The U.S. International Trade Commission has decided not to review an initial decision to terminate an investigation into certain surface cleaning devices after a settlement was reached between the parties involved, which include SharkNinja Operating LLC and Dyson, Inc. This decision is based on the fact that the settlement aligns with public interest by saving resources and not adversely affecting the public. The investigation, initially launched in June 2024 over patent infringement allegations, is thus terminated following this settlement agreement, with no requests for review submitted. This resolution relies on the authority given under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure.

The U.S. International Trade Commission decided not to review a decision made by an administrative law judge, which allowed Maxell, Ltd. to change their complaint in an investigation to include additional patent infringement claims against Samsung Electronics. Maxell argued that a previous oversight meant these claims were not initially included, and the judge agreed, noting that Samsung would not be significantly harmed because they were already aware of the claims. Samsung opposed the change, saying Maxell did not follow the correct procedure initially. No petitions to review the judge's decision were filed, and the Commission voted on March 10, 2025, to accept it without further review.

This means the investigation is now closed, and there was no wrongdoing found by the companies involved. The decision was finalized on January 16, 2025.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued an order to revoke Maria Dewitt's registration to handle controlled substances because she lacks the necessary authorization in Texas. Dewitt did not have a required prescriptive authority delegation agreement with a physician, which is essential for an advanced practice registered nurse in Texas to manage controlled substances. The administrative law judge upheld this decision, noting that without state authorization, Dewitt could not maintain her DEA registration. Consequently, her registration was revoked, and any further applications for registration in Texas were denied.
