[Investigation No. 337-TA-1440]


Certain Motorized Self-Balancing Vehicles; Notice of Institution 
of Investigation

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a complaint was filed with the 
U.S. International Trade Commission on January 3, 2025, under section 
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, on behalf of Razor USA LLC 
of Cerritos, California and Shane Chen of Camas, Washington. An amended 
complaint was filed on January 21, 2025. The complaint, as amended, 
alleges violations of 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 motorized self-balancing vehicles 
by reason of the infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 
RE46,964 (``the '964 patent''), U.S. Patent No. RE49,608 (``the '608 
patent''), and U.S. Patent No. D739,906 (``the '906 patent''). The 
complaint further alleges that an industry in the United States exists 
or is in the process of being established as required by the applicable 
Federal Statute. The complainants request that the Commission institute 
an investigation and, after the investigation, issue a limited 
exclusion order and cease and desist orders.

contained therein, may be viewed on the Commission's electronic docket
