SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on March 23, 2021, based on a
complaint filed by The NOCO Company
(‘‘NOCO’’) of Glenwillow, Ohio. 86 FR
15496–98 (Mar. 23, 2021). The
complaint, as amended and
supplemented, alleges violations of
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based upon
the importation into the United States,
the sale for importation, and the sale
within the United States after
importation of certain portable battery
jump starters and components thereof
by reason of infringement of certain
claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,007,015 and
10,604,024 (‘‘the ’024 patent’’), and U.S.
Trademark Registration Nos. 4,811,656
and 4,811,749. The complaint further
alleges the existence of a domestic
industry. The Commission’s NOI named
forty-four (44) respondents, including:
Lowe’s Companies, Inc.; O’Reilly
Automotive, Inc.; Halo2Cloud, LLC of
Hartford, Connecticut, QVC, Inc. of
Chester, Pennsylvania, and Zagg Co. Rrd
Gst of Plainfield, Indiana (collectively,

of Birmingham, United Kingdom;
Shenzhen Dingjiang Technology Co.,
Ltd. and Shenzhen Topdon Technology
Co., Ltd. (collectively ‘‘Shenzhen’’),
both of Shenzhen, China; and Winplus
North America, Inc. of Costa Mesa,
California. The Office of Unfair Import
Investigations is participating in the
investigation.
On April 21, 2021, NOCO moved to
amend the complaint and NOI as
follows: (1) Substitute Lowe’s Home
Centers, LLC, for presently named
respondent Lowe’s Companies, Inc.; (2)
substitute O’Reilly Automotive Stores,
Inc., O’Reilly Auto Enterprises, LLC,

which are related to presently named
respondent Winplus North America,
Inc. NOCO also moved to withdraw
infringement allegations as to HALO’s
accused products with respect to the
’024 patent and correct certain
typographical and clerical errors.
On April 22, 2021, NOCO and Lowe’s
jointly moved to terminate the
investigation as to Lowe’s based on a
settlement agreement between NOCO
and Lowe’s that resolves all issues
between these parties. On the same date,
NOCO and O’Reilly jointly moved to
terminate the investigation as to
O’Reilly based on a settlement
agreement between NOCO and O’Reilly
that resolves all issues between these
parties. Both motions were unopposed.
On April 23, 2021, the ALJ issued the
subject IDs. Order No. 13 grants NOCO’s
unopposed motion to amend the
complaint and notice of investigation as
described above. The ID finds that the
motion satisfies Commission Rule
210.14(b) (19 CFR 210.14(b)) because
good cause exists to amend the
complaint and NOI as detailed in
NOCO’s motion. Order No. 14 grants the
unopposed joint motions to terminate
the investigation as to Lowe’s and
O’Reilly based on settlement. The IDs
find that the joint motions satisfy the
requirements of Commission Rule
210.21(b) (19 CFR 210.21(b)) and that
terminating the investigation as to
Lowe’s and O’Reilly is not contrary to
the public interest. No party petitioned
for review of either ID.
The Commission has determined not
to review the subject IDs. The complaint
and NOI are amended as detailed in
NOCO’s motion. In addition, Lowe’s
and O’Reilly are terminated from the
investigation.
The Commission vote for this
determination took place on May 17,
2021.
The authority for the Commission’s
determination is contained in section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
