Public Interest Comments Due on Import Ban Google Seeks for Sonos Gear

Comments are due Aug. 23 at the International Trade Commission on the public interest ramifications of the cease and desist and limited exclusion orders Google seeks, alleging in two Tariff Act Section 337 complaints that Sonos audio players infringe a total of seven patents, said two notices (in dockets 337-3634 and 337-3635) for Monday’s Federal Register. The complaints seek separate Tariff Act Section 337 investigations into Sonos audio players with Sonos Voice Control, plus those that support wired or wireless charging or the “commissioning of devices into a system via short-range transmissions” (see 2208100003).
