U.S. Trade Panel Opens Patent Probe Into Hisense

The U.S. International Trade Commission has opened a patent-infringement investigation into Chinese electronics maker Hisense and streaming platform Roku Inc. over certain display devices and media players.

The probe is the latest Section 337 investigation, a key U.S. mechanism for adjudicating intellectual property disputes involving imports.

The case stems from a March 2, 2026, complaint by Las Vegas-based InnoTV Labs LLC. InnoTV alleges the companies violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 by importing and selling products that infringe its patents. It is seeking limited exclusion and cease-and-desist orders.
