You may have heard of Apple’s patent dispute with medical technology company Masimo, resulting in a ban on Apple watches with SPO2 sensor in the US. Well, the cupertino-based tech veterans were also involved in a legal battle with health tech company Elevesor, which may lead to an Apple Watch import ban by the International Trade Commission (ITC), but now it will not happen as the US Court of Appellates of the Federal Circuit has ruled in favor of Apple.
The US Court of Appeals upheld a decision by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the US Patent and Trademark Office, stating that EKG Patent – Center for Eliver’s EKG Patent – is not the center of controversy.
Alivecor filed a case with ITC, claiming that Apple had violated his EKG patent with Apple Watch, and was in favor of the ruling Alivecor as ITC recommended import ban on the sale of apple watches with EKG facility in the US.

Apple appealed to PTAB to reply to the disputed patent of Alivecor, and PTAB found that the patents were really unattainable. The decision has now been retained by the US Court of Appeals, which has been rejected by AliveCor’s ITC case against Apple.
,We thank the Federal Circuit for its careful consideration in this case. Apple’s teams have made tireless efforts for many years to develop industry-agronic health, welfare and safety facilities that impress the lives of users meaningfully, and we intend to live on this path,“Apple said.
And what is here Alivecor said:
,This morning we are deeply disappointed with the decisions of the court and the court did not review the available secondary ideas, which ITC was found to be motivational in search of validity. Today’s decision does not affect our business or millions of customers’ ability to continue innovation for growing base.
These cases are beyond Elevesor; These cases represent every small company and every future innovation which is a threat to being suppressed by a goal. Our fight against Apple is required for innovation, fair competition, and the ability to ensure that the inventors – both today and the future – are required for the creation and scale of new technologies.
We will continue to find out all available legal options, including a possible appeal to defend our position, that our patents are valid and Apple has violated our intellectual property rights. As we move forward, our focus remains on changing the industry with clinically valid, AI-operated solutions that help reach cardiac care. ,
