JAKARTA - The wearable devices Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 are being sold again, after previously the federal appeals court in Washington DC was given a temporary pause over imports and sales bans.

In a statement to Engadget, Apple told them it was nice that the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit would still maintain an exclusion order while considering our request to keep the order pending our full appeal.

The case first emerged due to a lawsuit issued by medical technology company Masimo alleging that the blood oxygen sensor used on the latest Apple Watch device violated two patents.

After that, on December 21 at 3pm US East time, Apple announced that it would no longer sell the Apple Watch Series 9 or Ultra 2.

Then, in accordance with the decision of the United States International Trade Commission (ITC), sales of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 were officially discontinued on December 24.

Although ITC has banned the sale of the two smartwatches, Apple still has hope that the ITC decision will be reviewed at the White House. This review lasted 60 days and will end on Monday, December 25.

While Apple can now sell the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, the ban could be reinstated on January 10, when the ITC has decided whether to give Apple a longer pause.
