The U.S. International Trade Commission issued a notice seeking public and government agency comments on potential public interest concerns regarding certain passive optical network equipment. This comes after an administrative law judge's determination that a violation of Section 337 may have occurred, involving patents on this equipment. The Commission wants feedback on how any remedial orders, if violations are confirmed, could impact public health, the economy, and consumers in the United States. Comments are due by February 11, 2025, and must address specific issues such as the usage of the articles and possible replacements among others.
