SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on April 17, 2024, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Ouraring,
Inc. of San Francisco, California, and [Omacr]ura Health Oy of Finland
(collectively, ``Quraring,'' or ``Complainants''). 89 FR 27452-53 (Apr.
17, 2024). The complaint, as amended, 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 smart wearable devices, systems, and components thereof by
reason of the infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos.
11,868,178; 11,868,179; and 10,842,429. The Commission's notice of
investigation named as respondents Ultrahuman Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. of
Karnataka, India; Ultrahuman Healthcare SP LLC of Abu Dhabi, UAE;
Ultrahuman Healthcare Ltd. of London, United Kingdom; Guangdong Jiu Zhi
Technology Co. Ltd. of Guangdong, China; RingConn LLC of Wilmington,
Delaware; and Circular SAS of Paris, France. The Office of Unfair
Import Investigations (``OUII'') is also a party in this investigation.
On April 26, 2024, Quraring moved to amend its first amended
complaint and the notice of investigation to change the name of
respondent Guangdong Jiu Zhi Technology Co. Ltd. to Shenzhen Ninenovo
Technology Limited because of a corporate name change. Motion Docket
No. 1398-004 (``Mot.'') at 1 (EDIS Doc. ID 819859). Quraring also moved
to amend the address for RingConn LLC. Id. The motion states that it is
unopposed by respondents RingConn, Circular SAS, Ultrahuman Healthcare
Pvt. Ltd., Ultrahuman Healthcare Ltd., and Ultrahuman Healthcare SP
LLC. Id. at 1-2. On May 1, 2024, OUII filed a response supporting the
motion. EDIS Doc. ID 820164.
On May 3, 2024, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 8) granting the
subject motion. The ID considered Quraring's statement that Ouraring
originally believed that Guangdong Jiu Zhi Technology Co. Ltd. was the
parent company of RingConn LLC based on publicly available information,
including RingConn's website. See ID at 2 (citing Mot. at 2). The ID
noted that RingConn notified Ouraring on April 19, 2024, that Guangdong
Jiu Zhi Technology Co. Ltd. had changed its name to Shenzhen Ninenovo
Technology Limited. Id. (citing Mot. at 2-3, and Mot. Ex. A). The ID
further noted that Ouraring states that on April 23, 2024, it learned
the complete address for RingConn LLC. Id. (citing Mot. at 2-3, and
Mot. Ex. B).
The ID found that Ouraring showed good cause to amend the complaint
and notice of investigation to change the name of respondent Guangdong
Jiu Zhi Technology Co. Ltd. to Shenzhen Ninenovo Technology Limited and
to update the address for respondent RingConn LLC. Id. The ID further
found that the above changes will not prejudice the rights of any
parties to the investigation and reflect current and correct
information. Id. No party petitioned for review of the ID.
The Commission has determined not to review the ID. The Commission
vote for this determination took place on June 4, 2024.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: June 4, 2024.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
