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.
