The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) decided not to review an initial determination to end an investigation concerning specific electronic devices like smartphones and computers. This decision followed a joint motion by InterDigital Inc. and the respondents, Lenovo and Motorola, to terminate the investigation based on an existing arbitration agreement. The USITC concluded that ending the investigation would save resources and agreed with the motion as there were no objections. The investigation is now officially concluded as of December 9, 2024.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to stop looking into a dispute about smartphones and computers because the companies involved agreed to solve it through a process called arbitration, which is like having a private judge help them work things out. This means the investigation is closed, and no one is upset about this decision.
