ITC Seeks Comments on Possible Exclusion Order for MediaTek, Vizio, Sigma Graphics Systems

The International Trade Commission is seeking comment by May 18 on a potential exclusion order banning imports of Vizio, MediaTek and Sigma Designs graphics systems that infringe AMD patents, the agency said in Tuesday's Federal Register. An ITC administrative law judge recommended the exclusion order in the context of a Tariff Act Section 337 investigation that began March 27, based on allegations the three companies are importing infringing sets. The ITC is also considering a cease and desist order against Vizio and SDI. MediaTek, Sigma and Vizio didn't comment Wednesday.
