Saxon Seeks Import Ban on Apple Watch Sport

Saxon Glass Technologies asked the International Trade Commission to issue a limited exclusion order banning imports of an Apple smart watch due to trademark infringement. Saxon’s Tariff Act Section 337 complaint said the Apple Watch Sport’s Ion-X strengthened glass infringes and dilutes Saxon’s own Ionex mark. Saxon seeks a limited exclusion order and cease and desist order banning importation and sale of infringing Apple smart watches. The ITC now seeks comment by Nov. 25 on public interest issues raised by the complaint, the agency said in a notice in Tuesday's Federal Register. Apple didn't comment Wednesday.
