The U.S. Court of Appeals has vacated a $300 million verdict against Apple in a long-running patent dispute with Optis Wireless, ordering a new trial in the case. This ruling allows Apple to avoid the immediate payment of damages related to the alleged infringement of wireless technology patents. Separately, Apple is actively appealing a trade tribunal decision that banned imports of Apple Watches featuring a blood-oxygen sensor, arguing that the ban unfairly affects millions of users and that the U.S. International Trade Commission exceeded its authority in imposing the restriction. Apple and Masimo, the parties involved in the dispute over the Apple Watch import ban, continue to contest the matter in federal appeals court. Additionally, Apple successfully defeated a claim that it shortchanged customers on iCloud storage upgrades, with a U.S. federal appeals court rejecting the allegations. The company is also leveraging a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that limits federal judges' power to issue nationwide injunctions in its ongoing appeal against Epic Games concerning the App Store. In related patent litigation, Verizon Wireless was ordered by a Texas federal court to pay $175 million in damages for infringing an inventor's wireless communications patents. Meanwhile, a $9 million judgment against NFT creator Yuga Labs in a dispute over alleged counterfeit Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs was overturned by a U.S. appeals court, which has ordered a new trial.
