ITC Ends Investigation on Electronics Following Agreement Between Amazon and Nokia
The International Trade Commission has ended a Section 337 investigation on imports of laptop and desktop computers, tablet computers, streaming devices, televisions, cameras and components from Amazon and HP (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1379), it said in a notice to be published April 25. Complainant Nokia initially alleged in 2023 that Amazon and HP were importing various electronics that infringe seven of Nokia's patents covering motion compensated prediction inventions, improvements to video decoding techniques, encoding and decoding, and video compression (see 2311030010).

Earlier, the Commission terminated the investigation with respect to several claims of the alleged patent violations and to HP as a respondent. On April 8, Amazon and Nokia filed a joint motion to terminate the investigation based on "settlement and patent agreements." On April 22, the ITC granted the motion, ending the investigation.
