-oxygen monitoring patents and were properly the subject of an exclusion order barring their importation.
The patents at issue, U.S. Patent Nos. 10,912,502 and 10,945,648, cover “wearable technology that measures user physiological metrics by way of optical emitters and photodetection.”
