The U.S. International Trade Commission investigated a complaint from Heraeus Medical LLC and Heraeus Medical GmbH about misappropriation of trade secrets by companies including Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. The investigation looked into whether these actions violated section 337, which concerns trade practices injuring U.S. industries. Ultimately, the Commission concluded that there was no violation as Heraeus failed to prove the existence of a domestic industry impacted by these actions. Thus, the investigation was terminated without penalties against Zimmer Biomet.

Consequently, the Commission will not produce the previously planned report titled "Distributional Effects of Trade and Trade Policy on U.S. Workers, 2026 Report."

However, after reviewing the case, the Commission determined no violations occurred concerning the claims in question, leading to the termination of the investigation.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) decided to end an investigation about certain motorized self-balancing vehicles because the issue became moot.

The investigation showed some products infringed on patents, but changes in patent claims and other factors led to the decision that the case did not need to continue. The decision to terminate the investigation was officially voted on and recorded on January 22, 2021.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has decided to terminate the investigation into allegations that glass wine bottles imported from Chile were being sold at unfairly low prices in the United States.

Consequently, U.S. Customs will stop suspending shipments of these bottles and will refund any deposits collected from importers due to the investigation.

The U.S. International Trade Commission has decided not to review an initial decision to terminate an investigation into certain surface cleaning devices after a settlement was reached between the parties involved, which include SharkNinja Operating LLC and Dyson, Inc.

The investigation, initially launched in June 2024 over patent infringement allegations, is thus terminated following this settlement agreement, with no requests for review submitted. This resolution relies on the authority given under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure.
