The International Trade Commission will issue a limited exclusion order barring entry of certain in vitro fertilization products, components thereof, and products containing the same (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1196) that infringe EMD Serono’s asserted trademarks and that are imported by FastIVF and Hermes Ezcanesi. Respondents were importing gray market products that copied trademarks held by EMD Serono and also falsely advertised the origin of the products, the ITC found in its February determination of injury (see 2202160053). In addition to the limited exclusion order, the ITC will issue a cease and desist order to FastIVF, it said in an April 11 notice.
