The US International Trade Commission has launched a Section 337 investigation into streaming devices and display products linked to Roku and Hisense over alleged patent violations.
The complaint was filed by InnoTV Labs, which claims that certain imported products — including streaming players, display devices and related components — infringe on its patents. The case also involves entities such as Purple Tag Media Technology Shanghai and other associated companies.
As part of the investigation, InnoTV Labs has requested that the USITC impose a limited exclusion order, which could block the import of the allegedly infringing products into the United States. It has also asked for cease-and-desist orders to halt further sales and distribution.
Section 337 investigations are commonly used to address intellectual property disputes involving imported goods and can lead to significant trade restrictions if violations are confirmed.
The probe adds to ongoing scrutiny of global electronics supply chains, particularly in areas such as streaming hardware and display technology, where patent disputes are frequent.
