    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.

    The U.S. International Trade Commission has announced that it received a complaint filed by Ericsson Inc. and Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson regarding alleged patent infringements related to certain cellular communications systems. The complaint targets several patents and claims that some companies, including Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc., have been importing or selling products that violate these patents. The Commission has agreed to investigate these allegations and will determine if any U.S. industries have been affected. If the allegations are proven true, the Commission may issue orders that limit the importation and sale of the offending products.

    Simple Explanation

    Ericsson is saying some companies are using their cool tech without permission, and they want the people in charge (the government) to look into it and maybe stop those companies from selling those products.

    The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) determined that the US industry is being harmed by imports of prestressed concrete steel wire strand from several countries, which are being sold at less than fair value. These imports, from countries including Argentina, Colombia, and Turkey, are also subsidized by the Turkish government. The USITC's decision follows an investigation that began in April 2020 in response to a petition from US producers. The Commission held hearings and issued its final determinations in January 2021, confirming that these imports are negatively impacting the US market.

    Simple Explanation

    The United States found that some countries are selling certain steel wires to the US for a cheap price that's unfair, which is hurting businesses in America. This decision was made after checking everything carefully to make sure it's true.
