SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 22, 2025, the Commission
instituted this investigation based on a complaint filed by Modumetal,
Inc. of Snohomish, Washington (``Modumetal''). 90 FR 7704 (Jan. 22,
2025). The complaint alleged 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 importation of certain nanolaminate alloy
coated metal parts, components thereof, and products containing the
same by reason of the infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent
Nos. 10,253,419 and 11,242,613. Id. at 7704. The Commission instituted
the investigation as to certain nanolaminate alloy coated metal parts
and products containing the same. Id. at 7704 n.1. The Commission's
notice of investigation named the following respondents: Parker
Hannifin Corporation of Cleveland, Ohio and Lu Chu Shin Yee Works Co.,
Ltd. of Kaohsiung City, Taiwan (collectively, ``Respondents''). Id. at
7704. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is not a party to this
investigation. Id.
On May 28, 2025, the Commission amended the complaint and notice of
investigation to add seven new respondents: Jiangsu DVP Hi Press Tech
Co. of Jiangsu, China (``Jiangsu DVP Hi Press''); Kunshan Huizong
Machine Co. of Jiangsu, China (``Kunshan''); Maxort Philippines Inc. of
Laguna, Philippines; Paloma Turning Co. Pvt Ltd. of Karnataka, India;
Shaoxing Xuantong Fluid Connectors Manufacturing Co., Ltd. of Zhejiang,
China; Overseas International Group of Shanghai, China (``Overseas'');
and Zhejiang Unifull Industrial Fibre Co., Ltd. of Zhejiang, China
(``Zhejiang Unifull''). Order No. 13 at 1, 7 (May 8, 2025), unreviewed
by Notice (May 28, 2025).
On June 6, 2025, Modumetal filed an unopposed motion pursuant to
Commission Rule 210.14(b)(1) & (c), 19 CFR 210.14(b)(1) & (c), to:
amend the notice of investigation (``NOI'') to replace Zhejiang Unifull
with Zhejiang Fitting Machinery Co., Ltd., also of Zhejiang China;
correct the name of Jiangsu DVP Hi Press as Jiangsu DVP Hi Pressure
Technology Co., Ltd., also of Jiangsu, China; correct the name of
Overseas as Shanghai Overseas Enterprises Co., Ltd., also of Shanghai,
China; and remove reference in the NOI to Kunshan to conform to
evidence.
On June 10, 2025, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 18)
granting the motion. The ID finds that good cause exists to grant the
motion. ID at 5-6. The ID explains that the parties worked together to
ensure that each of the respondents had been identified correctly. Id.
at 2. Additionally, the ID notes that Kunshan should not be identified
as a respondent because it was omitted from the amended complaint and
was not served with the amended complaint. Id. at 4. Modumetal
represented that there are no agreements, written or oral, express or
implied, between itself and Kunshan concerning the subject matter of
the investigation. Id. at 5.
No petitions for Commission review of the ID were filed. The
Commission has determined not to review the ID.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on July 9,
2025.
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: July 10, 2025.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
