Certain Mobile Electronic Devices and Components Thereof; Inv. No. 337-TA-3934 (Violation)
U.S. International Trade Commission
Holding
This supplemental complaint, filed by trinamiX Sensing LLC and trinamiX GmbH, replaces Paragraph 5 of their September 3, 2026 complaint to identify exemplary accused components of Respondent's iPhones and iPads, adds Appendices G-K (prosecution histories of priority documents), and replaces the Appendix List.
Why It Matters
The supplement narrows and clarifies the accused products to face authentication, 3D-sensing and material detection components such as the processor, TrueDepth camera with VCSEL, flood illumination VCSEL and near-infrared camera module. It completes the complaint's prosecution history record for the asserted patents' priority documents. The text provided does not itself describe the relief sought.
