The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) is starting a proceeding to possibly cancel and temporarily stop enforcing a limited exclusion order (LEO) related to certain plastic food trays. This decision follows a request by Ningbo Linhua Plastic after the United States Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO) Patent Trial and Appeal Board ruled certain patent claims unpatentable. The Commission will suspend the LEO pending potential changes from ongoing legal processes. The parties involved must update the Commission on developments with the appeals or at the USPTO.
Simple Explanation
The government is taking another look at a decision to stop some plastic food trays from coming into the country because parts of the decision may have been wrong. They are putting it on hold for now to see what happens with other legal stuff going on.
