Consequently, the DEA revoked his registrations, preventing him from handling controlled substances and from renewing or applying for new registrations in these states.

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.

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.
