These Are a Few of Our Favorite IoT: NIST Finalizes Internet of Things Cyber Guidance
Client Alert | 1 min read | 07.02.19
NIST has finalized Internet of Things (IoT) risk management guidance, which derived from a draft publication. The guidance informs government agencies how to understand and manage IoT risks throughout device lifecycles. Industry can anticipate government focus on three high-level goals:
- Device security;
- Data security; and
- Individual privacy.
The publication highlights three differences between managing risks for IoT devices and conventional information technology devices:
- IoT devices interact with the physical world differently than conventional devices;
- IoT devices cannot be accessed and monitored the same as conventional devices; and
- The availability and effectiveness of cybersecurity and privacy capabilities are different for IoT devices than conventional devices.
While not mandatory, the guidance provides useful considerations for IoT cybersecurity and privacy risk management.

District Court Grants Preliminary Injunction Against Seller of Gray Market Snack Food Products
On November 12, 2025, Judge King in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington granted in part Haldiram India Ltd.’s (“Plaintiff” or “Haldiram”) motion for a preliminary injunction against Punjab Trading, Inc. (“Defendant” or “Punjab Trading”), a seller alleged to be importing and distributing gray market snack food products not authorized for sale in the United States. The court found that Haldiram was likely to succeed on the merits of its trademark infringement claim because the products at issue, which were intended for sale in India, were materially different from the versions intended for sale in the U.S., and for this reason were not genuine products when sold in the U.S. Although the court narrowed certain overbroad provisions in the requested order, it ultimately enjoined Punjab Trading from importing, selling, or assisting others in selling the non-genuine Haldiram products in the U.S. market.
