Hesai, US Agree to File New Motions for Judgment After Chinese Military Company Relisting

Chinese lidar company Hesai Technology and the U.S. agreed to file new motions for summary judgment in the company's lawsuit against its designation as a Chinese military company after the Pentagon relisted the firm (see 2410230018). Filing a joint status report on Nov. 5 at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the parties agreed that their pending cross-motions for judgment are moot and that renewed cross-motions for summary judgment are needed. The parties submitted a proposed schedule that would run from Nov. 8 to mid-February 2025 (Hesai Technology Co. v. Department of Defense, D.D.C. # 24-01381).
