SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on December 6, 2022. 87 FR 74661 (Dec. 6, 2022). The complaint, as
supplemented, alleges 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 automated retractable vehicle steps and
components thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S.
Patent No. 9,272,667; U.S. Patent No. 9,527,449; U.S. Patent No.
9,511,717; and U.S. Patent No. 11,198,395. Id. The Commission's notice
of investigation named as respondents Anhui Aggeus Auto-Tech Co., Ltd.
(``Aggeus'') a/k/a Wuhu, Woden Auto Parts Co., Ltd. a/k/a Wuhu Wow-
good, Auto-Tech Co. Ltd. a/k/a Anhui Wollin International Co., Ltd. of

Import Investigations is participating in the investigation. Id.
On February 23, 2023, the ALJ issued the subject ID, which granted
Lund's unopposed motion to amend the complaint and notice of

explained that Wollin and Wow-good were previously identified as
aliases of respondent Aggeus and that Lund's motion is unopposed. No

The Commission vote for this determination took place on March 23,
2023.
