Apple on Tuesday appealed a decision to ban imports of its watches based on a complaint from medical moniA toring technology company Masimo, after US President Joe Biden's administration declined to veto a government tribunal.
The tech giant also filed an emergency request on Tuesday for the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to halt the ban.
It asked the Federal Circuit to pause the ban at least until US Customs and Border Protection decides whether redesigned versions of its watches infringe Masimo's patents, and to put the ban on hold while the court considers Apple's request. The customs office is due to make its decision on 12 January, Apple said.
Masimo has accused Apple of hiring away its employees, stealing its pulse oximetry technology and incorporating it into the popular Apple Watch.
The US International Trade Commission's (ITC) order bars imports and sales of Apple Watches that use technology for reading blood-oxygen levels.
Apple has included the pulse oximeter feature in its smart watches starting with its Series 6 model in 2020.
