    The U.S. International Trade Commission announced it will end an investigation into certain video-capable electronic devices after a settlement between Nokia and Amazon. The investigation initially began in December 2023 due to allegations that these devices were infringing on several Nokia patents. The investigation previously involved HP and Amazon, but HP was already excluded following a separate agreement. On April 8, 2025, Nokia and Amazon submitted a joint motion to terminate the investigation, which was accepted, bringing the case to a close.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to stop checking if some gadgets like computers and TVs were using Nokia's ideas without permission because Nokia and Amazon made a deal to settle the issue. This means they agreed to get along and not fight about it anymore.

  • 2020-28906 — Allowing Earlier Equipment Marketing and Importation Opportunities
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 2337
    Reading Time:about 34 minutes

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is proposing changes to its rules about how radiofrequency (RF) devices are marketed and imported into the United States. The aim is to allow manufacturers to better understand consumer interest and prepare for new product launches by permitting some conditional sales before a device is fully authorized. These updates would help align FCC processes with modern consumer behaviors like pre-ordering and shorten the time it takes to introduce innovative devices to the market. The proposal also emphasizes that devices must still comply with FCC rules before being delivered to consumers to prevent potential harm from unauthorized devices.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC wants to let companies show and import new gadgets a little earlier so they can see if people like them before they're officially approved. They promise these gadgets will still have to follow safety rules before anyone can actually use them.
