Notice of a Commission Determination
Not To Review an Initial Determination
Finding All Respondents in Default;

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Notice is hereby given that
the U.S. International Trade
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) has
determined not to review an initial
determination (‘‘ID’’) (Order No. 7) of
the presiding administrative law judge
(‘‘ALJ’’), finding all respondents in
default. The Commission requests
written submissions from the parties,
interested government agencies, and
other interested persons on the issues of
remedy, the public interest, and
bonding, under the schedule set forth
below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
8, 2023, the Commission instituted this
investigation based on a complaint filed
by Club-Conex LLC of Scottsdale,
Arizona (‘‘Club-Conex’’). 86 FR 14393
(Mar. 8, 2023). The complaint alleged
violations of section 337 of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C.
1337, due to the importation into the
United States, sale for importation, or
sale in the United States after
importation of certain universal golf
club shaft and golf club head connection
adaptors, certain components thereof,
and products containing the same by

reason of infringement of certain claims
of U.S. Patent No. 11,426,638. Id. The
complaint also alleged the existence of
a domestic industry. Id. The notice of
investigation named as respondents Top
Golf Equipment Co. Limited, d/b/a AllFit Golf of Shenzhen, China; Volf Sports
Co. LTD of Shenzhen, China; and
WoFu(Shenzhen)Sports Goods Co., Ltd.
of Shenzhen, China (collectively,
‘‘Respondents’’). Id. The Office of Unfair
Import Investigations was not named as
a party. Id.
On April 6, 2023, Club-Conex moved
for an order directing Respondents to
show cause as to why they should not
be found in default for failing to
respond to the complaint and notice of
investigation. Complainant stated in its
motion that it does not seek a general
exclusion order. Mot. at 6 n.5. No
response to the motion was filed.
On April 25, 2023, the ALJ issued
Order No. 6, finding that Respondents
were served with the complaint and
notice of investigation, yet did not file
responses thereto or otherwise
participate in this investigation; and
directing Respondents to show cause,
no later than March 29, 2023, as to why
they should not be found in default. No
response to the show cause order was
filed.
On May 4, 2023, Club-Conex
submitted exhibits demonstrating proof
of service of Order No. 6 on
Respondents.
On May 17, 2023, the ALJ issued
Order No. 7, the subject ID, finding that
Respondents have not responded to the
order to show cause (Order No. 6), and
therefore are in default pursuant to 19
CFR 210.16. No petitions for review of
the ID were filed.
The Commission has determined not
to review the subject ID. All
respondents are hereby found to be in
default.
In connection with the final
disposition of this investigation, the
statute authorizes issuance of, inter alia,
(1) an exclusion order that could result
in the exclusion of the subject articles
from entry into the United States; and/
or (2) cease and desist orders that could
result in the respondent being required
to cease and desist from engaging in
unfair acts in the importation and sale
of such articles. Accordingly, the
Commission is interested in receiving
written submissions that address the
form of remedy, if any, that should be
ordered. If a party seeks exclusion of an
article from entry into the United States
for purposes other than entry for
consumption, the party should so
indicate and provide information
establishing that activities involving
other types of entry either are adversely

affecting it or likely to do so. For
background, see Certain Devices for
Connecting Computers via Telephone
Lines, Inv. No. 337–TA–360, USITC
Pub. No. 2843, Comm’n Op. at 7–10
(Dec. 1994).
The statute requires the Commission
to consider the effects of that remedy
upon the public interest. The public
interest factors the Commission will
consider include the effect that an
exclusion order and cease and desist
orders would have on: (1) the public
health and welfare, (2) competitive
conditions in the U.S. economy, (3) U.S.
production of articles that are like or
directly competitive with those that are
subject to investigation, and (4) U.S.
consumers. The Commission is
therefore interested in receiving written
submissions that address the
aforementioned public interest factors
in the context of this investigation.
If the Commission orders some form
of remedy, the U.S. Trade
Representative, as delegated by the
President, has 60 days to approve,
disapprove, or take no action on the
Commission’s determination. See
Presidential Memorandum of July 21,
2005, 70 FR 43251 (July 26, 2005).
During this period, the subject articles
would be entitled to enter the United
States under bond, in an amount
determined by the Commission and
prescribed by the Secretary of the
Treasury. The Commission is therefore
interested in receiving submissions
concerning the amount of the bond that
should be imposed if a remedy is
ordered.
Written Submissions: Parties to the
investigation, interested government
agencies, and any other interested
parties are encouraged to file written
submissions on the issues of remedy,
the public interest, and bonding.
In its initial submission, Complainant
is also requested to identify the remedy
sought and to submit proposed remedial
orders for the Commission’s
consideration. Complainant is further
requested to provide the HTSUS
subheadings under which the accused
products are imported, and to supply
the identification information for all
known importers of the products at
issue in this investigation. The initial
written submissions and proposed
remedial orders must be filed no later
than close of business on July 27, 2023.
Reply submissions must be filed no later
than the close of business on August 3,
2023. No further submissions on these
issues will be permitted unless
otherwise ordered by the Commission.

must file the original document

Procedures, https://www.usitc.gov/

regarding filing should contact the
Secretary, (202) 205–2000.
Any person desiring to submit a
document to the Commission in
confidence must request confidential
treatment by marking each document
with a header indicating that the
document contains confidential
information. This marking will be
deemed to satisfy the request procedure
set forth in Rules 201.6(b) and
210.5(e)(2) (19 CFR 201.6(b) &
210.5(e)(2)). Documents for which
confidential treatment by the
Commission is properly sought will be
treated accordingly. Any non-party
wishing to submit comments containing
confidential information must serve
those comments on the parties to the
investigation pursuant to the applicable
Administrative Protective Order. A
redacted non-confidential version of the
document must also be filed with the
Commission and served on any parties
to the investigation within two business
days of any confidential filing. All
information, including confidential
business information and documents for
which confidential treatment is properly
sought, submitted to the Commission for
purposes of this investigation may be
disclosed to and used: (i) by the
Commission, its employees and Offices,
and contract personnel (a) for
developing or maintaining the records
of this or a related proceeding, or (b) in
internal investigations, audits, reviews,
and evaluations relating to the
programs, personnel, and operations of
the Commission including under 5
U.S.C. appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S.
government employees and contract
personnel, solely for cybersecurity
purposes. All contract personnel will
sign appropriate nondisclosure
agreements. All nonconfidential written
submissions will be available for public
inspection on EDIS.
While temporary remote operating
procedures are in place in response to
COVID–19, the Office of the Secretary is
not able to serve parties that have not
retained counsel or otherwise provided
a point of contact for electronic service.
Accordingly, pursuant to Commission
Rules 201.16(a) and 210.7(a)(1) (19 CFR
201.16(a), 210.7(a)(1)), the Commission
orders that the Complainant(s) complete

(II); Notice of a Commission Determination Not To Review an Initial
Determination Finding All Respondents in Default; Request for Written
Submissions on Remedy, the Public Interest, and Bonding
AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade
Commission (``Commission'') has determined not to review an initial
determination (``ID'') (Order No. 7) of the presiding administrative
law judge (``ALJ''), finding all respondents in default. The Commission
requests written submissions from the parties, interested government
agencies, and other interested persons on the issues of remedy, the
public interest, and bonding, under the schedule set forth below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronald A. Traud, Esq., Office of the
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW,
Washington, DC 20436, telephone (202) 205-3427. Copies of non-
confidential documents filed in connection with this investigation may
be viewed on the Commission's electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. For help accessing EDIS, please email
[email protected]. General information concerning the Commission may
also be obtained by accessing its internet server at https://www.usitc.gov. Hearing-impaired persons are advised that information on
this matter can be obtained by contacting the Commission's TDD terminal
on (202) 205-1810.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 8, 2023, the Commission instituted
this investigation based on a complaint filed by Club-Conex LLC of
Scottsdale, Arizona (``Club-Conex''). 86 FR 14393 (Mar. 8, 2023). The
complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, due to the importation into the United
States, sale for importation, or sale in the United States after
importation of certain universal golf club shaft and golf club head
connection adaptors, certain components thereof, and products
containing the same by
[[Page 46184]]
reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 11,426,638.
Id. The complaint also alleged the existence of a domestic industry.
Id. The notice of investigation named as respondents Top Golf Equipment
Co. Limited, d/b/a All-Fit Golf of Shenzhen, China; Volf Sports Co. LTD
of Shenzhen, China; and WoFu(Shenzhen)Sports Goods Co., Ltd. of
Shenzhen, China (collectively, ``Respondents''). Id. The Office of
Unfair Import Investigations was not named as a party. Id.
On April 6, 2023, Club-Conex moved for an order directing
Respondents to show cause as to why they should not be found in default
for failing to respond to the complaint and notice of investigation.
Complainant stated in its motion that it does not seek a general
exclusion order. Mot. at 6 n.5. No response to the motion was filed.
On April 25, 2023, the ALJ issued Order No. 6, finding that
Respondents were served with the complaint and notice of investigation,
yet did not file responses thereto or otherwise participate in this
investigation; and directing Respondents to show cause, no later than
March 29, 2023, as to why they should not be found in default. No
response to the show cause order was filed.
On May 4, 2023, Club-Conex submitted exhibits demonstrating proof
of service of Order No. 6 on Respondents.
On May 17, 2023, the ALJ issued Order No. 7, the subject ID,
finding that Respondents have not responded to the order to show cause
(Order No. 6), and therefore are in default pursuant to 19 CFR 210.16.
No petitions for review of the ID were filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. All
respondents are hereby found to be in default.
In connection with the final disposition of this investigation, the
statute authorizes issuance of, inter alia, (1) an exclusion order that
could result in the exclusion of the subject articles from entry into
the United States; and/or (2) cease and desist orders that could result
in the respondent being required to cease and desist from engaging in
unfair acts in the importation and sale of such articles. Accordingly,
the Commission is interested in receiving written submissions that
address the form of remedy, if any, that should be ordered. If a party
seeks exclusion of an article from entry into the United States for
purposes other than entry for consumption, the party should so indicate
and provide information establishing that activities involving other
types of entry either are adversely affecting it or likely to do so.
For background, see Certain Devices for Connecting Computers via
Telephone Lines, Inv. No. 337-TA-360, USITC Pub. No. 2843, Comm'n Op.
at 7-10 (Dec. 1994).
The statute requires the Commission to consider the effects of that
remedy upon the public interest. The public interest factors the
Commission will consider include the effect that an exclusion order and
cease and desist orders would have on: (1) the public health and
welfare, (2) competitive conditions in the U.S. economy, (3) U.S.
production of articles that are like or directly competitive with those
that are subject to investigation, and (4) U.S. consumers. The
Commission is therefore interested in receiving written submissions
that address the aforementioned public interest factors in the context
of this investigation.
If the Commission orders some form of remedy, the U.S. Trade
Representative, as delegated by the President, has 60 days to approve,
disapprove, or take no action on the Commission's determination. See
Presidential Memorandum of July 21, 2005, 70 FR 43251 (July 26, 2005).
During this period, the subject articles would be entitled to enter the
United States under bond, in an amount determined by the Commission and
prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Commission is
therefore interested in receiving submissions concerning the amount of
the bond that should be imposed if a remedy is ordered.
Written Submissions: Parties to the investigation, interested
government agencies, and any other interested parties are encouraged to
file written submissions on the issues of remedy, the public interest,
and bonding.
In its initial submission, Complainant is also requested to
identify the remedy sought and to submit proposed remedial orders for
the Commission's consideration. Complainant is further requested to
provide the HTSUS subheadings under which the accused products are
imported, and to supply the identification information for all known
importers of the products at issue in this investigation. The initial
written submissions and proposed remedial orders must be filed no later
than close of business on July 27, 2023. Reply submissions must be
filed no later than the close of business on August 3, 2023. No further
submissions on these issues will be permitted unless otherwise ordered
by the Commission.
