Certain Anode Materials for Use in Battery Cells and Batteries
U.S. International Trade Commission
Holding
Sila Nanotechnologies, Inc. and Georgia Tech Research Corporation filed a Section 337 complaint targeting imported anode materials for use in battery cells and batteries; the Federal Register notice provided does not identify the asserted patents. Complainants seek a limited exclusion order, cease-and-desist orders, and bond during the Presidential review period.
Why It Matters
The complaint concerns battery anode materials, a strategically important technology area for lithium-ion battery cells, electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and energy storage. The Commission is soliciting public-interest comments on how exclusionary relief could affect U.S. health and welfare, competitive conditions, domestic production of like or directly competitive articles, replacement capacity, and U.S. consumers.
