  • 2025-06719 — Certain Components for Injection Molding Machines, and Products Containing the Same; Notice of a Commission Determination To Issue a Limited Exclusion Order; Termination of Investigation
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 16552
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to issue a limited exclusion order (LEO) that stops certain components for injection molding machines from entering the U.S. because they infringe on patents held by Husky Injection Molding Systems. This action was taken against Ningbo AO Sheng Mold Co., Ltd. (doing business as AOSIMI) because the company failed to participate in the investigation, leading to a default judgment. Although the complainants also asked for a cease and desist order (CDO), the Commission chose not to issue one, citing insufficient evidence of AOSIMI having significant business operations in the U.S. However, Chair Karpel disagreed and believed both the LEO and the CDO should be issued. The investigation has been closed, but the order will be reviewed by the President, with a bond requirement set at 100% of the value of imported items during this period.

    Simple Explanation

    The government told a company from China, called AOSIMI, that they can't send some of their machine parts to America because they copied someone else's idea, and now those parts can't come in. The company didn't show up to explain themselves, so they're in trouble and have to wait and see what happens next.

  • 2024-29331 — Certain Electronic Devices, Including Smartphones, Computers, Tablet Computers, and Components Thereof; Notice of a Commission Determination Not To Review an Initial Determination Granting Joint Motion To Terminate the Investigation Based on Arbitration; Termination of Investigation
    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 101050
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) decided not to review an initial determination to end an investigation concerning specific electronic devices like smartphones and computers. This decision followed a joint motion by InterDigital Inc. and the respondents, Lenovo and Motorola, to terminate the investigation based on an existing arbitration agreement. The USITC concluded that ending the investigation would save resources and agreed with the motion as there were no objections. The investigation is now officially concluded as of December 9, 2024.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to stop looking into a dispute about smartphones and computers because the companies involved agreed to solve it through a process called arbitration, which is like having a private judge help them work things out. This means the investigation is closed, and no one is upset about this decision.

  • 2021-02876 — Certain Wireless Communications Equipment and Components Thereof; Institution of Investigation
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 9370
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The U.S. International Trade Commission announced that a complaint was filed by Samsung Electronics against Ericsson for allegedly infringing on several of Samsung's U.S. patents related to wireless communications equipment. The complaint claims that Ericsson has imported and sold products into the United States that infringe on Samsung's patents for 4G and 5G technologies. Samsung has asked the Commission to investigate these claims and consider issuing orders to exclude Ericsson's products from the U.S. market and to stop further sales. The investigation will determine whether these violations have occurred and if an industry related to these technologies exists or is being established in the U.S.

    Simple Explanation

    Samsung has told a special group in the U.S. that they believe Ericsson is selling gadgets that use Samsung’s technology without permission. Samsung wants the group to look into it and possibly stop Ericsson from bringing and selling those gadgets in the U.S. if they are found to be using Samsung’s ideas unfairly.
