AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined not to review an initial determination 
(``ID'') (Order No. 12) of the presiding administrative law judge 
(``ALJ'') granting an unopposed motion to amend the complaint and 
notice of investigation to add University Health Network (``UHN'') as a 
co-complainant.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on February 2, 2026, based on a complaint filed by MolecuLight Inc. of 
Toronto, Ontario, Canada and MolecuLight Corp. of Pittsburgh, 
Pennsylvania (collectively, ``Complainants''). 91 FR 4629-30 (Feb. 2, 
2026). The complaint, as supplemented, 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 importation of certain medical 
imaging devices by reason of the infringement of certain claims of U.S. 
Patent No. 10,438,356 (``the `356 patent''). Id. at 4629. The complaint 
further alleges that a domestic industry exists. Id. The notice of 
investigation names two respondents: (1) Kent Imaging Inc. of Calgary, 
Alberta, Canada; and (2) Adiuvo Diagnostics Pvt. Ltd. of Chennai, India 
(collectively, ``Respondents''). Id. The Office of Unfair Import 
Investigations (``OUII'') is also named as a party to this 
investigation. Id.
    On May 8, 2026, Complainants filed a motion seeking leave to amend 
the complaint and notice of investigation to add the owner of the `356 
patent, UHN, as a co-complainant in this investigation. Complainants' 
motion certified that neither Respondents nor OUII oppose the motion.
    On May 11, 2026, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 12) 
granting Complainants' unopposed motion. The ID finds that 
Complainants' motion complies with Commission Rule 210.14(b), 19 CFR 
210.14(b), and also finds that Complainants showed good cause to amend 
the complaint to add UHN as a co-complainant because ``joinder would 
moot Respondents' pending motion for summary determination asserting 
that UHN is an indispensable party . . . and streamline discovery by 
avoiding international judicial process.'' ID at 2. Complainants filed 
an amended complaint naming UHN as a co-complainant on May 12, 2026. No 
party filed a petition for review of the ID.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. 
Accordingly, the complaint and notice of investigation are amended to 
include UHN as a co-complainant.
    The Commission vote for this determination took place on May 22, 
2026.
    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.
