The U.S. International Trade Commission has found a violation of section 337 concerning the importation and sale of certain power converter modules and computing systems.

This decision followed an investigation initiated due to a complaint from Vicor Corporation, with the Commission determining a breach regarding the '481 and '761 patents, while finding no violation for the '950 patent.

The original complaint, filed by West Pharmaceutical Services, claimed infringement of a U.S. patent by products imported into the U.S. from three companies. After a thorough investigation, the Commission confirmed the infringement of the patent and ruled that no bond was necessary because the public interest would not be harmed by the orders. Commissioner Kearns disagreed with the final decision and provided a separate opinion.

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.
