Arris filed an International Trade Commission complaint May 9 under Section 337 of the Tariff Act alleging imported Sony TVs, videogame consoles, mobile phones, tablets and internet-connected DVD and Blu-ray players violate six Arris U.S. patents, said a notice published in Tuesday’s Federal Register. In the proceeding, Arris seeks an ITC investigation and a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders against the Sony imports, the notice said. The complaint names Sony and six subsidiaries as respondents in the proceeding (337-TA-1060). Sony representatives didn’t comment Tuesday.
