SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on January 19, 2011, based on a 

complaint filed by Remy International, 

Inc. and Remy Technologies, L.L.C. 

(collectively, ‘‘Remy’’), both of 

Pendleton, Indiana. 76 FR 3158 (Jan. 19, 

2011). The complaint alleged violations 

of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 

(19 U.S.C. 1337), in the importation into 

the United States, the sale for 

importation, and the sale within the 

United States of certain starter motors 

and alternators by reason of 

infringement of certain claims of U.S. 

Patent Nos. 5,105,114 (‘‘the ‘114 

patent’’); 5,252,878; 5,268,605 (‘‘the ’605 

patent’’); 5,295,404; 5,307,700; 

5,315,195 (‘‘the ’195 patent’’); and 

5,453,648 (‘‘the ’648 patent’’). The 

notice of investigation, as amended, 

named ten respondents including AAP. 

The complaint and notice of 

investigation were served on AAP on 

January 13, 2011. AAP failed to respond 

to the complaint and notice of 

investigation. The ’114 patent was 

terminated from the investigation based 

on partial withdrawal by Remy, and all 

other respondents have been terminated 

from the investigation based on either a 

consent order or a settlement agreement. 

Claims 1 and 4 of the ’605 patent, claims 

1–6 of the ’195 patent, and claims 1, 5, 

and 10 of the ’648 patent were asserted 

against AAP. 

The presiding administrative law 

judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued an initial 

determination (‘‘ID’’) on December 22, 

2011, finding AAP in default, pursuant 

to 19 CFR 210.13 and 210.16, because 

respondent did not respond to the 

complaint and notice of investigation, or 

to the ALJ’s December 13, 2011 order to 

show cause. On January 14, 2012, the 

Commission issued notice of its 

determination not to review the ID 

finding AAP in default. 

On February 9, 2012, the Commission 

issued a Notice that requested briefing 

from interested parties on remedy, the 

public interest, and bonding with 

respect to respondent AAP found in 

default. 77 FR 8898–00 (Feb. 15, 2012). 

Both Remy and the Commission 

investigative attorney (‘‘IA’’) submitted 

briefing on remedy, the public interest, 

and bonding along with proposed orders 

on March 2, 2012. The IA also 

submitted a reply brief on March 9, 

2012, containing revised orders. 

The Commission found that the 

statutory requirements of section 

337(g)(1)(A)–(E) (19 U.S.C. 

1337(g)(1)(A)–(E)) were met with respect 

to the defaulting respondent. 

Accordingly, pursuant to section 

337(g)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1)) and 

Commission rule 210.16(c) (19 CFR 

210.16(c)), the Commission presumed 

the facts alleged in the complaint to be 

true. 

The Commission has determined that 

the appropriate form of relief is the 

following: (1) A limited exclusion order 

prohibiting the unlicensed entry of 

alternators that infringe one or more of 

claims 1 and 4 of the ‘605 patent, claims 

1–6 of the ‘195 patent, or claims 1, 5, 

and 10 of the ‘648 patent, which are 

manufactured abroad by or on behalf of, 

or are imported by or on behalf of, AAP, 

or any of its affiliated companies, 

parents, subsidiaries, licensees, 

contractors, or other related business 

entities, or its successors or assigns; and 

(2) a cease and desist order prohibiting 

AAP from conducting any of the 

following activities in the United States: 

importing, selling, marketing, 

advertising, distributing, offering for 

sale, transferring (except for 

exportation), and soliciting U.S. agents 

or distributors for alternators that 

infringe one or more of claims 1 and 4 

of the ’605 patent, claims 1–6 of the ’195 

patent, or claims 1, 5, and 10 of the ’648 

patent. 

The Commission has further 

determined that the public interest 

factors enumerated in section 337(g)(1) 

(19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1)) do not preclude 

issuance of the limited exclusion order 

or the cease and desist order. Finally, 

the Commission has determined that a 

bond of 100 percent of the entered value 

of the covered products is required to 

permit temporary importation during 

the period of Presidential review (19 

U.S.C. 1337(j)). The Commission’s
