Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Request to Block Certain Earpieces
Bose asked the U.S. International Trade Commission to block importation and sale of certain open-ear earpiece devices by seeking a general exclusion order or, alternatively, a limited exclusion order, cease-and-desist orders, and to impose a bond on alleged infringing articles during the 60-day Presidential review period. The Commission is asking the public to comment on whether granting that relief would affect public health and welfare, competitive conditions in the U.S., production of like articles in the U.S., or U.S. consumers.
Domestic Makers Asked About Replacement Capacity
The Commission specifically asks commenters to identify like or directly competitive articles that the complainant, its licensees, or third parties make in the United States and to indicate whether they have the capacity to replace the volume of articles potentially subject to an exclusion or cease-and-desist order within a commercially reasonable time. The Commission is soliciting these comments to evaluate the public interest effects of the requested relief.
