SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 13, 2022, the Commission 

instituted this investigation based on a 

complaint filed by Nike, Inc. of 

Beaverton, Oregon. 87 FR 2176–77 (Jan. 

13, 2022). The complaint alleged 

violations of section 337 of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended, based on the 

importation into the United States, the 

sale for importation, or the sale within 

the United States after importation of 

certain knitted footwear by reason of 

infringement of one or more claims of 

U.S. Patent Nos. 9,918,511; 9,743,705; 

8,266,749; 7,814,598; 9,060,562; and 

8,898,932. Id. The Commission’s notice 

of investigation named the following 

adidas entities as respondents: Adidas 

AG of Herzogenaurach, Germany; adidas 

North America, Inc. of Portland Oregon; 

and adidas America, Inc. also of 

Portland, Oregon. The Office of Unfair 

Import Investigations was not named as 

a party in this investigation. Id. 

On February 22, 2022, Nike moved 

under 19 CFR 210.14 to amend the 

Complaint and NOI to (1) add adidas 

International as a respondent; and (2) to 

add importation information for the 

accused products relating to HTS 

numbers and countries of origin. Nike 

argued that it did not know about the 

role of adidas International until the 

existing respondents filed their 

responses to the complaint and NOI and 

that adding adidas International ‘‘is 

necessary to provide a complete 

evidentiary record regarding the 

distribution, sale for importation, 

importation, and sale after importation 

of the Accused Products, among other 

issues.’’ ID at 2. Similarly, Nike argued 

that it did not know about the 

additional HTS numbers and countries 

of origin until receiving responses to the 

complaint and NOI. Nike stated that the 

named adidas respondents do not 

oppose the motion. Id. at 1. 

On March 7, 2022, the ALJ issued the 

subject ID, granting the motion. The ID 

found that good cause exists to grant the 

motion to add adidas International as a 

respondent and add information 

regarding HTS numbers of the imported 

accused products and their countries of 

origin. Id. at 3–4. No one petitioned for 

review of the subject ID. 

The Commission has determined not 

to review the subject ID. adidas 

International is added to the 

investigation as a respondent. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on March 21, 

2022. 

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). 

By order of the Commission.

four types of documents: Prehearing 

briefs, oral hearing statements, posthearing briefs, and other written 

submissions. 

(1) Prehearing briefs refers to written 

materials relevant to the investigation 

and submitted in advance of the 

hearing, and includes written views on 

matters that are the subject of the 

investigation, supporting materials, and 

any other written materials that you 

consider will help the Commission in 

understanding your views. You should 

file a prehearing brief particularly if you

organization, and wish to provide 

detailed views or information that will 

support or supplement your testimony. 

(2) Oral hearing statements 

(testimony) refers to the actual oral 

statement that you intend to present at 

the public hearing. Do not include any 

confidential business information in 

that statement. If you plan to testify, you 

must file a copy of your oral statement

(3) Post-hearing briefs refers to

of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR

its cover (1) the investigation number 

and title and the type of document filed 

(i.e., prehearing brief, oral statement of

submission), (2) the name and signature 

of the person filing it, (3) the name of 

the organization that the submission is 

filed on behalf of, and (4) whether it 

contains confidential business 

information (CBI). If it contains CBI, it 

must comply with the marking and 

other requirements set out below in this 

notice relating to CBI. Submitters of 

written documents (other than oral 

hearing statements) are encouraged to 

include a short summary of their 

position or interest at the beginning of 

the document, and a table of contents 

when the document addresses multiple 

issues. 

Confidential business information: 

Any submissions that contain 

confidential business information must 

also conform to the requirements of 

section 201.6 of the Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR

be made available for inspection by 

interested parties.

personnel, and operations of the 

Commission including under 5 U.S.C. 

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

employees and contract personnel for 

cybersecurity purposes. The 

Commission will not otherwise disclose 

any confidential business information in 

a way that would reveal the operations 

of the firm supplying the information. 

Summaries of written submissions: 

Persons wishing to have a summary of 

their position included in the report 

should include a summary with their 

written submission on or before June 23, 

2022, and should mark the summary as

and should not include any confidential 

business information. The summary will 

be published as provided if it meets 

these requirements and is germane to 

the subject matter of the investigation.
