See Order No. 13. On February 13, 2015, the IA submitted a petition for review of the ID in part. On March 20, 2015, the Commission determined to review only the domestic industry economic prong determination in the ID. Upon review, the Commission determined to affirm the ALJ’s 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 determined to modify certain portions of the ID regarding the expenditures comprising the domestic industry investments.

    On February 3, 2015, the presiding administrative law judge 
(``ALJ'') issued an ID finding a violation of section 337 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. On March 20, 2015, the Commission determined to review only 
the domestic industry economic prong determination in the ID. Upon 
review, the Commission determined to affirm the ALJ's 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 determined to 
modify certain portions of the ID regarding the expenditures comprising 
the domestic industry investments. The Commission stated that its 
modifications would be specified in a later Commission opinion. Having 
affirmed a violation of section 337, the Commission requested briefing 
concerning remedy, the public interest, and bonding. See 80 FR 16023-25 
(March 26, 2015).
    In response to the Commission's notice, Choon's informed the 
Commission that it changed its corporate form during the course of the 
investigation from Choon's Design, Inc., to Choon's Design LLC. Choon's 
also requested that claims 2 and 3 of the '565 patent be withdrawn from 
the investigation. No contrary submissions were received on those 
points. Accordingly, the Commission has determined to amend the notice 
of investigation to reflect that the complainant is Choon's Design LLC. 
The Commission has further determined to terminate the investigation 
with respect to claims 2 and 3.
    Upon review of all submissions in response to the Commission's 
notice, and the entire record of the investigation, the Commission has 
determined that the appropriate form of relief for the determined 
violation of section 337 is a general exclusion order barring entry of 
loom kits that infringe claim 4 of the '565 patent. The Commission has 
further determined that the public interest factors enumerated in 
section 337(d)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(1)) do not preclude issuance of 
the general exclusion order. Additionally, the Commission has 
determined that a bond in the amount of one hundred (100) percent of 
the entered value of subject articles is required to permit temporary 
importation of the articles in question during the period of 
Presidential review (19 U.S.C. 1337(j)). The Commission has also issued 
an opinion explaining its modification of the ALJ's domestic industry 
economic prong analysis and explaining the basis for the remedy. The 
Commission's determination is final and the investigation is terminated 
in its entirety.
    The Commission's orders and the record upon which it based its 
determination were delivered to the President and to the United States 
Trade Representative on the day of their issuance. The Commission has 
also notified the Secretary of the Treasury of the orders.
    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
