They claim that certain motorized self-balancing vehicles imported into the U.S. are infringing on their patents.

The investigation could lead to an exclusion order, which would prevent the import of these products, and other legal actions if patent infringements are confirmed.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has received a request from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to allow the use of the pesticide clothianidin on up to 75,000 acres of young citrus trees to fight Huanglongbing (HLB) disease. This exemption request, repeated for several years, argues that without clothianidin, farmers might face significant financial losses as there are limited alternative solutions available. The EPA is asking for public comments before deciding whether to approve this exemption. Comments must be submitted by January 29, 2025.

The U.S. International Trade Commission is reviewing a decision related to an investigation into certain optical network equipment imported from China. The initial ruling found no violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act, indicating that the involved patents weren't infringed upon and that the complainant, Optimum Communications, is no longer valid due to patent ownership changes. Despite recommendations for a general exclusion order if a violation was found, the evidence did not support such actions. After reviewing the case, the Commission has decided to examine the initial determination completely.

The Department of Energy (DOE) has received a petition from Hussmann Corporation requesting an exemption from their current testing procedures for certain CO2 direct expansion unit cooler models used in walk-in coolers and freezers. The existing test conditions are not suitable for these models because CO2 behaves differently from other refrigerants. DOE has issued an interim waiver allowing Hussmann to use an alternate test procedure while they gather public comments and make a final decision. This interim waiver will help ensure the accurate testing and representation of the energy efficiency of Hussmann's products.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing an amendment to a previous exclusion of certain wastes from being classified as hazardous. This proposal involves American Chrome and Chemical's facility in Corpus Christi, Texas, where they wish to dispose of chromic oxide waste in an on-site surface impoundment instead of only in a landfill. The EPA's decision is based on analyzing the waste's characteristics and determining it doesn't pose a significant risk to health or the environment. Public comments on this proposal are welcomed until March 25, 2021.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced an extension for public comments on its proposed intellectual property policy, giving interested parties until February 21, 2025, to respond. These proposals aim to establish flexible intellectual property options for NSF-backed public-private partnerships, ensuring a balanced distribution of intellectual property rights between academic and industrial collaborators. The NSF's proposed options, including licenses for research and commercial use, are designed to foster innovation while adhering to existing federal laws like the Bayh-Dole Act. Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback on issues such as the potential impacts on innovation, balance and flexibility in rights distribution, and barriers to adoption.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing changes to Maryland's air quality regulations concerning nitrogen oxides (NOX), which contribute to ozone pollution. The state of Maryland wants to reallocate a set limit of NOX emissions for non-electric units that don't participate in a trading program because one of their large sources, the Luke Paper Mill, has shut down. This proposal allows new or modified units to use the emissions capacity initially allotted to the Luke Paper Mill. The EPA believes these changes meet legal requirements and won't negatively impact air quality standards or increase NOX emissions. The public can comment on the proposal until January 27, 2025.
