On September 24, 2025, Bose Corporation, a well - known US company, submitted an application to the US International Trade Commission in accordance with Section 337 of the US Tariff Act of 1930. The company claimed that certain open - ear earbud products, which are exported to, imported into, and subsequently sold within the United States, are in violation of the provisions outlined in Section 337 of US law. In light of these alleged violations, Bose Corporation has formally requested the US International Trade Commission to issue two types of orders. The first is a limited exclusion order, which, if granted, would restrict the entry of the infringing products into the US market. The second is a cease - and - desist order, which aims to prohibit the respondents from engaging in any further sales or distribution activities related to the disputed products within the United States. A number of enterprises and individuals hailing from Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Fujian provinces, as well as the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in China, have been identified and named as respondents in this case.
