SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
under section 337 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337
(‘‘section 337’’) on October 9, 2019,
based on a complaint filed by SK
Innovation Co., Ltd. of Seoul, Republic
of Korea and SK Battery America, Inc.
of Atlanta, Georgia (collectively, ‘‘SK’’).
84 FR 54173–74 (Oct. 9, 2019). The
complaint alleges a violation 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 pouch-type
battery cells, battery modules, and
battery packs, components thereof, and
products containing the same by reason
of infringement of claims 1–36 of the
’994 patent. The complaint named as
respondents LG Chem, Ltd. of Seoul,
Republic of Korea, and LG Chem
Michigan, Inc. of Holland, Michigan
(collectively, ‘‘LG’’). The Commission’s
Office of Unfair Import Investigations
(‘‘OUII’’) also was named as a party.
Subsequently, the investigation was
terminated in part based on withdrawal
of the complaint as to claims 8, 9, 17,
26, 27, and 35 of the ’994 patent. Order
No. 23 (March 25, 2020), unreviewed by
Notice (Apr. 22, 2020). Further, the
Commission determined that the
economic prong of the domestic
industry is satisfied. Order No. 51 (Dec.
14, 2020), reviewed, and on review,
affirmed with modified reasoning by
Notice (Jan. 14, 2021).
On January 4, 2021, SK filed a
corrected motion for leave to amend the
complaint and notice of investigation to
reflect a reorganization of respondent
LG Chem, Ltd. (‘‘LGC’’) in which (i)
certain business functions were
transferred to a newly created
subsidiary named LG Energy Solution,
Ltd., and (ii) respondent LG Chem
Michigan Inc. was renamed LG Energy

Solution Michigan, Inc. SK also moved
to terminate the investigation in part
with respect to claims 1, 2, 4, 7, 10–14,
16, 18, 21, 23, 28, 29–32, 34, and 36 of
the ’994 patent based on withdrawal of
the allegations in the complaint as to
those claims. Respondents did not
oppose the motion. Mot. at 3. On
January 6, 2021, OUII advised the
presiding CALJ that it does not object to
the motion and will not be filing a
response.
On January 11, 2021, the CALJ issued
the subject ID granting SK’s motion
pursuant to Commission Rules 210.14(b)
and 210.21(a)(1), 19 CFR 210.14(b),
210.21(a)(1). The ID finds that good
cause exists for amending the complaint
and notice of investigation due to the
recent change in corporate structure. ID
at 2. The ID finds that amending the
complaint and notice of investigation to
reflect LGC’s recent corporate
reorganization will aid in the
development of this investigation and
serve the public interest by apprising
the public of the correct entities
involved. The ID finds that the proposed
amendments do not unnecessarily
prejudice the public interest or the
rights of the parties to the investigation.
The ID further finds that no
extraordinary circumstances exist that
would prevent the requested partial
termination of this investigation. Id. at
4. No party petitioned for review of the
ID.
The Commission has determined not
to review the subject ID. Claims 1, 2, 4,
7, 10–14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 28, 29–32, 34,
and 36 of the ’994 patent are terminated
from this investigation.
The Commission vote for this
determination took place on February 8,
2021.
