SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on November 21, 2019, based on a 

complaint, as amended, filed by M–I 

L.L.C. of Houston, Texas (‘‘M–I’’). 84 FR 

64339 (Nov. 21, 2019). The amended 

complaint alleged violations of section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the 

importation into the United States, the 

sale for importation, and the sale within 

the United States after importation of 

certain shaker screens for drilling fluids, 

components thereof, and related 

marketing materials by reason of 

infringement of: (1) Certain claims of 

U.S. Patent Nos. 7,210,582 (‘‘the ’582 

patent’’), 7,810,649 (‘‘the ’649 patent’’), 

and (‘‘the ’735 patent’’);; and (2) U.S. 

Trademark Registration Nos. 2,151,736 

and 2,744,891. Id. The Commission’s 

notice of investigation named six 

respondents, including Anping Shengjia 

Hardware Mesh Co., Ltd. (‘‘SJ Screen’’) 

and Hebei Hengying Wire Cloth Co. Ltd 

(‘‘Hengying Wire Cloth’’) (collectively 

the ‘‘Defaulting Respondents’’). Id. at 

64339–40. The Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) is participating 

in this investigation. Id. at 64340. 

On February 5, 2020, the Commission 

found SJ Screen and Hengying Wire 

Cloth in default. Order No. 10, 

unreviewed, Notice, EDIS Doc. ID 

704161 (Mar. 5, 2020). Thereafter, and 

after the termination of the other 

remaining respondents by consent 

order, see Order No. 8, unreviewed, 

Notice, EDIS Doc. ID 701736 (Feb. 6, 

2020); Order No. 14, unreviewed, 

Notice, EDIS Doc. ID 708798 (Apr. 23, 

2020), M–I withdrew all of its 

trademark-based allegations, as well as 

claims 2–11 of the ’582 patent; claims 

2–7 and 9 of the ’649 patent; and claims 

2–9, 13, 16, and 18–19 of the ’735 patent 

from the investigation. See Order No. 

19, unreviewed, Notice, EDIS Doc. ID 

720447 (Sept. 24, 2020). 

On August 27, 2020, M–I filed a 

motion for summary determination that 

the Defaulting Respondents violated 

section 337 and that M–I satisfies the 

domestic industry requirement of 

section 337. The motion sought issuance 

of a general exclusion order (‘‘GEO’’) 

and imposition of a one hundred 

percent (100%) bond on accused 

products imported during the 

Presidential review period. On 

September 16, 2020, OUII filed a 

response supporting M–I’s motion, 

including the remedial relief requested 

therein. 

On November 19, 2020, the ALJ 

issued the subject ID granting M–I’s 

motion and recommending issuance of 

a GEO and imposition of a bond in the 

amount of 100 percent of the entered 

value of infringing products. 

Specifically, the ID found that (1) the 

Commission has jurisdiction over the 

products, the parties, and the 

investigation; (2) the importation 

requirement is satisfied; (3) M–I has 

standing to bring this investigation; (4) 

all of the remaining asserted claims are 

infringed by one or more of the 

Defaulting Respondents’ products; and 

(5) M–I has satisfied the domestic 

industry requirement of section 337. 

Additionally, the ALJ recommended 

that the Commission issue a GEO and 

impose a bond in the amount of one 

hundred percent (100%) of the entered 

value of infringing articles imported 

during the period of Presidential review. 

The Commission has determined to 

review the ID’s finding that M–I’s 

investments in plant and equipment and 

M–I’s employment of labor and capital 

are significant under section 

337(a)(3)(A) and (B). The Commission 

has determined not to review the 

remainder of the ID. 

In connection with the final 

disposition of this investigation, the 

statute authorizes issuance of, inter alia, 

(1) an exclusion order that could result 

in the exclusion of the subject articles 

from entry into the United States and/ 

or (2) cease and desist orders that could 

result in the respondents being required 

to cease and desist from engaging in 

unfair acts in the importation and sale 

of such articles. Accordingly, the 

Commission is interested in receiving 

written submissions that address the 

form of remedy, if any, that should be 

ordered. If a party seeks exclusion of an 

article from entry into the United States 

for purposes other than entry for 

consumption, the party should so 

indicate and provide information 

establishing that activities involving 


tkelley on DSKBCP9HB2PROD with NOTICES
1524 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 5 / Friday, January 8, 2021 / Notices 

other types of entry either are adversely 

affecting it or likely to do so. For 

background, see Certain Devices for 

Connecting Computers via Telephone 

Lines, Inv. No. 337–TA–360, USITC 

Pub. No. 2843, Comm’n Op. at 7–10 

(Dec. 1994). 

The statute requires the Commission 

to consider the effects of that remedy 

upon the public interest. The public 

interest factors the Commission will 

consider include the effect that an 

exclusion order would have on: (1) The 

public health and welfare, (2) 

competitive conditions in the U.S. 

economy, (3) U.S. production of articles 

that are like or directly competitive with 

those that are subject to investigation, 

and (4) U.S. consumers. The 

Commission is therefore interested in 

receiving written submissions that 

address the aforementioned public 

interest factors in the context of this 

investigation. 

If the Commission orders some form 

of remedy, the U.S. Trade 

Representative, as delegated by the 

President, has 60 days to approve, 

disapprove, or take no action on the 

Commission’s determination. See 

Presidential Memorandum of July 21, 

2005, 70 FR 43251 (July 26, 2005). 

During this period, the subject articles 

would be entitled to enter the United 

States under bond, in an amount 

determined by the Commission and 

prescribed by the Secretary of the 

Treasury. The Commission is therefore 

interested in receiving submissions 

concerning the amount of the bond that 

should be imposed if a remedy is 

ordered. 

Written Submissions: Parties to the 

investigation, interested government 

agencies, and any other interested 

parties are encouraged to file written 

submissions on the issues of remedy, 

the public interest, and bonding. Such 

submissions should address the 

recommended determination by the ALJ 

on remedy and bonding. 

In its initial submission, Complainant 

is also requested to identify the remedy 

sought and Complainant and OUII are 

requested to submit proposed remedial 

orders for the Commission’s 

consideration. Complainant is further 

requested to state the dates that the 

Asserted Patents expire, the HTSUS 

subheadings under which the accused 

products are imported, and to supply 

the identification information for all 

known importers of the products at 

issue in this investigation. The initial 

written submissions and proposed 

remedial orders must be filed no later 

than close of business on January 19, 

2021. Reply submissions must be filed 

no later than the close of business on 

January 26, 2021. No further 

submissions on these issues will be 

permitted unless otherwise ordered by 

the Commission. 

Persons filing written submissions 

must file the original document 

electronically on or before the deadlines 

stated above. The Commission’s paper 

filing requirements in 19 CFR 210.4(f) 

are currently waived. 85 FR 15798 

(March 19, 2020). Submissions should 

refer to the investigation number (Inv. 

No. 337–TA–1184) in a prominent place 

on the cover page and/or the first page.

Procedures, https://www.usitc.gov/ 

documents/handbook_on_filing_

procedures.pdf). Persons with questions 

regarding filing should contact the 

Secretary, (202) 205–2000. 

Any person desiring to submit a 

document to the Commission in 

confidence must request confidential 

treatment. All such requests should be 

directed to the Secretary to the 

Commission and must include a full 

statement of the reasons why the 

Commission should grant such 

treatment. See 19 CFR 201.6. Documents 

for which confidential treatment by the 

Commission is properly sought will be 

treated accordingly. A redacted nonconfidential version of the document 

must also be filed simultaneously with 

any confidential filing. All information, 

including confidential business 

information and documents for which 

confidential treatment is properly 

sought, submitted to the Commission for 

purposes of this investigation may be 

disclosed to and used: (i) By the 

Commission, its employees and Offices, 

and contract personnel (a) for 

developing or maintaining the records 

of this or a related proceeding, or (b) in 

internal investigations, audits, reviews, 

and evaluations relating to the 

programs, personnel, and operations of 

the Commission including under 5 

U.S.C. Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. 

government employees and contract 

personnel, solely for cybersecurity 

purposes. All contract personnel will 

sign appropriate nondisclosure 

agreements. All nonconfidential written 

submissions will be available for public 

inspection on EDIS. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on January 4, 

2021. 

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).
