The International Trade Commission began two Section 337 investigations on imported portable battery jump starters, the commission said in two separate Federal Register notices (ITC Inv. Nos. 337-TA-1359, -1360). The investigations follow a Feb. 13 complaint by the NOCO Company, an Ohio-based consumer electronics company (See 2302170011). The amended complaint alleged that 19 different respondents had infringed on five of NOCO's patents and the "NOCO X" design trade dress, and had engaged in false advertising and other unfair competition. In both investigations, NOCO asked the ITC for a permanent limited exclusion order and permanent cease and desist orders.
