SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
three individuals have been reasonably
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. The University of
North Dakota (UND) and Indiana
VerDate Sep<11>2014

University, Bloomington (IU) have no
record of any potentially hazardous
substances being used to treat the
human remains described in this notice.
Between June 25–August 1, 1948, as
part of the Missouri Valley Project of the
Smithsonian River Basin Surveys,
former UND faculty member Gordon W.
Hewes and a field team excavated two
or more mound groups in Barnes
County, ND from a site later designated
32BA1 and referred to as Baldhill
Mounds. In 1949, Hewes placed a
number of human remains and
associated funerary objects from 32BA1
on indefinite loan to IU through former
IU faculty member, Georg K. Neumann.
In March 2022, human remains from
32BA1 were found on UND’s campus in
the Department of Anthropology. Some
of the human remains detailed in this
notice from 32BA1 were found on IU’s
campus sometime between 2021 and
2022. Separately, human remains from
32BA1 were sent to the Smithsonian
National Museum of Natural History at
an unknown time by an unknown
individual or individuals. The human
remains were transported back to IU
from the Smithsonian in February 2024.
In November 2023, UND recalled the
loan, and in March 2024, UND faculty
transported the human remains from IU
to UND.
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
two individuals have been reasonably
identified, along with 51 associated
funerary objects, consisting of faunal
bones and faunal bone fragments. The
University of North Dakota (UND) and
Indiana University, Bloomington (IU)
have no record of any potentially
hazardous substances being used to treat
the human remains and associated
funerary objects described in this notice.
Henry Montgomery, former UND faculty
member and acting President,
conducted numerous excavations of
mounds in Ramsey County, ND and
Nelson County, ND in mid-August–
September 1887. Montgomery also
excavated two mounds within Grand
Forks County, ND, as well as mounds in
Walsh County, ND now with the
designation 32WA1 (Blasky or Fordville
Mounds). In 1949, Gordon W. Hewes,
former UND faculty, placed these
human remains and associated funerary
objects on indefinite loan to IU through
former IU faculty member, Georg K.
Neumann. The human remains and
associated funerary objects detailed in
this notice were found on IU’s campus
sometime between 2021 and 2022. In
November 2023, UND recalled the loan,
and in March 2024, UND faculty
transported the human remains and

Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is reasonably identified by the
geographical location of the human
remains described in this notice.
Determinations
The University of North Dakota has
determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of five individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• The 51 objects described in this
notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed intentionally with or near
individual human remains at the time of
death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the human remains described
in this notice and the Northern
Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern
Cheyenne Indian Reservation, Montana;
Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake
Traverse Reservation, South Dakota;
Spirit Lake Tribe, North Dakota;
Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North &
South Dakota; Three Affiliated Tribes of
the Fort Berthold Reservation, North
Dakota; and the Turtle Mountain Band
of Chippewa Indians of North Dakota.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the
authorized representative identified in
this notice under ADDRESSES. Requests
for repatriation may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian
Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice.
2. Any lineal descendant, Indian
Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization
not identified in this notice who shows,
by a preponderance of the evidence, that
the requestor is a lineal descendant or
a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization.
Repatriation of the human remains
and associated funerary objects in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or
after September 19, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the University of North Dakota must
determine the most appropriate
requestor prior to repatriation. Requests
for joint repatriation of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
are considered a single request and not
competing requests. The University of
North Dakota is responsible for sending
a copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on March 2, 2021, based on a complaint
filed on behalf of iRobot Corporation
(‘‘iRobot’’ or ‘‘Complainant’’) of
Bedford, Massachusetts. See 86 FR
12206–07 (Mar. 2, 2021). The complaint
alleged violations of section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19
U.S.C. 1337 (‘‘section 337’’), based upon
the importation into the United States,
the sale for importation, and the sale
within the United States after
importation of certain robotic floor
cleaning devices and components
thereof based on the infringement of
certain claims of the ’517 patent; as well
as U.S. Patent Nos. 9,884,423 (‘‘the ’423
patent’’); 7,571,511 (‘‘the ’511 patent’’);
10,835,096 (‘‘the ’096 patent’’); and
10,296,007 (‘‘the ’007 patent’’). See id.
The Commission’s notice of
investigation named as respondents
SharkNinja Operating LLC, SharkNinja
Management LLC, SharkNinja
Management Co., SharkNinja Sales Co.,
and EP Midco LLC, all of Needham,
Massachusetts; and SharkNinja Hong
Kong Co. Ltd. of Hong Kong Island,
Hong Kong (collectively, ‘‘SharkNinja’’
or ‘‘Respondents’’). See id. The Office of
Unfair Import Investigations did not
participate in the investigation. See id.
The Commission terminated the ’007
patent from the investigation. See Order
No. 23 (Sept. 13, 2021), unreviewed by
Comm’n Notice (Oct. 5, 2021); Order
No. 38 (Jan. 4, 2022), unreviewed by
Comm’n Notice (Jan. 25, 2022).
On March 21, 2023, the Commission
issued a final determination finding a
violation of section 337 based on the
infringement of claims 1 and 9 of the
’517 patent. The Commission found no
violation of section 337 based on the
’423, ’511, and ’096 patents.
Accordingly, the Commission issued the
remedial orders based solely on the ’517
patent.
On July 14, 2023, SharkNinja filed an
appeal from the Commission’s final
determination with the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The
appeal was docketed on July 20, 2023,
as SharkNinja Operating LLC v. ITC, No.
23–2162 (Fed. Cir. July 20, 2023).
Complainant iRobot did not seek to
intervene in the Federal Circuit appeal.
On February 21, 2024, the
Commission and SharkNinja filed a
joint unopposed motion to stay and
PO 00000
Frm 00087
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

dismiss the appeal upon expiration of
the ’517 patent on July 24, 2024.
Consistent with Federal Circuit
precedent, the Commission and
SharkNinja requested vacatur of the
Commission’s final determination as it
relates to the ’517 patent and a remand
to the Commission with instructions to
dismiss the relevant portion of the
complaint and to rescind the remedial
orders which are based solely on the
’517 patent.
The Federal Circuit granted the
motion to stay on March 22, 2024, and
dismissed the appeal on July 24, 2024.
See ECF No. 22 (Fed. Cir. Mar. 22,
2024); ECF No. 24 (Fed. Cir. July 24,
2024). The Federal Circuit remanded the
appeal to the Commission with
instructions to vacate its final
determination and to dismiss the
relevant portion of the complaint.
In view of the Federal Circuit’s
remand order and the expiration of the
’517 patent, the Commission has
determined to vacate the portion of its
final determination relating to the ’517
patent and to dismiss the related portion
of the complaint.
In addition, as explained in the
Commission Order issued concurrently
herewith, the Commission finds that the
conditions which led to the issuance of
the remedial orders no longer exist, and
therefore, a rescission of the remedial
orders is warranted under section 337(k)
(19 U.S.C. 1337(k)) and Commission
Rule 210.76(a) (19 CFR 210.76(a)).
Accordingly, the Commission has
determined to institute a rescission
proceeding and to rescind the remedial
orders issued in the underlying
investigation which are based on the
’517 patent. The rescission proceeding
is terminated.
The Commission’s notice and order
were delivered to the Secretary of the
Treasury on the day of their issuance.
The Commission’s vote for this
determination took place on August 14,
2024.
The authority for the Commission’s
determination is contained in section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in Part
210 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part
210).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: August 14, 2024.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
