Dish Seeks Section 337 Import Ban on Streaming Exercise Equipment

Comments are due April 27 in docket 337-3544 at the International Trade Commission on the public interest ramifications of the Tariff Act Section 337 import ban that Dish seeks in an April 13 complaint (login required) on exercise equipment with capabilities that allegedly infringe five of its adaptive bit-rate streaming patents, says Monday's Federal Register. Named as proposed respondents in the investigation Dish seeks are Icon, its subsidiaries Free Motion and NordicTrack, plus lululemon and Peloton. None of the companies responded to questions Friday.
