ITC Seeks Comments on Recommended Sanctions in Roku Probe

Comments are due July 29 in docket 227-TA-1263 at the International Trade Commission on the public interest ramifications of the relief recommended by Administrative Law Judge MaryJoan McNamara against remote controls from Altice, Charter, Universal Electronics and WideOpenWest for infringing two Roku patents on universal remotes, said a notice for Wednesday’s Federal Register. McNamara’s June 28 initial determination recommending the sanctions in the Tariff Act Section 337 investigation remains temporarily confidential, but Roku’s April 2021 complaint sought limited exclusion and cease and desist orders against the infringing devices.
