Datel didn’t respond to a request for comment on Tuesday after the U.S. International Trade Commission said it will investigate the latest patent infringement claims that Microsoft made against the U.K. accessory maker. Microsoft claimed in a Dec. 23 complaint that Datel violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 while importing into the U.S. and selling videogame controllers, components and other related items that infringed on a Microsoft patent. Microsoft requested that the ITC issue an exclusion order, as well as a cease and desist order. The ITC’s chief administrative law judge will assign the case to one of its six ALJs for an evidentiary hearing, it said. The ALJ will make an initial determination on whether there was a violation of Section 337 by Datel, and that determination will be subject to review by the Commission, the ITC said. Microsoft filed a similar patent infringement complaint against Datel with the U.S. ITC in April. Only a few days earlier, U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Laporte ruled that Datel was free to pursue most of the antitrust claims that it had made against Microsoft in a suit filed by the accessory maker after Microsoft informed Xbox 360 users that third-party memory cards would no longer be usable on the console after a software update.
