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.

The International Trade Commission seeks comments by Feb. 13 on a Section 337 complaint recently filed by Pax Labs that seeks a ban on imports of hemp and cannabis oil vaporizing devices from ALD and Stiiizy that allegedly infringe on its patents, the ITC said in a notice released Feb. 2. 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.
