U.S. International Trade Commission Amends Complaint in Screen Protector Case
Estimated reading time: 2–3 minutes
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) made an important decision regarding a case about screen protectors. The ITC decided to change a complaint about some patents related to screen protectors and their systems.
Superior Communications Inc. made the complaint. They are based in Irwindale, California. They said there was a problem with how some companies were using their patents. These patents are special rights given for new inventions.
The case is about different patents, like the ‘818 patent and the ‘823 patent. The ITC said that Superior Communications can now add a new claim about the ‘818 patent in their complaint. This means that they can argue about a different part of the patent.
At the same time, Superior Communications will stop talking about some claims related to the ‘818, ‘823, ‘315, and ‘067 patents. This means they won’t argue about some specific parts of these patents anymore.
The case involves two companies. These companies are Belkin International, Inc. and Belkin Inc. Both companies are from El Segundo, California.
The ITC decided on April 29, 2026, not to review any more information about this change. This means they agree with the change to the complaint.
The ITC is followed specific rules set by the Tariff Act of 1930. They also used their own rules listed in Part 210. These rules help to make sure the process is fair and correct.
This decision was communicated by Lisa Barton, the Secretary to the Commission, on May 1, 2026.
The ITC makes decisions like this to protect inventors and make sure trade is fair. They use their authority to handle disputes involving patents and trade between countries.
