ITC Wades Into Robotic Vacuum Row

2017/05/26

The US International Trade Commission (ITC) will investigate nine companies, including vacuum makers Hoover and Black and Decker, following a complaint by technology company iRobot Corporation. In an announcement on its website the ITC said it had voted to institute a section 337 investigation into “robotic vacuum cleaning devices”. If the ITC finds in favour of iRobot then the companies could be hit with an exclusion order preventing importation of the allegedly infringing products, as well as a cease-and-desist order to stop the sale and marketing of the products in the US.
