filed on behalf of Nano Fire LLC and 

Defender Safety, LLC, both of Plainview, 

New York (collectively, 

‘‘Complainants’’). 89 FR 22454 (Apr. 1, 

2024). The complaint, as supplemented, 

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, 

or the sale within the United States after 

importation of certain aerosol fire 

extinguishing technology, components 

thereof, and products containing same 

by reason of the infringement of certain 

claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,865,014 and

alleged that an industry in the United 

States exists as required by the

On July 15, 2024, Complainants filed

entirety.

determination took place on September
