La Ukuvinjelwa kokungeniswa kwe-Apple Watch e-United States Impikiswano yelungelo lobunikazi nenkampani yezobuchwepheshe bezokwelapha iMasimo ingene esigabeni esisha ngemuva kwezinqumo zakamuva zenkantolo kanye ne-US International Trade Commission (ITC). Impi yezomthetho ayikapheli, kodwa i-Apple isiqinisekisile ukufinyelela emakethe yase-US ngamawashi ayo ahlelwe kabusha, kanti inguqulo yokuqala yesinye sezici zayo zempilo eziyinhloko isavinjelwe.
Ngenkathi i-United States inquma ukuthi yimaphi amamodeli angawela umngcele nokuthi yiziphi izici ezisebenzayo, ku EYurophu naseSpain, i-Apple Watch iyaqhubeka nokuthengisa ngokujwayelekile.ngaphandle kwemingcele ethile kuleli cala. Noma kunjalo, icala libeka isibonelo esifanele sokuqonda ukuthi izici zezempilo ezithuthukisiwe kumadivayisi kagesi athengiswa kuzo zombili izinhlangothi ze-Atlantic.
Indlela okwaqala ngayo ukuvinjelwa kokungenisa kwe-Apple Watch
Umsuka wengxabano uqala emuva eminyakeni engaphezu kweyisithupha, lapho UMasimo usole i-Apple ngokuzingela abasebenzi ababalulekile ngokungekho emthethweni futhi basebenzise ithuba labo ubuchwepheshe be-pulse oximetryisetshenziselwa ukukala amazinga e-oxygen egazini. Leli khono laba ngesinye sezici zezempilo eziphawuleka kakhulu ze-Apple Watch ezizukulwaneni ezithile zewashi.
Ngemva kokuphenya izikhalazo, IKhomishini Yezohwebo Yamazwe Ngamazwe yase-US yaphetha ngo-2023 ukuthi amanye amamodeli e-Apple Watch aphule amalungelo obunikazi kaMasimo ahlobene nale ndlela yokulinganisa. Umphumela waba umyalo wokukhishwa okulinganiselwe owaholela ekuvinjelweni kokungeniswa kwamamodeli akamuva njenge-Apple Watch Series 9 kanye ne-Apple Watch Ultra 2 emakethe yase-US.
Lesi sinqumo sibe nomthelela oqondile esu lebhizinisi lenkampani emakethe yayo eyinhloko. Ukuze kugwenywe ukuvalwa ngokuphelele, i-Apple yaqale yakhetha Susa umsebenzi wokufunda umoya-mpilo egazini amayunithi ayeya e-United States, okuvumela amawashi ukuthi aqhubeke nokuthengiswa kodwa engenazo ezinye zezici zawo zezempilo ezibonakala kakhulu.
Lesi sinyathelo sibonwe njengesixazululo sesikhashana nesingenakusimeme. I-Apple, echithe iminyaka ibeka i-Apple Watch njengedivayisi yezempilo nenhlalakahle, yayingazimisele ukushiya esinye sezici zayo eziphambili. Ngakho-ke, yethule uhlelo olusha lwe-Apple Watch. ukwakhiwa kabusha kobuchwepheshe kwesici se-oxygen yegazi ngenhloso yokuhlonipha i-oda le-ITC ngaphandle kokulahla ngokuphelele ulwazi lomsebenzisi.
Ukuklanywa kabusha komsebenzi we-oxygen egazini kanye nendima ye-Customs
Into ebalulekile ekuvuleni, okungenani ingxenye, Ukuvinjelwa kokungenisa kwe-Apple Watch Kwakuwukudalwa kwenguqulo eguquliwe yomsebenzi wokulinganisa umoya-mpilo wegazi. Kulo mklamo omusha, iwashi liyaqhubeka nokusebenzisa izinzwa zalo ukuqoqa idatha, kodwa ukucubungula nokwethulwa kolwazi kuhluke kakhulu kunguqulo yokuqala.
Ekuqalisweni kokuqala, i-Apple Watch ngokwayo Ibonise amazinga okugcwala ngqo esikrinini sayo. we-oxygen yegazi. Ngokuklanywa kabusha, i-Apple ithuthele ulwazi oluningi lokucubungula nokubonisa kumadivayisi ahlobene njenge-iPhone, ukuze ulwazi luphathwe kakhulu ngaphandle kwewashi, ifuna ukusuka endleleni echazwe kumalungelo obunikazi kaMasimo.
Lesi sixazululo kwadingeka sibuyekezwe yi-U.S. Customs and Border Protection, eyayinesibopho sokunquma ukuthi amamodeli aklanywe kabusha asangena yini ngaphansi komyalelo wokukhishwa okhishwe yi-ITC. Ngemva kokuhlaziywa kwawo, I-Customs inikeze imvume yokungenisa amawashi e-Apple aguquliwe, echaza ukuthi inguqulo elungisiwe ayizange yephule imikhawulo ebekiwe kubuchwepheshe bokuqala.
Ngenxa yaleso sinqumo, i-Apple yakwazi ukuthengiswa kabusha kwamawashi abo akamuva emakethe yase-US kanye nomsebenzi we-oxygen wegazi ovuselelwe kabusha osuvele ukhona. Ngokwemibandela engokoqobo, ukuvinjelwa kwakunqunyelwe enguqulweni yokuqala yalesi sici, kuyilapho uhlobo olusha lugunyaziwe ukungena e-United States nokufinyelela ezitolo.
Nokho, uMasimo akazange ahlanganyele kule ncazelo futhi wasabela ngokufaka izicelo ezintsha zokuba kube njalo. izobuyekeza isimo samamodeli abuyekeziweLe nkampani yaphikisana ngokuthi, naphezu kwezinguquko, ukwakheka kwe-Apple kusalokhu kungaphansi komyalelo wokukhishwa kwezimpahla nokuthi, ngenxa yalokho, ukungeniswa kwezimpahla kwamanye amazwe kufanele kuqhubeke nokumiswa.
Izinqumo zakamuva ze-ITC: ukuthi yimaphi amamodeli asathinteka
Ukuphikelela kukaMasimo kwaholela esigabeni esisha sokubuyekezwa ngaphakathi kwe-ITC. Kuleso sigaba, iJaji Lomthetho Wokuphatha uMonica Bhattacharyya lahlaziya ngokuningiliziwe ukusebenza komsebenzi oshintshiwe. Esinqumweni salo sokuqala, ijaji laphetha ngokuthi Amawashi e-Apple aklanywe kabusha awazange aphule amalungelo obunikazi. ohilelekile ecaleni lokuqala, okwavula ngokusobala umnyango wokuvala inqubo yokubulawa.
Ngokuhambisanayo, i- INkantolo Yokudlulisa Amacala Yesifunda SikahulumeniInkantolo eseWashington ibuyekeze umyalelo wokuqala ohlobene nenguqulo yokuqala yalesi sici. Inkantolo inqume ukusekela ukuvinjelwa kokusetshenziswa kokuqala kokulinganisa umoya-mpilo egazini, iqinisekisa ukuthi lolu hlobo oluthile lusavinjelwe e-United States.
Kwakusazobonakala ukuthi iKhomishini Yezohwebo Yomhlaba Wonke izovula kabusha yini isibuyekezo sayo sesinqumo sikaBhattacharyya. Ngemva kokucabangela izicelo ezivela ku-Apple noMassimo, i-ITC yanquma ukungabuyekezi isinqumo sokuphathaNgamanye amazwi, yamukela isiphetho sokuthi imikhiqizo evuselelwe kabusha ayiphuli amalungelo obunikazi kaMasimo futhi, ngenxa yalokho, akufanele ikhishwe emakethe ngaphansi kwemigomo yomyalelo wokukhishwa okulinganiselwe.
Ngalesi sinqumo, i-ITC iqede inqubo yokuphoqelela umthetho kusukela emyalweni wokuqala. UMasimo, owayehlose buyisela ukuvinjelwa okuphelele Ngokuphathelene ne-Apple Watch ngomsebenzi omusha we-oxygen egazini, le ndlela ethile ivaliwe, yize inkampani igcina ezinye izinketho zomthetho zivulekile ezimweni eziphezulu.
Empeleni, isimo samanje e-United States singafingqwa kanje: Uhlobo lokuqala lomsebenzi we-oxygen egazini lusavinjelwe.Nakuba amamodeli anokusetshenziswa okuqanjwe kabusha angaqhubeka nokungeniswa nokuthengiswa ngaphandle kwemingcele eyasetshenziswa ngo-2023 ku-Apple Watch Series 9 kanye ne-Ultra 2.
Impendulo ye-Apple kanye nezinketho ezisatholakala kuMassimo
Ngokombono we-Apple, isiphetho salesi sigaba sihlangatshezwe ngempumuzo. Esitatimendeni, inkampani Ubonge i-ITC ngesinqumo sayo Ugcizelele ukuthi lesi sinqumo siqinisekisa ukuthi singaqhubeka nokunikeza abasebenzisi lesi sici sezempilo ngenguqulo ehlelwe kabusha yokulinganisa umoya-mpilo egazini e-United States.
I-Apple iphinde yathatha leli thuba ukugcizelela ukuthi, ngokombono wayo, UMasimo ubelokhu eqhuba umkhankaso wezomthetho oqhubekayo iminyaka engaphezu kweyisithupha ngokumelene nenkampani iCupertino, nokuthi ingxenye enkulu yamacala ayenqatshwa ezinkantolo ezahlukene. Le nkampani igcizelela ukuthi izoqhubeka nokuvikela izinto ezintsha zayo futhi igxile ekuthuthukiseni imikhiqizo nezinsizakalo ezisezingeni eliphezulu zabasebenzisi bayo.
Ngaphezu kokuzivikela kwezomthetho, i-Apple igxile emsebenzini wamaqembu ayo ocwaningo nokuthuthukiswa ukuze iqhubeke nokwandisa izici zezempilo, impilo enhle, kanye nokuphepha ku-Apple Watch kanye nakuzo zonke ezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza zedivayisi yayo. Le nkampani iphinda izibophezele ekugcinweni kobumfihlo kanye nokuphathwa kolwazi olubucayi ngendlela efanele njengezimpawu ezibalulekile kanye nomsebenzi womzimba.
KuMasimo, ukuvalwa kwezinqubo e-ITC akusho ukuphela kwengxabano. Inkampani ingase dlulisela icala eNkantolo Yokudlulisa Amacala Kahulumeni Yesifunda Isekelwe eWashington, ngakho-ke kusenendawo yokuthi icala liphinde liqhubekele phambili ohlelweni lwezobulungiswa lwase-US.
Okwamanje, uMasimo unezinye izinkantolo ezisalindile ngokumelene ne-Apple, okuphakamisa ukuthi impi yezomthetho izoqhubeka. Impikiswano yokungenisa impahla iyingxenye eyodwa nje yengxabano ebanzi ezungeze ukusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe be-pulse oximetry kumadivayisi athengiswa kakhulu njenge-Apple Watch.
Izidingo ezifanayo kanye nobukhulu bezomnotho bengxabano
Ukungqubuzana phakathi kuka-Apple noMasimo akugcini nje ngokuba se-ITC. Impi ebalulekile iyaqhubeka ezinkantolo zikahulumeni wase-US mayelana ukwephulwa kwelungelo lobunikazi kanye nokwebiwa kwezimfihlo zokuhweba okuhlobene nobuchwepheshe obufanayo bokulinganisa umoya-mpilo egazini.
Kwelinye lala macala, ijaji eCalifornia linikeze uMasimo i- Isinxephezelo samaRandi ayizigidi ezintathu esivivinyweni selungelo lobunikazi esabanjwa ngoNovemba. Lesi sibalo, esisalinde ukudluliswa kwecala, sibonisa inani lezomnotho izinkampani zombili ezilibeka ezintweni ezintsha ezisengozini kanye nemakethe yamadivayisi ezempilo axhunyiwe.
I-Apple isivele iveze inhloso yayo yokudlulisa icala ngesinqumo, ngakho-ke inani lokugcina kanye nomphumela wenqubo akukacaci. Ngakho-ke, impikiswano isenamandla kokubili ngokwezimali nangokomthetho, futhi ingaholela ezinqumweni ezengeziwe ezithinta ngqo ibhizinisi lezinto ezigqokwayo.
UMasimo uphinde wafaka icala elihlukile ngokumelene nenkampani uqobo lwayo. Ihhovisi Lezentela Nezokuvikela Imingcele evela e-US, ibuza ukuvunyelwa kwe-Apple Watch eklanywe kabusha. Ngalesi sinyathelo, inkampani ihlose ukuthi izinguquko ze-Apple zibuyekezwe ukuze kutholakale ukuthi zanele yini ukuwela ngaphandle komkhawulo womyalelo wokuqala wokukhishwa okhishwe yi-ITC.
Lonke loluhlaka lwezomthetho luqokomisa ukuthi ukungqubuzana akuyona ingxoxo elula yobuchwepheshe, kodwa kunalokho kusendaweni yokuhlangana phakathi Impahla yobuhlakani, ukuncintisana emakethe yezinto ezigqokwayo kanye nokubaluleka okukhulayo kwezici zezempilo kumadivayisi abathengi. Ku-Apple, i-Apple Watch iyisici esibalulekile se-ecosystem yayo kanye nesango lezinsizakalo zezempilo nokuqina komzimba; ku-Masimo, amalungelo obunikazi aphikiswana ngawo amelela impahla eyinhloko yebhizinisi layo lobuchwepheshe bezokwelapha.
Kusho ukuthini ukuvinjelwa kwe-Apple Watch kubasebenzisi eSpain naseYurophu?
Nakuba ukugxila kwaleli cala kuse-United States, udaba lulandelwa eduze e-European Union, ikakhulukazi, eSpain. Okwamanje, Akukho ukuvinjelwa okufanayo ezingeni lomphakathiIKhomishini yaseYurophu noma ezinye izinhlangano azikaze zibeke imingcele ekuthengisweni kwe-Apple Watch ngezizathu ezihlobene nalawa malungelo obunikazi.
Kubathengi baseYurophu, lokhu kusho ukuthi amamodeli athengiswa ngeziteshi ezisemthethweni kanye nabasabalalisi abagunyaziwe Zigcina umsebenzi we-oxygen osebenzayo egazini. Ngokuvamile. Ulwazi lomsebenzisi eSpain nakwamanye amazwe ase-EU okwamanje luhambisana nomklamo wokuqala we-Apple ngaphandle kwemingcele ethile esetshenziswe emakethe yase-US.
Kodwa-ke, ukungqubuzana kusebenza njengesixwayiso. Kungenzeka ukuthi, uma bebhekene namacala angaka, abakhiqizi bangakhetha ukuze bahlukanise ngokucacile izinhlobo zemikhiqizo yabo ngokwezimakethe, ukulungisa imisebenzi yezempilo noma izici ezithuthukisiwe ukuze zivumelane nezidingo zomthetho kanye nezingozi zamacala endaweni ngayinye.
Ngokombono womthetho waseYurophu, leli cala ligcizelela nokubaluleka kokuthola ibhalansi phakathi ukuvikelwa kwempahla yezimboni kanye nokukhuthazwa kokusungula izinto ezintsha kwezobuchwepheshe bezokunakekelwa kwempilo. Nakuba i-EU ingazange ingenelele ngqo kule mpikiswano, ukungqubuzana okukhulu kangaka phakathi kwenkampani enkulu yezobuchwepheshe babathengi kanye nenkampani ekhethekile kumadivayisi ezokwelapha akunakwa ngabalawuli kanye nabameli.
Ngokwezinto ezingokoqobo, labo abathenga i-Apple Watch eSpain namuhla akufanele baqaphele noma yiziphi izinguquko ezisheshayo ezivela kulokhu. ukuvinjelwa kokungenisa impahla kukhawulelwe emakethe yase-USKodwa-ke, ukuvela kwaleli cala kungathonya indlela i-Apple eklama ngayo izizukulwane ezilandelayo zewashi, elibonisa ukuthi liza kuqala, nokuthi lizivumelanisa kangakanani nezixazululo zalo zezempilo ukuze zihambisane nemithethonqubo eyahlukahlukene yamazwe ngamazwe.
Isimo esihlanganisiwe sishiya ukuvinjelwa kokungenisa okulinganiselwe kwe-Apple Watch Inguqulo yokuqala yomsebenzi wayo we-oxygen egazini isese-United States, kuyilapho amamodeli anesici esiklanywe kabusha evunyelwe ukungena kuleli zwe kulandela izinqumo zakamuva ze-ITC kanye neCustoms. Okwamanje, impi yezomthetho phakathi kwe-Apple neMasimo iyaqhubeka kwezinye izinkantolo, okuphakamisa ukuthi lokhu kungqubuzana phakathi kwe-Big Tech kanye nemboni yezokwelapha kuzoqhubeka nokwakha impikiswano yokuthi izici zezempilo zihlanganiswa kanjani kumadivayisi axhunyiwe, ngaphakathi nangaphandle kweYurophu.
