The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) initiated a Section 337 investigation Thursday into Chinese multinational heavy machinery manufacturing company Sany for patent infringement.
The probe is grounded on a complaint filed by Manitowoc Cranes, LLC in the U.S. state of Wisconsin on June 12, 2013, the USITC said in a statement.
Manitowoc Cranes accused Sany and its U.S. entity of infringing its patents related to mobile cranes that use variable position counterweight (VPC) technology to improve operation and use of the cranes.
