The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation into the United States and sale of certain urine splash guards and components thereof that infringe patents asserted by the complainant. The complainant requests that the USITC issue a general exclusion order, or in the alternative a limited exclusion order, and cease and desist orders.

The ALJ will make an initial determination as to whether there is a violation of section 337; that initial determination is subject to review by the Commission. Read More→
