supplies and components thereof by
reason of infringement of certain claims
of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,959,985 and
7,104,630. 75 FR 45663 (Aug. 3, 2010).
Complainant named Mipo
International, Ltd. of Atlanta, Georgia
(‘‘Mipo’’); Mextec Group Inc. of Miami,
Florida (‘‘Mextec’’); Shanghai Angel
Printer Supplies Co., Ltd. of Shanghai,
China (‘‘Shanghai Angel’’); Shenzhen
Print Media Co., Ltd. of Guangdong,
China (‘‘Shenzhen’’); Zhuhai National
Resources & Jingjie Imaging Products
Co., Ltd. of Guangdong, China (‘‘Zhuhai
National’’); Tatrix International of
Guangdong, China (‘‘Tatrix’’); and
Ourway Image Co. Ltd. of Guangdong,
China (‘‘Ourway’’) as respondents.
Subsequently, Mipo, Mextec, and
Shenzhen were terminated from the
investigation based on either a
settlement agreement with HP or
because HP withdrew its allegations
against them. The remaining
respondents, i.e., Shanghai Angel,
Zhuhai National, Tatrix, and Ourway
(collectively, ‘‘Defaulting
Respondents’’), failed to answer the
Complaint and Notice of Investigation
and default judgments were granted
against all the Defaulting Respondents.
On March 7, 2011, complainant HP
filed a paper entitled ‘‘Motion for
Summary Determination That a
Domestic Industry Exists and That
There Have Been Violations of Section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (Amended)
By the Defaulting Respondents and
Complainants’ Request for a General
Exclusion Order.’’ Complainant sought a
determination that a domestic industry
exists and that there has been a
violation of Section 337 and requested
a recommendation for a general
exclusion order (‘‘GEO’’). On August 3,
2011, the ALJ issued an initial
determination (‘‘ID’’) (Order No. 14)
granting complainant’s motion for
summary determination. The ID
contained the ALJ’s recommended
determination on remedy and bonding
including a recommendation for
issuance of a GEO against the Defaulting
Respondents. The ALJ also
recommended that the Commission set
a bond of 100 percent during the period
of Presidential review.
On September 1, 2011, the
Commission determined not to review
the ID and requested briefing on
remedy, the public interest, and
bonding. Only HP and the Commission
investigative attorney timely filed their
respective submissions, containing
proposed GEOs.

The Commission has determined that
the appropriate form of relief is a GEO
under 19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(2), prohibiting
the unlicensed entry of inkjet cartridges
and components thereof covered by one
or more of claims 1–5, 7, 22–25, 27 and
28 of the ‘985 patent and claims 1–7,
11–12, 14, 26–30, 32, 34 and 35 of the
‘630 patent.
The Commission has further
determined that the public interest
factors enumerated in Section 337(d) (19
U.S.C. 1337(d)) do not preclude
issuance of the GEO. The Commission
has determined that the bond for
temporary importation during the
period of Presidential review (19 U.S.C.
1337(j)) shall be in the amount of 100
percent of the value of the imported
articles that are subject to the order. The
Commission’s order was delivered to
the President and the United States
Trade Representative on the day of its
issuance.
The authority for the Commission’s
determination is contained in Section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in
sections 210.42–50 of the Commission’s
