The U.S. International Trade Commission has received a complaint from One World Technologies Inc. and Techtronic Power Tools Technology Ltd., claiming that certain imported batteries and products infringe on their U.S. patents. The complaint involves several Shenzhen-based Chinese companies and requests an investigation and potential restrictions on imports found to be infringing. The investigation will determine if U.S. patent laws were violated and if an industry exists that is impacted by these imports. If violations are confirmed, the Commission may issue orders to stop the import and sale of these products in the U.S.
Simple Explanation
A company is upset because it thinks people are bringing batteries into the country that copy its ideas, and it asked a group that makes rules to check if anything wrong is happening and to stop it if true.
