Commission (``the Commission'') has determined not to review an initial

Coates Visual LLC (``Coates Visual'') of Chicago, Illinois; and (2)
granting complainant's motion to amend the complaint and notice of
investigation (``NOI'') in the above-captioned investigation to add
respondent Coates US Inc. (``Coates US'') of Chicago, Illinois.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on September 23, 2022, based on a complaint filed on behalf of
Manufacturing Resources International, Inc. (``Complainant'') of
Alpharetta, Georgia. 87 FR 58132-33 (Sept. 23, 2022). The complaint
alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based upon the importation into the United
States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States
after
[[Page 69046]]
importation of certain outdoor and semi-outdoor electronic displays,
products containing same, and components thereof by reason of
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,854,595;
9,173,322; 9,629,287; 10,506,740; and 11,013,142. The complaint further
alleges that a domestic industry exists. The Commission's notice of
investigation named seven (7) respondents, including: Coates Visual;
Coates Signco Pty Limited of Sydney, Australia; Samsung Electronics
Co., Ltd. of Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea; Samsung SDS Co. Ltd. of
Seoul, Republic of Korea; Samsung SDS America and Samsung Electronics
America, Inc., both of Ridgefield Park, New Jersey; and Industrial
Enclosure Corporation d/b/a Palmer Digital Group of Aurora, Illinois.
The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is not participating in the
investigation.
On October 21, 2022, Complainant filed an unopposed motion: (1) to
terminate the investigation as to Coates Visual based on the withdrawal
of the allegations in the complaint as to this respondent; and (2) for
leave to amend the complaint and NOI to add respondent Coates US of
Chicago, Illinois to replace Coates Visual as the correctly named
respondent.
On October 24, 2022, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 6)
granting Complainant's motion for partial termination of the
investigation as to respondent Coates Visual and for leave to amend the
complaint and NOI to add respondent Coates US. The subject ID finds
that the motion for termination satisfies Commission Rule 210.21(a)(1),
19 CFR 210.21(a)(1). The subject ID also finds that Complainant has
shown good cause to amend the NOI pursuant to Commission Rule
210.14(b), 19 CFR 210.14(b), because Complainant ``did not learn the
identity of the [correct] respondent until after the institution of the
investigation.'' See Order No. 6 at 2. No party petitioned for review
of the subject ID.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID.
Respondent Coates Visual is terminated from the investigation and the
NOI is amended to add respondent Coates US.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on November
10, 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.
Issued: November 10, 2022.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
