SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on March 23, 2006, based on a complaint filed by Epson Portland, Inc. of Oregon, Epson America, Inc. of California, and Seiko Epson Corporation of Japan. 71 FR 14720 (2006). The complaint alleged violations of section 337 in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain ink cartridges and components thereof by reason of infringement of claim 7 of U.S. Patent No. 5,615,957; claims 18, 81, 93, 149, 164 and 165 of U.S. Patent No. 5,622,439; claims 83 and 84 of U.S. Patent No. 5,158,377; claims 19 and 20 PO 00000 Frm 00100 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 32127 of U.S. Patent No. 5,221,148; claims 29, 31, 34 and 38 of U.S. Patent No. 5,156,472; claim 1 of U.S. Patent No. 5,488,401; claims 1–3 and 9 of U.S. Patent No. 6,502,917; claims 1, 31 and 34 of U.S. Patent No. 6,550,902; and claims 1, 10 and 14 of U.S. Patent No. 6,955,422. The complaint further alleged that an industry in the United States exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337. The complainants requested that the Commission issue a general exclusion order and cease and desist orders. The Commission named as respondents 24 companies located in China, Germany, Hong Kong, Korea, and the United States. The ALJ set June 25, 2007, as the target date for completion of the investigation. The ALJ issued the subject ID on May 3, 2006. The ID grants complainants’ motion to add infringement of claim 1 of United States Patent No. 7,008,053 and claims 21, 45, 53 and 54 of United States Patent No. 7,011,397 to the complaint and notice of investigation, to submit supplemental information, and to include an additional accused device in the investigation. The ALJ found that there was ‘‘good cause’’ to permit the new allegations of infringement because the two patents had issued after the complaint was filed in this investigation and discovery was still in its early stages. The Commission investigative attorney supported complainants’ motion. Three respondents opposed the motion. No petitions for review of the ID were filed. This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and Commission rule 210.42, 19 CFR 210.42. By order of the Commission.
