Notice is hereby given that a complaint was filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission on May 4, 2015, under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. Sec. 1337, on behalf of Global Cash Access, Inc. of Las Vegas, Nevada. The complaint 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 automated teller machines and point of sale devices and associated software thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,081,792 (``the '792 patent''), and that an industry in the United States exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337. The complaint further 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 automated teller machines and point of sale devices and associated software thereof by reason of false advertising, the threat or effect of which is to destroy or substantially injure an industry in the United States. The complainant requests that the Commission institute an investigation and, after the investigation, issue a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders.
