SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 8, 2023, the Commission instituted this investigation based on a complaint filed by Club-Conex LLC of Scottsdale, Arizona (‘‘Complainant’’). 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 (‘‘the ’638 patent’’). 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. None of the Respondents answered the complaint and notice of investigation or appeared in the investigation, and on April 6, 2023, Complainant moved for an order directing Respondents to show cause as to why they should not be found in default. Complainant stated in its motion that it does not seek a general exclusion order. Mot. at 6 n.5. On April 25, 2023, the ALJ issued Order No. 6, directing Respondents to show cause, no later than May 10, 2023, as to why they should not be found in default. Order No. 6 at 2 (Apr. 25, 2023). No response to the show cause order was filed. On May 17, 2023, the ALJ issued Order No. 7, finding Respondents in default pursuant to 19 CFR 210.16. The Commission determined not to review Order No. 7 on July 13, 2023, and issued a notice requesting submissions on remedy, public interest, and bonding. Comm’n Notice, 88 FR 46183 (July 19, 2023). PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 On July 27, 2023, Complainant responded to the Commission’s Notice by filing a submission on remedy, public interest, and bonding, seeking a limited exclusion order (‘‘LEO’’) against the Respondents and a bond in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of entered value. No other submissions were filed. When the conditions in section 337(g)(1)(A)–(g)(1)(E) (19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1)(A)–(g)(1)(E)) have been satisfied, section 337(g)(1) and Commission Rule 210.16(c) (19 CFR 210.16(c)) direct the Commission, upon request, to issue a limited exclusion order or a cease and desist order or both against a respondent found in default, based on the allegations regarding a violation of section 337 in the Complaint, which are presumed to be true, unless after consideration of the public interest factors in section 337(g)(1), it finds that such relief should not issue. Having examined the record in this investigation, the Commission has determined pursuant to section 337(g)(1) and Commission Rule 210.16(c) to issue an LEO prohibiting the unlicensed entry of certain universal golf club shaft and golf club head connection adapters, certain components thereof, and products containing the same that infringe one or more of claims 1, 2–5, 10, 12–13, 15, and 16–19 of the ’638 patent that are manufactured abroad by, or on behalf of, or imported by or on behalf of the Respondents. The Commission has determined that the public interest factors enumerated in section 337(g)(1) do not preclude the issuance of the LEO. The Commission has further determined that the bond during the period of Presidential review pursuant to section 337(j) (19 U.S.C. 1337(j)) shall be set in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the entered value of the imported articles that are subject to the LEO.1 The investigation is hereby terminated. 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 1 Commissioner Schmidtlein finds that section 337 does not authorize respondents subject to remedial relief under subsection 337(g)(1) to import infringing products under bond during the Presidential review period for the reasons explained in Certain Centrifuge Utility Platform and Falling Film Evaporator Systems and Components Thereof, Inv.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 8, 2023, the Commission instituted 
this investigation based on a complaint filed by Club-Conex LLC of 
Scottsdale, Arizona (``Complainant''). 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 (``the '638 patent''). 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.
    None of the Respondents answered the complaint and notice of 
investigation or appeared in the investigation, and on April 6, 2023, 
Complainant moved for an order directing Respondents to show cause as 
to why they should not be found in default. Complainant stated in its 
motion that it does not seek a general exclusion order. Mot. at 6 n.5. 
On April 25, 2023, the ALJ issued Order No. 6, directing Respondents to 
show cause, no later than May 10, 2023, as to why they should not be 
found in default. Order No. 6 at 2 (Apr. 25, 2023). No response to the 
show cause order was filed.
    On May 17, 2023, the ALJ issued Order No. 7, finding Respondents in 
default pursuant to 19 CFR 210.16. The Commission determined not to 
review Order No. 7 on July 13, 2023, and issued a notice requesting 
submissions on remedy, public interest, and bonding. Comm'n Notice, 88 
FR 46183 (July 19, 2023).
    On July 27, 2023, Complainant responded to the Commission's Notice 
by filing a submission on remedy, public interest, and bonding, seeking 
a limited exclusion order (``LEO'') against the Respondents and a bond 
in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of entered value. No other 
submissions were filed.
    When the conditions in section 337(g)(1)(A)-(g)(1)(E) (19 U.S.C. 
1337(g)(1)(A)-(g)(1)(E)) have been satisfied, section 337(g)(1) and 
Commission Rule 210.16(c) (19 CFR 210.16(c)) direct the Commission, 
upon request, to issue a limited exclusion order or a cease and desist 
order or both against a respondent found in default, based on the 
allegations regarding a violation of section 337 in the Complaint, 
which are presumed to be true, unless after consideration of the public 
interest factors in section 337(g)(1), it finds that such relief should 
not issue.
    Having examined the record in this investigation, the Commission 
has determined pursuant to section 337(g)(1) and Commission Rule 
210.16(c) to issue an LEO prohibiting the unlicensed entry of certain 
universal golf club shaft and golf club head connection adapters, 
certain components thereof, and products containing the same that 
infringe one or more of claims 1, 2-5, 10, 12-13, 15, and 16-19 of the 
'638 patent that are manufactured abroad by, or on behalf of, or 
imported by or on behalf of the Respondents. The Commission has 
determined that the public interest factors enumerated in section 
337(g)(1) do not preclude the issuance of the LEO. The Commission has 
further determined that the bond during the period of Presidential 
review pursuant to section 337(j) (19 U.S.C. 1337(j)) shall be set in 
the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the entered value of the 
imported articles that are subject to the LEO.\1\ The investigation is 
hereby terminated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Commissioner Schmidtlein finds that section 337 does not 
authorize respondents subject to remedial relief under subsection 
337(g)(1) to import infringing products under bond during the 
Presidential review period for the reasons explained in Certain 
Centrifuge Utility Platform and Falling Film Evaporator Systems and 
Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-1311, Comm'n Notice at 5, n.5 
(March 23, 2023). She therefore would not permit the Respondents to 
import infringing products under bond during the Presidential review 
period.
