Apple says it will appeal a US ban on imports and sales of its Series 9 and Ultra 2 watches.
The move comes after the Biden Administration on Tuesday declined to take emergency action to lift restrictions over a patent dispute.
Medical device maker Masimo has accused Apple of poaching its employees and technology.

Earlier this month, Apple “pre-emptively” removed the devices from its US site and from stores in the country. Sales elsewhere have not been affected.
The USITC order, issued in October, was subject to a 60-day review by the president, who has the power to veto the decision. That review period ended on Christmas Day.
The office of the United States Trade Representative Ambassador Katherine Tai said on Tuesday that it had decided not to reverse the USITC’s decision after “careful consultations”.
Apple had asked for a stay on the ban until Customs and Border Protection (CBP) could consider if the redesigned versions of its watches, which does not include the disputed technology, violate Masimo’s patents. CBP is due to make its decision on 12 January, according to an Apple spokesperson.
