Certain Light-Based Physiological Measurement Devices and Components Thereof; Notice of a Commission Determination Not To Review a Combined Recommended Determination on Modification and Enforcement Initial Determination; Termination of Proceeding
Brief takeaway: The notice indicates that certain redesigned light-based physiological measurement devices were found not to infringe the asserted patents and, per this proceeding, are not covered by the existing limited exclusion order.
What changed: According to the notice, the Commission decided not to review a combined recommended determination on modification and an enforcement initial determination by the administrative law judge. The notice states the ALJ found the accused redesigned products do not infringe the asserted patents and therefore should not be excluded under the terms of the limited exclusion order, and the proceeding was terminated.
Who's affected: The notice names light-based physiological measurement devices and components thereof. It does not specify particular HTS chapters, codes, or countries of origin, and it centers on specific redesigned products at issue in this enforcement proceeding.
What to review:
- Review whether your product line involves light-based physiological measurement devices or components potentially touched by a limited exclusion order.
- Confirm with your broker or trade counsel whether the specific redesigned products described match your goods.
- Check the underlying investigation record and exclusion order terms to understand what remains covered.
- Confirm current CBP enforcement instructions before relying on this outcome for any entry.
