The International Trade Commission is adding DET Logistics (USA) Corporation as a respondent to its ongoing Section 337 investigation on power converter modules (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1370), it said in a Feb. 1 notice. DET joins Delta, Quanta and Foxconn as respondents to the investigation, which was launched in August based on a complaint from Vicor (see 2308160011). Vicor said the companies are importing power converter modules and computing systems that infringe on three of Vicor's patents related to power system technologies used in high density and high efficiency applications like "high-end" computing. The ITC is considering a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders in the case.

Pax said in its Jan. 30 complaint that Stiiizy and ALD, as well as their subsidiaries, are copying Pax’s patented technologies for managing condensation and leakage from hemp and cannabis oil vaporizers. Pax seeks a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders against Stiiizy and ALD.
