The U.S. International Trade Commission has received a complaint from SkyBell Technologies, SB IP Holdings, and Eyetalk365, alleging that various companies violated trade rules by selling certain IP camera systems and video doorbells that infringe on several U.S. patents. They claim this is happening both through imports into the U.S. and sales inside the country. The complaint asks for an investigation and aims for an exclusion order and cease and desist orders against the companies involved. An investigation has been ordered to determine if these allegations are true, with responses from the accused companies needed within 20 days of being served the complaint.
Simple Explanation
The International Trade Commission is looking into a complaint by some companies that others are selling special cameras and doorbells in the U.S. that might be copying their ideas. The commission wants to see if these claims are true and might stop the bad companies from selling those products.
