ITC Considering LEO, C/D Order Against Pandigital in Digital Photo Frames Patent Case

The International Trade Commission is seeking comments by Dec. 21 on public interest factors affecting its decision on whether it should issue exclusion and/or cease and desist orders against Pandigital in its Section 337 patent investigation of certain digital photo frames and image display devices and components thereof (337-TA-807). The ITC found Pandigital to be in default, and therefore in violation of Section 337 with respect to complainant Technology Properties’ patent claims. The administrative law judge on the case has recommended the ITC issue a limited exclusion order, cease and desist order, and a bond in the amount of 100 percent of covered products. Aiptek and WinAccord were previously found to be in default and in violation as well.
