WASHINGTON, May 13 (Reuters) - The International Trade Commission affirmed on Thursday a ruling that Emcore violated a patent owned by Avago Technologies.

The trade panel, which often hears patent disputes that involve imported products, upheld a decision by one of its administrative law judges, who had ruled in March that Emcore infringed an Avago patent to make devices it imported.

The commission also said that it would seek comment on barring the infringing devices from import into the United States.

The patent in question is used in optoelectronic devices, which are used for data communications for core routing and enterprise networking, Avago said on its web site.
