But this doesn’t mean Apple Watches will disappear from shelves soon.
If enforced, the potential import ban would affect the Apple Watch Series 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and Ultra.Patent battles aren’t new. Given the Apple Watch’s popularity and the size of Apple’s coffers, it’ll be surprising if an import ban actually materializes. What’s more likely is that AliveCor and Masimo — and other companies pursuing a similar route — are hoping to win a handsome licensing fee for Apple to use their patents.
Even so, that would also potentially set a legal precedent with wide-reaching implications for how wearable makers approach future health tech features, including blood pressure and blood glucose monitoring. These kinds of features are already time and resource intensive to develop. Adding licensing and patent battles to the mix would add another layer of complexity. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, especially if it encourages greater competition within the space.
