The
Commission instituted this investigation
on April 17, 2024, based on a complaint
filed on behalf of Ouraring, Inc. of San
Francisco, California, and Ōura Health
Oy of Finland (collectively, ‘‘Quraring,’’
or ‘‘Complainants’’). 89 FR 27452–53
(Apr. 17, 2024). The complaint, as
amended, alleges violations of section

United States, the sale for importation,
and the sale within the United States
after importation of certain smart
wearable devices, systems, and
components thereof by reason of the
infringement of certain claims of U.S.
Patent Nos. 11,868,178; 11,868,179; and

investigation named as respondents

Jkt 262001
On May 3, 2024, the ALJ issued an ID
(Order No. 8) granting the subject
motion. The ID considered Quraring’s
statement that Ouraring originally
believed that Guangdong Jiu Zhi
Technology Co. Ltd. was the parent
company of RingConn LLC based on
publicly available information,
including RingConn’s website. See ID at
2 (citing Mot. at 2). The ID noted that
RingConn notified Ouraring on April 19,
2024, that Guangdong Jiu Zhi
Technology Co. Ltd. had changed its
name to Shenzhen Ninenovo
Technology Limited. Id. (citing Mot. at
2–3, and Mot. Ex. A). The ID further
noted that Ouraring states that on April
23, 2024, it learned the complete
address for RingConn LLC. Id. (citing
Mot. at 2–3, and Mot. Ex. B).
The ID found that Ouraring showed
good cause to amend the complaint and
notice of investigation to change the
name of respondent Guangdong Jiu Zhi
Technology Co. Ltd. to Shenzhen
Ninenovo Technology Limited and to
update the address for respondent
RingConn LLC. Id. The ID further found
that the above changes will not
prejudice the rights of any parties to the
investigation and reflect current and
correct information. Id. No party
petitioned for review of the ID.
The Commission has determined not
to review the ID. The Commission vote
for this determination took place on
June 4, 2024.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: June 4, 2024.

of ceramic tile from India, provided for

also gives notice of the commencement
of the final phase of its investigations.

of the Act, or, if the preliminary
determinations are negative, upon
notice of affirmative final
determinations in those investigations
under §§ 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act.
Parties that filed entries of appearance
in the preliminary phase of the
investigations need not enter a separate
appearance for the final phase of the
investigations. Any other party may file
an entry of appearance for the final
phase of the investigations after
publication of the final phase notice of
scheduling. Industrial users, and, if the

at the retail level, representative
consumer organizations have the right
to appear as parties in Commission
antidumping and countervailing duty
investigations. The Secretary will
prepare a public service list containing
the names and addresses of all persons,
or their representatives, who are parties
to the investigations. As provided in
section 207.20 of the Commission’s
rules, the Director of the Office of

investigations to parties to the
investigations, placing copies on the
