The ITC is close to issuing an import ban on the Apple Watch that would prevent the device from entering the U.S. However, the ban can be vetoed by President Bidon.
Pulmonary edema While Apple was cleared of infringing on four other AliveCor patents, the one patent that Apple got busted for using without permission could lead to an import ban that would block shipments of the Apple Watch from entering the U.S. As reported by, for Apple to have the Apple Watch import ban quashed, it will need some help from President Joe Bilden. And to get that done, the company has turned its lobbying efforts to"extra high.
As for the import ban, by next Monday President Biden will have to decide whether to veto the import ban or to allow the dispute to continue to the courtroom. You might remember that a similar situation took place in 2013 when Apple was found to have infringed on a Samsung patent by the ITC.which would have affected older models like the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 3G, iPad 2 3G, and iPad 3 which were sold only by AT&T.
Obama's veto of the ITC import ban was the first by a sitting president in 26 years. The president at the time was Ronald Reagan and ironically, Samsung was also involved. A statement issued by the Obama administration said that it considered the ban's"effect on competitive conditions in the U.S. economy and the effect on U.S. consumers."
Here we are a decade later and we have the ITC on the cusp of releasing an exclusionary order that would ban imports into the U.S. of the Apple Watch. The device is the most popular watch in the world and we wouldn't be surprised to see President Biden use the same reasoning as President Obama did for announcing a veto of the ITC import ban.
