US Customs Continues to Rule in favor of Redesigned Products in 337-TA-617 (DTV)

On August 5, 2009, US Customs and Board Protection (CBP) IPR Branch issued a ruling holding that three semiconductor chip samples submitted by Amtran Logistics, Inc., TPV International (USA), Inc., and Envision Peripherals, Inc., are not subject to Exclusion Order 337-TA-617. Therefore, DTVs that contain the above-referenced three semiconductor chips identified as Model BCM35243 (Broadcom), Model MT5382PTR (MediaTek), Model ZR39775HGCF-B (Zoran), and all functional equivalents of the aforementioned models, may be entered for consumption into the United States.

This continues to the trend that CBP allows redesigned products to be imported into the US. See our earlier post regarding Vizio's win before CBP.
