Apple had hoped for a holiday reprieve from the White House in its smartwatch patent dispute. But Santa did not deliver. The administration refused to overturn a sales ban in the US on some of the gadget maker’s watches following an International Trade Commission determination that Apple violated two patents. So what does Apple do now? Go to court.
