Early ruling says Apple Watch redesign not infringing patents, Bloomberg reports

A redesigned Apple Watch doesn’t infringe two Masimo (MASI) patents, a U.S. trade judge found in an early win for Apple (AAPL) that could allow imports of the device if the full agency agrees it falls outside a 2023 ban, Bloomberg’s Christopher Yasiejko reports. Apple’s Redesign 2 Watch doesn’t directly infringe asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 10,912,502 and 10,945,648 and doesn’t induce infringement when used with an iPhone in the U.S., according to Administrative Law Judge Monica Bhattacharyya’s enforcement initial determination issued Wednesday at the U.S. International Trade Commission.
