SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on August 6, 2014, based on a complaint filed by Choon’s Design, Inc., of Wixom, Michigan (‘‘Choon’s’’). 79 FR 45844–45 SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\26MRN1.SGM 26MRN1 mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 16024 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 58 / Thursday, March 26, 2015 / Notices (August 6, 2014). The complaint alleged violations of section 337 by reason of the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain loom kits for creating linked articles that infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,485,565 (‘‘the ’565 patent’’). The notice of investigation named thirteen respondents, all of which either have been found in default or terminated from this investigation.

On February 13, 2015, the IA submitted a petition for review of the ID in part. The IA argued that the ALJ improperly accepted alleged domestic industry investments in ‘‘paying a patent attorney to prosecute U.S. and international patent applications’’ and ‘‘visiting a Chinese factory for a week to investigate manufacturing the Rainbow Loom® kits.’’ See ID at 40.

The IA asserts that, notwithstanding these points, the Commission should affirm the ALJ’s conclusion that Choon’s has satisfied the domestic industry requirement and that a violation of section 337 has been proven. On February 18, 2015, Choon’s filed a response to the IA’s petition. Choon’s took no position as to whether patent prosecution costs or visiting Chinese manufacturers count as domestic industry investments. Choon’s agreed with the IA that certain domestic expenditures should be included in the domestic investment total and that the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement has been met. The Commission has determined to review only the domestic industry economic prong determination in the ID. Upon review, the Commission affirms a finding that Choon’s has shown a substantial investment in the exploitation of the ’565 patent through engineering, and research and development of articles protected by the ’565 patent, but the Commission modifies certain portions of the ID regarding the expenditures comprising the domestic industry investments. The Commission’s modifications will be specified in a later Commission opinion. In connection with the final disposition of this investigation, the Commission may (1) issue an order that could result in the exclusion of the subject articles from entry into the United States, and/or (2) issue one or more cease and desist orders that could result in one or more respondents being required to cease and desist from engaging in unfair acts in the importation and sale of such articles. Accordingly, the Commission is interested in receiving written submissions that address the form of remedy, if any, that should be ordered. If a party seeks exclusion of an article from entry into the United States for purposes other than entry for consumption, the party should so indicate and provide information establishing that activities involving other types of entry either are adversely affecting it or likely to do so. For background, see Certain Devices for Connecting Computers via Telephone Lines, Inv. No. 337–TA–360, USITC Pub. No. 2843 (December 1994) (Commission Opinion). If the Commission contemplates some form of remedy, it must consider the effects of that remedy upon the public interest. The factors the Commission will consider include the effect that an exclusion order and/or cease and desist orders would have on (1) the public PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 health and welfare, (2) competitive conditions in the U.S. economy, (3) U.S. production of articles that are like or directly competitive with those that are subject to investigation, and (4) U.S. consumers. The Commission is therefore interested in receiving written submissions that address the aforementioned public interest factors in the context of this investigation. If the Commission orders some form of remedy, the U.S. Trade Representative, as delegated by the President, has 60 days to approve or disapprove the Commission’s action. See Presidential Memorandum of July 21, 2005. 70 FR 43251 (July 26, 2005). During this period, the subject articles would be entitled to enter the United States under bond, in an amount determined by the Commission and prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Commission is therefore interested in receiving submissions concerning the amount of the bond that should be imposed if a remedy is ordered. Written Submissions: Parties to the investigation, interested government agencies, and any other interested parties are encouraged to file written submissions on the issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding. Complainant and the IA are also requested to submit proposed remedial orders for the Commission’s consideration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation

of Wixom, Michigan (``Choon's''). 79 FR 45844-45

[[Page 16024]]

(August 6, 2014). The complaint alleged violations of section 337 by 
reason of the importation into the United States, the sale for 
importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of 
certain loom kits for creating linked articles that infringe U.S. 
Patent No. 8,485,565 (``the '565 patent''). The notice of investigation 
named thirteen respondents, all of which either have been found in 
default or terminated from this investigation. See Notice of Commission 
Determination Not to Review an Initial Determination Terminating the 
Investigation as to Respondent Creative Kidstuff, LLC (September 26, 
2014); Notice of Commission Determination Not to Review an Initial 
Determination Finding Respondent Island in the Sun LLC in Default 
(October 16, 2014); Notice of Commission Determination Not to Review 
Two Initial Determinations Finding Certain Respondents in Default and 
Terminating the Investigation with Respect to Another Respondent 
(January 9, 2015); Notice of Commission Determination Not to Review an 
Initial Determination Terminating the Investigation as to Respondent 
Altatac, Inc. (January 13, 2015). The respondents in default are Island 
in the Sun LLC; Quality Innovations Inc.; Yiwu Mengwang Craft & Art 
Factory; Shenzhen Xuncent Technology Co., Ltd.; My Imports USA LLC; 
Jayfinn LLC; Hongkong Haoguan Plastic Hardware Co., Ltd.; Blinkee.com, 
LLC; Eyyup Arga; and Itcoolnomore (collectively, ``defaulting 
respondents'').
    On December 5, 2014, Choon's moved for a summary determination of a 
violation of section 337 and for issuance of a general exclusion order. 
On December 17, 2014, the Commission investigative attorney (``IA'') 
submitted a response supporting the motion. No other responses to the 
motion were received.
    On February 3, 2015, the ALJ issued an ID granting Choon's motion 
for summary determination of violation and recommending the issuance of 
a general exclusion order. See Order No. 13. On February 13, 2015, the 
IA submitted a petition for review of the ID in part. The IA argued 
that the ALJ improperly accepted alleged domestic industry investments 
in ``paying a patent attorney to prosecute U.S. and international 
patent applications'' and ``visiting a Chinese factory for a week to 
investigate manufacturing the Rainbow Loom[supreg] kits.'' See ID at 
40. The IA also contended that certain foreign expenditures should have 
been excluded and other domestic expenditures should have been included 
in the total investment summarized by the ALJ on page 42 of the ID. The 
IA asserts that, notwithstanding these points, the Commission should 
affirm the ALJ's conclusion that Choon's has satisfied the domestic 
industry requirement and that a violation of section 337 has been 
proven.
    On February 18, 2015, Choon's filed a response to the IA's 
petition. Choon's took no position as to whether patent prosecution 
costs or visiting Chinese manufacturers count as domestic industry 
investments. Choon's agreed with the IA that certain domestic 
expenditures should be included in the domestic investment total and 
that the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement has been 
met.
    The Commission has determined to review only the domestic industry 
economic prong determination in the ID. Upon review, the Commission 
affirms a finding that Choon's has shown a substantial investment in 
the exploitation of the '565 patent through engineering, and research 
and development of articles protected by the '565 patent, but the 
Commission modifies certain portions of the ID regarding the 
expenditures comprising the domestic industry investments. The 
Commission's modifications will be specified in a later Commission 
opinion.
    In connection with the final disposition of this investigation, the 
Commission may (1) issue an order that could result in the exclusion of 
the subject articles from entry into the United States, and/or (2) 
issue one or more cease and desist orders that could result in one or 
more respondents being required to cease and desist from engaging in 
unfair acts in the importation and sale of such articles. Accordingly, 
the Commission is interested in receiving written submissions that 
address the form of remedy, if any, that should be ordered. If a party 
seeks exclusion of an article from entry into the United States for 
purposes other than entry for consumption, the party should so indicate 
and provide information establishing that activities involving other 
types of entry either are adversely affecting it or likely to do so. 
For background, see Certain Devices for Connecting Computers via 
Telephone Lines, Inv. No. 337-TA-360, USITC Pub. No. 2843 (December 
1994) (Commission Opinion).
    If the Commission contemplates some form of remedy, it must 
consider the effects of that remedy upon the public interest. The 
factors the Commission will consider include the effect that an 
exclusion order and/or cease and desist orders would have on (1) the 
public health and welfare, (2) competitive conditions in the U.S. 
economy, (3) U.S. production of articles that are like or directly 
competitive with those that are subject to investigation, and (4) U.S. 
consumers. The Commission is therefore interested in receiving written 
submissions that address the aforementioned public interest factors in 
the context of this investigation. If the Commission orders some form 
of remedy, the U.S. Trade Representative, as delegated by the 
President, has 60 days to approve or disapprove the Commission's 
action. See Presidential Memorandum of July 21, 2005. 70 FR 43251 (July 
26, 2005). During this period, the subject articles would be entitled 
to enter the United States under bond, in an amount determined by the 
Commission and prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. The 
Commission is therefore interested in receiving submissions concerning 
the amount of the bond that should be imposed if a remedy is ordered.
    Written Submissions: Parties to the investigation, interested 
government agencies, and any other interested parties are encouraged to 
file written submissions on the issues of remedy, the public interest, 
and bonding. Complainant and the IA are also requested to submit 
proposed remedial orders for the Commission's consideration. 
Complainant is also requested to state the date on which the '565 
patent expires and the HTSUS subheadings under which the accused 
products are imported.
    Written submissions must be filed no later than close of business 
on April 3, 2015. Reply submissions must be filed no later than the 
close of business on April 10, 2015. Such submissions should address 
the ALJ's recommended determinations on remedy and bonding which were 
made in Order No. 13. No further submissions on any of these issues 
will be permitted unless otherwise ordered by the Commission.
    Persons filing written submissions must file the original document 
electronically on or before the deadlines stated above and submit eight 
true paper copies to the Office of the Secretary by noon the next day 
pursuant to section 210.4(f) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
