The International Trade Commission began a Section 337 investigation on allegations that 10 Chinese companies are importing and selling absorption refrigeration systems that infringe patents held by ARPC, maker of the Fridge Defend product, the ITC said in a June 18 notice (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1453).

The International Trade Commission began two Section 337 investigations on allegations that 20 companies, primarily from China, are importing and selling ink cartridges and components that infringe patents held by Epson, the ITC said in a pair of June 17 notices (ITC Inv. Nos. 337-TA-1451, -1452). Epson filed the complaint in May and is seeking a general exclusion order and cease and desist orders against the respondents to bar from entry "unauthorized, aftermarket ink cartridges, and components thereof" that violate the complainants' patents (see 2505160012). The dual investigations cover the same respondents but each covers five different patents.

If it continues this finding in the final results of this review, Tainai's AD cash deposit rate won't change as a result of this review, and any entries under its case number during the period June 1, 2023, through May 31, 2024, will be liquidated at the all-others rate.

Commerce will now begin conducting annual administrative reviews, if requested, to determine final assessments of AD/CVD on importers and make changes to cash deposit rates.
