International Trade Commission Launches Review of Magnesia Carbon Bricks Import Orders Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) has officially begun a new review process. This involves looking at the orders on certain kinds of bricks called magnesia carbon bricks. These bricks come from two countries: China and Mexico. The ITC’s action aims to find out if removing certain orders would cause problems for U.S. industries. One of the orders is called a “countervailing duty order.” This type of order helps U.S. businesses if another country unfairly supports its products. There is also a review for an “antidumping duty order.” This helps if a foreign company sells its products in the U.S. at very low prices to gain a market edge. The review started on July 1, 2026. People or groups interested in this review need to give their information before July 31, 2026. The information they send will help the ITC decide if they should do a full review or a faster, shorter review. Magnesia carbon bricks are important because they are used in industries like steelmaking. The review is taking a close look at whether keeping these duties is essential for U.S. companies that make similar bricks. Back in 2010, the U.S. Department of Commerce put these orders into effect. They were first reviewed and continued in 2016, and again in 2021. Now the ITC is checking again to see if the duties should stay in place. This new review process will look into many factors. These include how the bricks from China and Mexico might affect the prices and sales of American-made bricks. People like U.S. producers, importers, and even companies in China and Mexico can talk to the ITC. They can let the ITC know what they think might happen if these orders are removed. The ITC will gather and check all this information. They will look at things like how much people are willing to buy these bricks and how many are being imported from China and Mexico. They will also check if American companies can make enough to meet demand. The investigation needs cooperation from several parties. This includes the producers of the bricks in the U.S., those who import them, and also foreign producers. Each group needs to provide detailed data, such as their production levels and how much they sell. They also need to explain how the duties affect them. The ITC wants to ensure their decisions protect U.S. industries. They want to keep jobs and businesses thriving in America. The outcome of this review will be important for U.S. industries and international trade relations with China and Mexico.

U.S. International Trade Commission Starts Investigation on Protein Study Tools Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes Redwood City, CA and Boston, MA – The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has begun a new investigation. This is about some important items used to study proteins. Studying proteins helps scientists understand how living things work. A complaint was made to the ITC by two places: Seer, Inc., a company in Redwood City, California, and The Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. They said another company wrongly brought these items into the United States. The investigation began after Seer, Inc. and the hospital said some of their important inventions, covered by specific patents, were used by another company without permission. Patents are like a special ticket that says only the person with the ticket can use the invention. The patents are U.S. Patent No. 11,435,360, U.S. Patent No. 11,630,112, U.S. Patent No. 12,050,222, U.S. Patent No. 12,228,566, and U.S. Patent No. 12,590,948. The ITC will check if these items were bought from another place and brought here to be sold, which might break some rules. They will also see if there is a problem because of how these items are used. The items under investigation include special workstations, software, assay kits, and special tools used in labs. Proteomics study tools, which focus on proteins, involve things like nanoparticles and reagents. The company that might have broken the rules is Nanomics Biotechnology Co., Ltd. This company is located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. The ITC’s administrative law judge will listen to everyone’s side of the story. They will also check if looking into this matter is important and in the public’s interest. Nanomics Biotechnology Co. has a limited time, just 20 days, to respond to this investigation notice. This short time is to ensure a quick response to the problem. If Nanomics does not respond in time, the ITC can make decisions without hearing from the company. This might lead to a ban on bringing these items into the U.S. or stopping their sale. This investigation shows how protecting inventions is important. How this case ends will matter for companies and researchers studying proteins. Issued on 2026-06-29 by the International Trade Commission, and officially noted by Secretary Lisa Barton.

U.S. International Trade Commission Expedites Review on Polyvinyl Alcohol from China and Japan Estimated reading time: 2–5 minutes The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has announced the scheduling of expedited five-year reviews. These reviews are being conducted under the authority of the Tariff Act of 1930. The focus is to determine if lifting antidumping duty orders on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) from China and Japan could cause harm to the U.S. industry. The reviews have been set for an expedited schedule. This means the process will be faster than usual due to specific findings. On June 5, 2026, the Commission found that responses from domestic parties were adequate. However, responses from foreign parties were not. Antidumping duties are taxes on imports. They are used to prevent countries from selling goods at unfair prices. The USITC wants to see if removing these duties on PVA from China and Japan would hurt the U.S. PVA market. A staff report with detailed information has been created. This document is available to certain parties with a special permission list starting August 6, 2026. Later, a version for the public will be released. The USITC provides clear guidelines for written comments from involved parties. Comments must be submitted by 5:15 p.m. on August 13, 2026. Comments cannot have new facts and must follow exact rules for presenting data. The USITC has determined these reviews to be very complicated. Due to this complexity, the review time may extend by up to 90 extra days as allowed by law. This process is in line with Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930. The official notice was published on July 2, 2026. Lisa Barton, Secretary to the Commission, has issued this notice. Inquiries concerning these reviews can be directed to Rachel Devenney at the USITC. The public can view information about the proceedings on the Commission’s website.

US International Trade Commission Finds Patent Violation by Voltage in Photovoltaic Cable Assemblies Case Estimated reading time: 5–7 minutes The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has issued a final decision in the case against Voltage, LLC and Ningbo Voltage Smart Production Co. These companies were found to have violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. This decision comes as a result of their actions involving certain photovoltaic trunk bus cable assemblies and components. The case was originally brought forward by Shoals Technologies Group, LLC. They claimed that Voltage infringed on U.S. Patent No. 12,015,375 and U.S. Patent No. 12,015,376. The ITC agreed with Shoals Technologies, finding that Voltage’s products unlawfully infringed specific claims of these patents. The ITC has ordered a limited exclusion order, or LEO, against Voltage’s infringing products. This means Voltage is prohibited from importing and selling these products in the United States. Alongside the LEO, the ITC has set a one hundred percent bond on importations of these products during the period of Presidential review. The investigation into this case began on February 18, 2025. Shoals alleged Voltage’s products infringed multiple claims of the two patents in question. During the process, Voltage attempted to argue that the patents were not enforceable. However, the ITC affirmed that Voltage did not prove these arguments. The Commission’s Final Initial Determination (FID) supported Shoals’ stance that they satisfied the requirements to protect the patents. In particular, they met the criteria related to the technology covered by the patents and demonstrated economic significance within the U.S. While Voltage sought to challenge these findings and proposed alternate designs they claimed were non-infringing, the ITC did not find these arguments convincing. The Commission decided that some of Voltage’s alternate designs still infringed upon Shoals’ patents. Multiple public interest statements were submitted during the case. These came from U.S. Senators, a Representative, and the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce. Despite these opinions, the Commission decided the public interest did not prevent issuing the exclusion order. Voltage filed a motion requesting a review based on a related court case opinion. However, the ITC did not modify their decision based on this motion. The ITC’s decision concludes this investigation, taking a significant step to protect patent holders’ rights in the U.S. Lisa Barton, Secretary to the Commission, issued the order on June 25, 2026, reaffirming the ITC’s commitment to upholding fair trade regulations.

The U.S. International Trade Commission to Review Decision on Motorized Self-Balancing Vehicles Estimated reading time: 4–6 minutes The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) announced it will review a decision regarding motorized self-balancing vehicles. This decision was made by an administrative law judge who found that certain companies violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The companies involved include Gotrax and Tao Motor from China. The case started after a complaint was filed by Razor USA LLC and Shane Chen. They claimed that the companies imported and sold products that infringed on their patents.

They also want input from government agencies and the public. The ITC is focusing on whether the products affected a domestic industry in the U.S. This involves checking economic investments made by Razor USA LLC. The ITC has several questions about the investments and industry activities. They want detailed answers about manufacturing and product development. The law allows the ITC to issue orders to prevent unfair imports. They can issue an exclusion order, stopping products from entering the U.S. They can also issue cease and desist orders, preventing further sales of infringing products. The ITC must also consider the public interest before making a decision. This includes looking at the effect of any orders on public health, competition, and consumer choices. If the ITC makes an order, the U.S. Trade Representative has 60 days to review or change it. During this time, products may enter the U.S. under a bond. The ITC is inviting written submissions about what kind of remedy should be ordered. They need submissions by June 29, 2026, and replies by July 6, 2026. Submissions are limited in page length.

USITC to Review ALJ Decision on Patent Infringement Case Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has announced a significant decision in an ongoing investigation. The investigation, identified as No. 337-TA-1489, concerns certain laptops, routers, gateways, and their components. The Commission has chosen to review part of an initial determination by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). This decision involves amending an existing complaint. The complaint was initially filed by AX Wireless, LLC, a company based in Austin, Texas. The company alleges that several respondents have infringed on specific claims of U.S. Patent No. 10,917,272, known as the ‘272 patent. The respondents include ASUSTeK Computer Inc., ASUS Computer International, Inc., TP-Link Systems Inc., and Ubiquiti Inc. On June 12, 2026, the Commission voted to affirm the ALJ’s decision, with a modification. This modification amends both the complaint and the notice of investigation. The amendment adds allegations of infringement concerning additional claims of the ‘272 patent. These claims are numbered 7, 9, 10, and 20. Previously, on April 23, 2026, AX Wireless had filed a motion to amend the complaint to include these dependent claims. The respondents and the Office of Unfair Import Investigations opposed this motion, suggesting more time is needed for the new claims. The ALJ granted the motion on May 19, 2026. The ALJ found good cause for including all relevant claims in one investigation. The investigation is still early, as the evidentiary hearing is ten months away. Thus, there is no prejudice to the respondents. The USITC has amended the documents to reflect these changes. This decision is made under authority provided by section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure. For further details, Houda Morad, Esq. at the USITC can be contacted. Non-confidential documents related to this investigation are available online. The USITC’s TDD terminal can provide more information for hearing-impaired individuals. Legal Disclaimer This article includes content collected from the Federal Register (federalregister.gov).

US International Trade Commission Schedules Investigation on Van-Type Trailers Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has announced the final phase schedule for its investigation into van-type trailers and their subassemblies from Canada, China, and Mexico. The investigation, numbered 701-TA-781-782 and 731-TA-1767-1769, seeks to determine if US industries are harmed by these imports. It is also to check if these imports are sold cheaper than they should be. The investigation will review if trailers from Canada, China, and Mexico are supported by subsidies, making them cheaper in the US market. The US Department of Commerce found that China and Mexico may be giving subsidies to their exporters. But, the investigation for Canada was stopped. For the case, the USITC defines van-type trailers as those with a large closed space to carry goods. They usually have a front section, side walls, a floor, a roof, and connection systems for towing. Subassemblies like frames, walls, doors, and parts for towing and braking are all part of the investigation. Even if any of these parts are missing, the trailer is still part of this case. Some parts, especially from China covered under another investigation, are not part of this one. The USITC investigation started after a petition from the American Trailer Manufacturers Coalition in November 2025. Members include Great Dane LLC, Stoughton Trailers LLC, and Wabash National Corporation. Those wanting more details, or to participate in the case, can check the USITC’s rules. Key dates include a hearing on August 20, 2026, and deadlines for legal submissions in August 2026. Further information for the public is available electronically through the USITC’s systems and their website.
