• Apple may face an import ban and cease-and-desist order on sales of most Apple Watch models on Christmas Day due to a ruling by the International Trade Commission.

• The ruling states that Apple Watches infringe on patents held by Masimo Corp. and Cercacor Laboratories.

• Masimo argues that Apple has engaged in “efficient infringement” by using other companies’ technologies without permission.

• Apple denies these claims and says it respects intellectual property.

• The legal battle between Masimo and Apple is ongoing, with multiple lawsuits and patent claims involved.
