Janxle E E Commerce Co., Ltd. of
Shenzhen, China; Shenzhen Smart
Medical Co. Ltd. of Shenzhen, China;
Sun Minghui of Shenzhen, China; Xia
Guo Long of Dongguan City, China; and
Yinping Yin of Shenzhen, China
(collectively, ‘‘the Unserved
Respondents’’); and (3) Express
Companies, Inc. of Oceanside,
California, and SZY Holdings LLC of
Brooklyn, New York (collectively, ‘‘the
Participating Respondents’’). Id. The
Office of Unfair Import Investigations
(‘‘OUII’’) is also a party to this
investigation.
The Commission terminated the
Participating Respondents based on the
entry of consent orders. See Order No.
7 (Aug. 9, 2023), unreviewed by Comm’n
Notice (Sept. 5, 2023); Order No. 13
(Oct. 3, 2023), unreviewed by Comm’n
Notice (Nov. 2, 2023). The Commission
also terminated the Unserved
Respondents based on the withdrawal of
the complaint as to those respondents.
See Order No. 10 (Aug. 22, 2023),
unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Sept.
20, 2023). The Commission also found
the Defaulting Respondents in default.
See Order No. 11 (Aug. 29, 2023),
unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Sept.
22, 2023).
On November 1, 2023, Complainants
filed a motion to partially terminate the
investigation with respect to the ’807
and ’203 patents. On November 2, 2023,
the ALJ issued Order No. 14 granting the
motion. Order No. 14 (Nov. 2, 2023),
unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Dec. 4,
2023). On January 23, 2024,
Complainants filed a motion to
terminate claims 2, 3, 5–14, and 17 of
the ’067 patent. On January 25, 2024,
the ALJ issued Order No. 19 granting the
motion. Order No. 19 (Jan. 25, 2024),
unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Feb. 15,
2024). Therefore, only claims 1, 4, 15,
and 16 of the ’067 patent remained
asserted.
On December 22, 2023, Complainants
filed a motion for summary
determination on violation of section
337 with regard to the ’067 patent,
asserted trademarks, and asserted trade
dress by the Defaulting Respondents. On
February 7, 2024, the ALJ issued Order
No. 20, granting the motion in part with
respect to the claims 1, 4, 15, and 16 of
the ’067 patent. Order No. 20 (Feb. 7,
2024), unreviewed by Comm’n Notice
(Mar. 6, 2024). Order No. 20 found that
(1) the importation requirement was
satisfied with respect to the Defaulting
Respondents with the exception of
Empire State Distributors Inc.; (2) the

accused products infringe claims 1, 4,
15, and 16 of the ’067 patent; (3) the
domestic industry products practice
claim 1 of the ’067 patent; and (4) the
economic prong of the domestic
industry was satisfied. Id. The
Commission determined not to review
the affirmative findings in Order No. 20.
See Comm’n Notice (Mar. 6, 2024).
On March 1, 2024, Complainants filed
a motion to terminate the investigation
in part based on a withdrawal of its
request for a GEO as to the trademark
and trade dress claims and to cancel the
evidentiary hearing. On March 19, 2024,
the ALJ granted the motion and issued
Order No. 23, which was styled as an
initial determination. The Commission
determined that the request to withdraw
a requested remedy is not properly the
subject of a motion for termination nor
an issue that must be decided in the
form of an initial determination.
Comm’n Notice at 3 (April 18, 2024).
Accordingly, the Commission treated
Order No. 23 as an order and not an
initial determination. Id.
Order No. 23 also included the ALJ’s
Recommended Determination (‘‘RD’’) on
remedy and bonding. Specifically, the
RD recommended that the Commission
issue a GEO as to claims 1, 4, 15, and
16 of the ’067 patent. RD at 9–12. The
RD further recommended issuing an
LEO as well as CDOs against each of the
Defaulting Respondents in connection
with the patent, trademark, and trade
dress claims. Id. at 13–15. Finally, the
RD recommended that the Commission
set the bond during the Presidential
review period at one hundred percent
(100%). Id. at 15–16.
The Commission issued a notice
soliciting comments regarding any
public interest concerns raised by the
recommend relief appeared in the
Federal Register on April 2, 2024. See
89 FR 22741 (Apr. 2, 2024).
Complainants filed a statement on
public interest pursuant to Commission
Rule 210.50(a)(4), 19 CFR 210.50(a)(4),
but no other comments were received in
response to the notice.
The Commission requested briefing
on remedy, bonding, and the public
interest. Comm’n Notice (Apr. 18, 2024);
89 FR 31214–6 (Apr. 24, 2024). On May
2, 2024, Complainants and OUII filed
opening submissions. On May 16, 2024,
Complainants and OUII filed responsive
submissions. No other party filed a
submission before the Commission.
Having reviewed the record of the
investigation, including the RD and the
parties’ submissions, the Commission
has determined that the appropriate
remedy is: (1) a GEO prohibiting the
unlicensed entry of blood flow
restriction devices with rotatable
PO 00000
Frm 00077
Fmt 4703

windlasses and components thereof that
infringe one or more of claims 1, 4, 15,
and/or 16 of the ’067 patent; (2) an LEO
prohibiting the unlicensed entry of
blood flow restriction devices with
rotatable windlasses and components
thereof that infringe the asserted
trademarks and/or the asserted trade
dress manufactured by or on behalf of,
or imported by or on behalf of any of the
Defaulting Respondents; and (3) CDOs
directed against Anping Longji Medical
Equipment Factory; Empire State
Distributors Inc.; Hengshui Runde
Medical Instruments Co., Ltd.; Putian
Dima Trading Co., Ltd.; Rhino Inc.;
Shenzhen Anben E-Commerce Co., Ltd.;
Shenzhen Yujie Commercial and
Trading Co., Ltd.; Wuxi Emsrun
Technology Co., Ltd.; and Wuxi Puneda
Technology Co., Ltd.
The Commission has further
determined that the public interest
factors enumerated in subsections (d)(l),
(f)(1), and (g)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(l),
(f)(1), (g)(1)) do not preclude issuance of
the above referenced remedial orders.
Additionally, the Commission has
determined to impose a bond of 100%
of entered value of the covered products
during the period of Presidential review
(19 U.S.C. 1337(j)).
This investigation is terminated.
The Commission vote for this
determination took place on September
30, 2024.
This action is taken under the
authority of 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: September 30, 2024.

Secretary to the Commission.
