A letter supplementing the complaint was filed on October 29, 2014. The complaint alleges violations of section 337 based upon the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain windshield wipers and components thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,891,044 (“the '044 patent”) and U.S. Patent No. 7,937,798 (“the '798 patent”). The complaint further alleges that an industry in the United States exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337.
