Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission got a complaint from InterDigital about some video-capable devices sold by Amazon that might break trade rules. They’re asking the public and other interested folks to share their thoughts on how this could affect everyone before making any decisions. This could lead to Amazon having to stop selling certain products or pay bonds during a 60-day review, so keep an eye out!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Possible ban on Amazon devices
You could lose access to some video-capable electronic devices sold by Amazon if the U.S. International Trade Commission issues a limited exclusion order or cease-and-desist order. Any such orders could be enforced during a 60-day Presidential review period under 19 U.S.C. 1337(j).
Possible bond requirement during review
If the complaint proceeds, the Commission may require respondents to post a bond for alleged infringing articles during the 60-day Presidential review period under 19 U.S.C. 1337(j). This could impose a cash or financial-security requirement on companies selling the affected devices.
