On March 19, 2019, the presiding administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued an initial determination (‘‘ID’’) granting Bear Archery’s motion for summary determination of violation of section 337 by the defaulting respondents and request for issuance of a GEO. The ID finds that all defaulting respondents met the importation requirement and that VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:36 Jul 18, 2019 Jkt 247001 Bear Archery satisfied the domestic industry requirement. See 19 U.S.C. 1337(a)(1)(B), (a)(2), and (a)(3). The ID also finds that a violation of section 337 has occurred based on its finding that each of the defaulting respondents’ accused products infringe one or more of the asserted claims of the ’775 patent as established by substantial, reliable, and probative evidence.

The Commission has determined that the appropriate form of relief is a GEO prohibiting the unlawful entry of fullcapture arrow rests and components thereof that infringe one or more of claims 1–2 and 32 of the ’775 patent. The Commission further determined that the public interest factors enumerated in section 337(g)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1)) do not preclude issuance of the GEO. Finally, the Commission determined that there shall be a bond in the amount of 100 percent of the entered value of the covered products during the period of Presidential review (19 U.S.C. 1337(j)). The Commission’s order and opinion were delivered to the President and to the United States Trade Representative on the day of their issuance. The Commission has terminated the investigation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on June 11, 2018, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Bear Archery, 
Inc. (``Bear Archery'') of Evansville, Indiana. 83 FR 27021-22 (June 
11, 2018). The complaint alleges violations of section 337 based upon 
the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and 
the sale within the United States after importation of certain full-
capture arrow rests and components thereof by reason of infringement of 
certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,978,775 (``the '775 patent''). The 
Commission's notice of investigation named as respondents 2BULBS 
Technology Co. Ltd. of Jiangsu, China; Ningbo Linkboy Outdoor Sports 
Co., Ltd. of Zhejiang, China; Shenzhen Keepmyway Tech. Co., Ltd., 
Wenqing Zhang, Tingting Ye, and Tao Li, all of Guangdong, China; 
Zhengzhou IRQ Outdoor Sports Co., Ltd. of Henan, China; and Sean Yuan 
of Shandong, China. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations 
(``OUII'') is also a party to the investigation. All respondents in the 
investigation have been found in default. See Order No. 9 (Oct. 29, 
2018), unreviewed by Comm'n Notice (Nov. 26, 2018).
    On March 19, 2019, the presiding administrative law judge (``ALJ'') 
issued an initial determination (``ID'') granting Bear Archery's motion 
for summary determination of violation of section 337 by the defaulting 
respondents and request for issuance of a GEO. The ID finds that all 
defaulting respondents met the importation requirement and that Bear 
Archery satisfied the domestic industry requirement. See 19 U.S.C. 
1337(a)(1)(B), (a)(2), and (a)(3). The ID also finds that a violation 
of section 337 has occurred based on its finding that each of the 
defaulting respondents' accused products infringe one or more of the 
asserted claims of the '775 patent as established by substantial, 
reliable, and probative evidence. The ID also contains the ALJ's 
recommended determination (``RD'') on remedy and bonding. The RD 
recommends issuance of a general exclusion order (``GEO'') with respect 
to the asserted '775 patent. No party petitioned for review of the ID.
    On May 2, 2019, the Commission issued notice of its determination 
not to review the ID. 84 FR 20163-64 (May 8, 2019). On the same date, 
the Commission requested written submissions on the issues of remedy, 
the public interest, and bonding from the parties and interested non-
parties. Id. On May 16, 2019, Bear Archery and OUII each filed a brief 
regarding remedy, the public interest, and bonding, and on May 23, 
2019, OUII filed a reply brief.
    The Commission has made its determination on the issues of remedy, 
the public interest, and bonding. The Commission has determined that 
the appropriate form of relief is a GEO prohibiting the unlawful entry 
of full-capture arrow rests and components thereof that infringe one or 
more of claims 1-2 and 32 of the '775 patent.
    The Commission further determined that the public interest factors 
enumerated in section 337(g)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1)) do not preclude 
issuance of the GEO. Finally, the Commission determined that there 
shall be a bond in the amount of 100 percent of the entered value of 
the covered products during the period of Presidential review (19 
U.S.C. 1337(j)). The Commission's order and opinion were delivered to 
the President and to the United States Trade Representative on the day 
of their issuance. The Commission has terminated the investigation.
    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 Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR 
part 210.
