    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. International Trade Commission stopped looking into a fight between companies that make cleaning gadgets after they decided to be friends and settle their problem. This means they won't argue anymore, saving everyone's time and energy.

The complaint alleges that certain companies violated section 337 of the Tariff Act by importing and selling cellular signal boosters and related equipment in the U.S. that infringe on multiple patents held by Wilson Electronics.
