WASHINGTON – Federal trade officials announced Wednesday they have launched a patent infringement investigation targeting streaming devices and display equipment made by Roku and Hisense brands.
The U.S. International Trade Commission revealed that Las Vegas company InnoTV Labs LLC filed the complaint, claiming that imported products from California-based Roku Inc, Purple Tag Media Technology Shanghai Ltd, and China-based Hisense Visual Technology Co violate its patent rights.
According to the trade commission’s announcement, InnoTV Labs is seeking both a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders to stop the importation of the allegedly infringing streaming players, display devices and related components.
The investigation falls under Section 337, which allows the trade panel to examine whether imported goods violate U.S. intellectual property rights.
