See Comm’n Notice (Nov. 7, 2023). On January 9, 2024, the Commission issued a notice of its determination to review the ID in part. See 89 FR 2645– 47 (Jan. 16, 2024). Specifically, the Commission determined to review the ID’s findings with respect to: (1) the Commission’s statutory authority to investigate unfair acts under section 337(a)(1)(A) involving extraterritorial conduct, including the alleged trade secret misappropriation and false advertising under the Lanham Act; (2) the ID’s findings of trade secret misappropriation with respect to the Product Development Research Trade Secret and Product Manufacturing Trade Secret; and (3) all of the ID’s findings with respect to domestic industry (i.e., the existence of a domestic industry and injury to the domestic industry) (ID at 103–136). Id. at 2646. The Commission determined not to review the ID’s determinations with respect to the Product Materials Research Trade Secret and the false advertising claim. The Commission also requested additional briefing from the parties with respect to certain issues under review and requested submissions from the parties, interested government agencies, and any other interested parties on the issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding. Id. at 2646–47. On January 23, 2024, Complainant Vego Garden, Respondents Green Giant and Utopban, and OUII each filed submissions in response to the Commission’s notice. On January 30, 2024, each of the parties filed reply submissions. On February 28, 2024, the Commission extended the target date for completion of this investigation to March 18, 2024. See Comm’n Notice (Mar. 12, 2024). On March 15, 2024, the Commission extended the target date for completion of this investigation to March 21, 2024. See Comm’n Notice (Mar. 15, 2024). Having examined the record in this investigation, including the ID, the RD, the petition for review and responses thereto, and the parties’ submissions on review, the Commission has determined to affirm-in-part and reverse-in-part the ID. Specifically, as explained in the Commission Opinion issued concurrently herewith, the Commission has determined to affirm with modifications the ID’s determination that the Commission has statutory VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:03 Mar 26, 2024 Jkt 262001 authority to investigate the alleged unfair methods of competition and unfair acts; reverse the ID’s determination that the Product Development Research Trade Secret was misappropriated; affirm with modifications the ID’s determination that the Product Manufacturing Trade Secret was misappropriated; and affirm with modifications the ID’s determination that the domestic industry requirement was satisfied. All findings in the ID that are not inconsistent with the Commission’s determination are affirmed and adopted by the Commission. Accordingly, the Commission finds that there is a violation of section 337 by Respondents Green Giant and Utopban with respect to misappropriation of Vego Garden’s Product Manufacturing Trade Secret; and by Utopban with respect to false advertising. The Commission has determined that the appropriate form of relief is an LEO and a CDO. The LEO prohibits (1) the unlicensed entry of raised metal garden beds that are manufactured using Vego Garden’s Product Manufacturing Trade Secret and are manufactured, imported, or sold by or on behalf of Green Giant and/or Utopban for a duration of one year; and (2) the unlicensed entry of raised metal garden beds that are falsely advertised using photographs of Vego Garden’s products that are imported or sold by or on behalf of Utopban. The CDO prohibits (1) the unlicensed importation, sale, and marketing in the United States by Utopban of raised metal garden beds that are manufactured using Vego Garden’s Product Manufacturing Trade Secret for a duration of one year; and (2) the unlicensed importation, sale, and marketing in the United States by Utopban of raised metal garden beds that are falsely advertised using photographs of Vego Garden’s products. The Commission has determined that the public interest factors enumerated in subsections (d)(1) and (f)(1) of section 337 do not preclude the issuance of the remedial orders. 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. The Commission’s remedial orders were delivered to the President and to the United States Trade Representative on the day of their issuance. The investigation is hereby terminated.
