The U.S. International Trade Commission received a complaint from InOvate Acquisition Company, alleging that certain dryer wall exhaust vent assemblies imported into the U.S. infringe on a U.S. patent. The complaint requests an investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and seeks a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order. The investigation will look into whether the accused products, identified as "wall exhaust vents," violate specific claims of the patent and whether a supporting U.S. industry exists. The respondents named in the complaint include an entity based in China, Xiamen Dirongte Trading Co., Ltd.
Simple Explanation
In a complaint, a Florida company says some parts used in dryer vents from China might be unfair copies of their idea and have asked a special group to check it out and stop the sales if true.
