ITC Issues Limited Exclusion Orders on Digital Photo Frames from 4 Companies

The International Trade Commission issued cease and desist orders and limited exclusion orders blocking imports of digital photo frames and image display devices from Nextar, WinAccord, Aiptek, and Pandigital that infringe patents held by Technology Properties Limited. All four companies were found to be in default in the ITC’s Section 337 investigation. The ITC will require a bond of 100 percent of entered value of covered products for temporary importation during the 60-day Presidential review period. As the investigation has been resolved for all of the other original respondents, the ITC terminated the investigation.
