Apple Watch Ban Takes Effect as White House Declines to Veto USITC Action

Apple Files Emergency Request to Appeals Court to Halt Ban

UPDATE: See the latest news that broke the day after this story was posted at the bottom of this story…

The Masimo vs. Apple saga continues as the ban on Apple Watch models that the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) declared infringed on multiple Masimo Corp. (NASDAQ: MASI) patent claims is now in full force as the Biden Administration declined to veto the USITC decision. Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) hopes for a presidential intervention countermanding the USITC ban from taking effect were dashed as the Presidential Review period expired at the end of Monday – yes, Christmas Day – with no action taken by the White House.

Speaking for the Biden Administration Tuesday morning, Katherine Tai, the U.S. Trade Representative said the government “decided not to reverse the ban following careful consultations.” With that, the Apple Watch ban took full effect.

WiSA Fiscal ’23 Q3 Revenues Drop 18%, Net Loss Deepens; New Nasdaq Violations

November 29, 2023 by Ted Leave a Comment

WiSA graphic of its fiscal 2023 third quarter financial results

Earlier this month, WiSA Technologies released its Fiscal 2023 third-quarter earnings report and it was not a pretty picture. Still, company CEO Brett Moyer struck an optimistic tone and said its results were “better than expected.” Then he shifted attention to a focus on the company’s latest WiSA E technology which he suggests is making huge positive gains that point to a brighter future.

Can investors ignore the messy present financial condition…to hold on for a – maybe – brighter tomorrow???

Is WiSA delusional…or on to something?

October 27, 2023 by Ted Leave a Comment

Masimo Freedom Watch

Masimo Corporation (NASDAQ: MASI) scored a big win Thursday in its ongoing battles with Apple, Inc. when the United States International Trade Commission (USITC or ITC) sided largely with Masimo and issued a Limited Exclusion Order and a Cease and Desist Order against certain Apple Watch models that infringe on select Masimo patents. This exclusion order bans the import of those models that incorporate Masimo’s patented light-based pulse oximetry technology in violation of U.S. trade laws.

Current Stock Price Violates NASDAQ Listing Rule…Again

On Monday, WiSA Technologies, a developer and licensor of spatial, wireless sound technology, publicly announced the pricing of a new $4.8 million public offering of Series B convertible redeemable preferred stock and warrants. Separately, and a little less publicly, the company also filed a Form 8K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) revealing that it is “pursuing a potential strategic transaction.”

The result of both of these pieces of news is that the company’s stock value nosedived as investors turned thumbs down on this latest turn of events at the troubled organization.

After $32.5M Jury Win for Sonos, Judge Throws Out Jury Verdict and Finds for Google

Declares Sonos Patents Unenforceable & Invalid

In a shocking twist to a long-running patent battle, U.S. District Court Judge William H Alsup declared Sonos’ ‘966 and ‘885 patents at trial are unenforceable and invalid effectively countermanding a jury decision on behalf of Sonos and a royalty award of $32.5 million. Furthermore, the judge’s order suggests that Sonos abused the patent system by attempting to use it to “punish an innovator” and to “enrich a[n] [innovation] pretender.”
