Comments are due to the International Trade Commission by May 18 in a potential Section 337 investigation on imported photovoltaic connectors. The ITC notice acknowledges receipt of a May 3 complaint by Shoals, a Tennessee-based solar and energy storage company, alleging Hikam, a California-based photovoltaic cable company, and Hewtech, a Chinese electronics firm, along with their affiliated companies, import photovoltaic connectors for solar panels that infringe on two of Shoals' patents. Shoals asked the ITC for a permanent limited exclusion order, directed at products manufactured by or on behalf of Hikam and Hewtech, their subsidiaries, related companies and agents, along with permanent cease and desist orders. The two patents describe double-molded connectors that provide environmental protection and reduce the risk of moisture infiltration to the connectors.
