The International Trade Commission issued a notice terminating a Section 337 investigation on robotic pool cleaners. The commission said it will not review a pair of Feb. 21 initial determinations by Administrative Law Judge Cameron Elliot, which terminated the Aiper entities respondents based on a consent order and the remaining Wybotics respondents based on partial withdrawal of the complaint. The orders left no remaining respondents and so ended the entire investigation.

Copan originally brought the complaint in September 2021, alleging 26 companies in the U.S., China, Hong Kong and South Korea had violated three of its patents by copying its flocked swabs (see 2109010024).
