    The U.S. International Trade Commission has decided to partly review an initial decision that found certain companies violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act by importing and selling infringing shaker screens used for drilling fluids. These products infringe specific patents and trademarks, leading M-I L.L.C. to request a general exclusion order and a 100% bond on these items during a U.S. Presidential review period. The Commission invites interested parties to submit their opinions regarding possible remedies, the public interest, and the amount of bonding required. Submissions are due on specific dates in January 2021.

    The U.S. International Trade Commission announced that several companies have filed a complaint alleging violations of trademark laws concerning imported electrolyte beverages and their packaging that infringe on existing trademarks. The companies are asking for an investigation into these allegations, which may result in orders to stop these products from being imported or sold in the U.S. if violations are found. The investigation will look into whether the companies involved breached section 337 of the Tariff Act by importing these products and whether a U.S. industry is affected or being developed. Respondents have 20 days to respond to these allegations.

    The U.S. International Trade Commission is reviewing a decision related to an investigation into certain optical network equipment imported from China. The initial ruling found no violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act, indicating that the involved patents weren't infringed upon and that the complainant, Optimum Communications, is no longer valid due to patent ownership changes. Despite recommendations for a general exclusion order if a violation was found, the evidence did not support such actions. After reviewing the case, the Commission has decided to examine the initial determination completely.
