The U.S. International Trade Commission has affirmed a violation of Section 337 and issued a General Exclusion Order barring importation of electrolyte-containing beverages and associated labeling and packaging that infringe four U.S. trademark registrations (Reg. Nos. 4,222,726; 4,833,885; 4,717,350; and 4,717,232). The Commission affirmed the ALJ's summary determination of violation with supplemental findings and modified reasoning, and the investigation is now terminated. The GEO applies on a worldwide basis to all importers of infringing goods.
