The United States Federal Court of Appeals has rejected Apple's proposal against the temporary suspension of the Apple Watch import ban.

Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 are banned from import.

This ban was implemented according to a decision of the United States Inte ational Trade Commission that took effect last month.

That is due to infringement of patents registered under another company.

However, earlier this month Apple received approval to import a refurbished Apple Watch to comply with US Customs and Border Protection.

The Apple Watch reportedly lacks a pulse oximeter function, a medical scanner technology that measures the concentration of oxygen in the bloodstream, and a feature that was at issue in the patent dispute.
