The International Trade Commission is seeking comments by Jan. 18 on public interest factors related to Innovation First’s Section 337 trade secret complaint against CVS Pharmacy’s imports of robotic toy fish. Innovation First is seeking a limited exclusion order and cease and desist order against imports of the product, which was manufactured in China by Zuru.
