    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.

    The U.S. International Trade Commission found that certain icemaking machines and components from Bluenix Co., Ltd. infringe on specific U.S. patents held by Hoshizaki America, Inc. As a result, the Commission issued orders to stop these products from being imported into the U.S. and imposed a bond of 49% of the product's value during a review period. This decision follows a series of investigations and reviews confirming the patent violation.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. International Trade Commission decided that a company who made ice machines used someone else's ideas without permission, so they can't sell those ice machines in the U.S. anymore, and if they do, they have to pay a big fee while a special review is happening.

The company Petrokimya was singled out with a high dumping margin, while other producers face a different rate. The U.S. International Trade Commission will decide if these sales have harmed the U.S. industry, which could lead to additional duties on DOTP imports.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Commerce found that a product called DOTP from Türkiye is being sold in America for less money than it should be, which can hurt U.S. businesses. They are checking to see if this is unfair and if they should add extra taxes when DOTP is brought into the U.S.

    The U.S. International Trade Commission has decided to partly review an initial decision that found certain companies violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act by importing and selling infringing shaker screens used for drilling fluids. These products infringe specific patents and trademarks, leading M-I L.L.C. to request a general exclusion order and a 100% bond on these items during a U.S. Presidential review period. The Commission invites interested parties to submit their opinions regarding possible remedies, the public interest, and the amount of bonding required. Submissions are due on specific dates in January 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. International Trade Commission is checking if some companies broke rules by bringing in and selling special screens used in drilling that might copy someone else's work. They want people to say what they think about making these companies stop selling them and paying a big penalty.

    The U.S. International Trade Commission has decided not to review an initial ruling that allowed a change in the name of a respondent in an investigation. This investigation concerns the import and sale of certain chemical mechanical planarization slurries allegedly violating patent rights. The change involved updating the legal entity name from Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials, Inc. to Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials CMP, LLC. The Commission believes this update clarifies the investigation without affecting public interest or the involved parties' rights.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to let a company change its official name in an investigation about special liquids used to polish materials, without changing anything else about the case. This is like letting someone change their name on a school form to make sure everyone knows who they are.
