Tschetter, Inc. of St. Paul, Minnesota 

(together, ‘‘Complainants’’). 85 FR

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 electronic

thereof by reason of infringement of 

certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 

8,550,660; 9,366,402; 9,512,971; 

9,523,471; and 10,533,718. Id. The

Of the twenty-two respondents, five 

were terminated based on consent 

orders, eight were terminated based on 

settlement agreements, three were 

terminated based on a voluntary 

withdrawal of the complaint due to an 

inability to serve, and one was 

terminated based on a summary 

determination of no importation. The 

Commission found the following five 

remaining respondents in default for 

failing to respond to the complaint and 

notice of investigation and for failing to 

show cause why they had not done so, 

or for failing to participate in discovery: 

Veraflame, Ningbo Mascube, Ningbo 

Shanhuang, Yiwu Shengda, and Virtual 

Candles (‘‘the Defaulting Respondents’’). 

On November 13, 2020, Complainants 

moved for a summary determination of 

violation as to the Defaulting 

Respondents and for a recommendation 

for the issuance of a general exclusion 

order. On December 4, 2020, OUII filed 

a response that questioned whether 

Complainants had satisfied the 

economic prong of the domestic 

industry requirement, but otherwise 

supported a finding of violation of 

section 337 and issuing a general

20460 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 67 / Thursday, April 7, 2022 / Notices 

exclusion order. On April 2, 2021, the 

ALJ issued an initial determination 

(‘‘ID’’), Order No. 41, granting 

Complainants’ motion for summary 

determination of violation by each of 

the five Defaulting Respondents. Order 

No. 41 (Apr. 2, 2021). 

On May 19, 2021, the Commission 

determined on its own motion to review 

the ID’s finding that Complainants 

satisfied the economic prong of the 

domestic industry requirement. 86 FR 

28143–46 (May 25, 2021). On August 

13, 2021, the Commission vacated the 

findings in the ID on the economic 

prong of the domestic industry 

requirement and remanded the 

investigation to the then Chief 

Administrative Law Judge (‘‘ALJ’’) for 

the issuance of a remand initial 

determination. 

On December 29, 2021, the then Chief 

ALJ issued the subject RID, finding that 

Complainants failed to establish the 

economic prong of the domestic 

industry requirement. On January 20, 

2022, Complainants filed a petition for 

review of the RID. On January 28, 2022, 

OUII filed a response to Complainants’ 

petition. 

Having examined the record of this 

investigation, including the RID, the 

petition for review, and the response 

thereto, the Commission has determined 

to review the RID in its entirety. 

The Commission does not request 

additional briefing from the parties. The 

target date is extended to June 6, 2022. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on April 1, 

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
