    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The clock has wound down on the newest Apple Watch after the White House declined to issue a last-minute, emergency action to keep the best-selling smartwatch on store shelves.

    In October, the US International Trade Commission ruled that Apple was in violation of a pulse oximeter patent, which uses light-based technology to read blood-oxygen levels.

    Other retailers, including Amazon and Best Buy, among others, continue to sell their remaining stock of Apple Watches in stores and online.

    The company may be able to make software tweaks, perhaps changing the way the Watch interacts with the pulse oximeter so that it does not violate Masimo’s patent.

    Masimo CEO Joe Kiani told CNN he believes Apple deliberately infringed on his company’s patents.

    In 2013, President Barack Obama vetoed an ITC ruling to ban older iPhones and iPads after it determined Apple was in violation of one of Samsung’s patents.
