The investigation follows a Feb. 7 complaint (amended Feb. 25) by Zebra Technologies and Symbol Technologies (see 2202140017), alleging that Honeywell and its subsidiary Hand Held Products are importing barcode scanners, computers with barcode scanning capabilities, and scan engines that infringe on one of Zebra's and two of Symbol's patents. The complainants are seeking a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders.
