A U.S. International Trade Commission judge has sided with DISH Network DISH, -3.00% in a case alleging that Peloton PTON, -0.93%, iFit, and Lululemon’s Mirror infringed on patents.

DISH Network filed the complaint against the companies in April 2021 for infringing on streaming technology through workout equipment from August 2016 to March 2021.

“Customers of these products could just as easily exercise in front of their existing television — in particular, a television that is lawfully using the technology of the Asserted Patents,” DISH Network stated.

DISH Network previously requested that the ITC ban the fitness equipment from entering the U.S.

The fitness companies have also been sued by each other.

Peloton — whose chairman stepped down on Monday — and iFit previously sued each other for patent infringement. iFit requested that the U.S. International Trade Commission block the import of Peloton’s Bike+ devices.

In May, the companies settled all ongoing litigation. iFit removed some on-demand leaderboard technology from its offerings, and Peloton agreed to license iFit patents dealing with remote control technology.
