The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) announced March 31 that it will launch an investigation into a patent infringement claim by Framingham-based audio technology company Bose Corp. Bose alleged in a Feb. 26 complaint that California-based Monster Inc.'s iSport Intensity in-ear headphones violate a patent for a device that keeps earpieces inside a user's ear without using ear hooks or “twist lock” tips, which can be uncomfortable or fit poorly. The device can be found in Bose's Bluetooth headsets, sport headphones and noise-cancelling headphones, according to Bose.
