Id.
On April 11, 2017, the ALJ issued an
ID finding iQbe in default for failing to
respond to the complaint, the notice of
investigation, and multiple discovery
requests, and for failing to respond to an
order to show cause why it should not
be found in default. Order No. 9, not
reviewed, Notice (May 11, 2017).
On May 31, 2017, the ALJ issued an
ID, granting Kent Displays’ motion to
terminate the investigation with respect
to Howshare based on a withdrawal of
the complaint. Order No. 11 (May 31,
2017).
On June 1, 2017, Kent Displays filed
a declaration seeking a limited
exclusion order (‘‘LEO’’) and a proposed
cease and desist order (‘‘CDO’’) against
the defaulted respondent iQbe pursuant
to section 337(g)(1) and Commission
Rule 210.16(c). The declaration contains
Kent Displays’ views on remedy, the
public interest, and bonding. A
proposed LEO and CDO were attached
to the declaration.
On June 26, 2017, the Commission
issued a notice determining not to
review Order No. 11. Notice (Jun. 26,
2017); 82 FR 29930–31 (June 30, 2017).
The notice also requested written
submissions on the issues of remedy,
the public interest, and bonding
concerning the requested LEO and CDO
against iQbe. Id.
On July 10, 2017, Kent Displays filed
its submission on remedy, the public
interest, and bonding. No other
submissions were received.
Having reviewed the submissions on
remedy, the public interest, and
bonding filed in response to the
Commission’s Notice, and the
information provided in the complaint,
the Commission has determined,
pursuant to section 337(g)(1), 19 U.S.C.
1337(g)(1), that the appropriate form of
relief in this investigation is: (1) An LEO
against iQbe, prohibiting the unlicensed
entry of liquid crystal eWriters and
components thereof that infringe claims
1–5, 10, 11, 13–16, 18–23, 26, and 27 of
the ’506 patent and/or claims 1, 2, 9–11,
15–17, 21, and 22 of the ’604 patent and
(2) an order that iQbe cease and desist
from importing, selling, marketing,
advertising, distributing, transferring
(except for exportation), soliciting
United States agents or distributors, and
aiding or abetting other entities in the
importation, sale for importation, sale

and/or claims 1, 2, 9–11, 15–17, 21, and
22 of the ’604 patent.
The Commission has determined that
the public interest factors enumerated in
section 337(g)(1), 19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1),
do not preclude the issuance of the LEO
or CDO. The Commission has
determined that bonding at 100 percent
of the entered value of the covered
products is required during the period
of Presidential review, 19 U.S.C. 1337(j).
The Commission’s order and opinion
were delivered to the President and the
United States Trade Representative on
the day of their issuance.
The investigation is terminated.

determination is contained in section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
