Biden Administration 'Tracking' Apple Watch Case — Could White House Veto The Ban?
Portfolio Pulse from Ananya Gairola
The Biden administration is closely monitoring a potential ban on Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) Watch sales due to a patent infringement dispute with Masimo Corp (MASI). The International Trade Commission found that Apple Watch models infringed on Masimo's patents related to blood oxygen sensing. U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai is considering the case, with a decision due by December 25. Despite the potential ban, JPMorgan analysts believe the impact on Apple's revenue may be minimal.
