� � � � � � You Might Like � � � � � � � � � Apple Can Restart Watch Sales as U.S. Court Pauses Ban - WSJ    Apple won a temporary reprieve for its $18 billion smartwatch business after a U.S. appeals court on Wednesday paused a federal agency's import ban on most of its watch models. The ruling will allow sales to resume in the coming weeks while the court weighs Apple's request to pause the ban pending its appeal. The company has sought approval from U.S. Customs and Border Protection on redesigned versions of the two watch models subject to the ban. The customs office is responsible for enforcing import bans and is scheduled to decide on Apple's redesign on Jan. 12. The technical fix could allow the watches to be sold in the U.S. again after Apple was found to have violated the patents of Masimo, an Irvine, Calif.-based medical technology company. The October decision by the U.S. International Trade Commission banned the import into the U.S. of some versions of the Apple Watch over violations of patents. The Biden administration declined to overturn the ruling by a Dec. 25 deadline.

A lot would have to go right for that to happen, but it isn't as outlandish as it sounds. Examples of the economy escaping a tightening cycle from the Federal Reserve without entering a recession are few. Some cite the Fed's rate cuts in 2019, though it is impossible to know how that would have ended without the pandemic. The most frequently mentioned example is a series of rate hikes in 1994. They wreaked havoc on markets that year, but were soon followed by the dawn of a golden period for both Wall Street and Main Street.

Faced with U.S. sanctions and other restrictions, Russia and Iran in particular have stepped up oil sales in alternative currencies, and have found buyers in China, India and elsewhere that are happy to buy these exports, often at lower prices. The need is less pressing for other commodity heavyweights. But some of these countries, including Brazil, the United Arab Emirates and even Saudi Arabia, have recently taken steps laying the groundwork for trade that sidesteps the dollar.

In a complaint filed Wednesday, the Times said the technology companies exploited its content without permission to create their AI products, including OpenAI's humanlike chatbot ChatGPT and Microsoft's Copilot. The tools were trained on millions of pieces of Times content, the suit said, and draw on that material to serve up answers to users' prompts. The suit opens a new front in a yearslong battle between tech and media companies over the economics of the internet, pitting one of the news industry's biggest players against pioneers of a new wave of artificial-intelligence technologies. It comes after months of commercial negotiations between the companies failed to produce a deal, according to the Times. Continued here
