Apple Inc. (AAPL) is pushing back against a ban on some of its smartwatches after Presi♛dent Joe Biden's administration chose not to wade into the dispute.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) issued the original order to block sales of the Apple Series 9 and Ultra 2 watches in the U.S. after it had determined Apple violated two patents held by health tech firm Masimo Corp. (MASI). The patente꧟d technology in question uses a senso☂r to measure blood-oxygen levels.

On Tuesday, the 澳洲幸运5🐼开奖号码历史查询:Office of the U.S. Trade Represent꧒ative said the U.S. government wouldn't step in and overrule the prohibition. Ambassador Katherine Tai, who serves as U.S. Trade Representative, said that "after careful consultations," Tai decided not to reverse the ruling by the ITC, making it final.

Apple said it strongly disagreed with the ITC decision and resulting exclusion order and would challenge the ruling in the U.S. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In addition, the compan🌱y filed an emergency motion asking the judges to lift the ban until the case is considered.

Apple shares were down slightly Tuesday. Shares of Masimo rose more than 2%.
