SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 9, 2024, the Commission
instituted this investigation based on a complaint filed by JBS Hair of
Atlanta, GA (``Complainant''). 89 FR 73123-24 (Sept. 9, 2024). The
complaint, as supplemented, alleged violations of section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (``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 pre-
stretched synthetic braiding hair and packaging therefor by reason of
the infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 10,786,026;
10,945,478 (``the '478 patent''); and 10,980,301 (``the '301 patent'').
Id. The complaint also alleged that a domestic industry exists. The
notice of investigation, as amended, named numerous respondents,
including Vivace. Id.; see also 89 FR 97068-69 (Dec. 6, 2024). The
Office of Unfair Import Investigations was also named as a party in the
investigation. Id. at 73124.
On February 24, 2025, the Commission found Vivace to be in default.
Order No. 31 (Feb. 4, 2025), unreviewed by Comm'n Notice (Feb. 24,
2025). On September 29, 2025, the Commission issued a limited exclusion
order and/or cease and desist orders (collectively, ``the remedial
orders'') against certain defaulting respondents, including Vivace,
pursuant to section 337(g)(1), 19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1). Comm'n Notice
(Sept. 29, 2025), 90 FR 47821-23 (Oct. 2, 2025).
On December 18, 2025, Complainant filed an enforcement complaint
against Vivace requesting that the Commission institute an enforcement
proceeding under Commission Rule 210.75 (19 CFR 210.75) to investigate
alleged violations by Vivace of the Commission's remedial orders.
On January 22, 2026, the Commission instituted an enforcement
proceeding under Commission Rule 210.75 against Vivace. Comm'n Notice
(Jan. 20, 2026), 91 FR 2799-800 (Jan. 22, 2026).
On May 1, 2026, Complainant filed an unopposed motion to amend the
complaint and notice of investigation to correct the name of Vivace
from ``Vivace, Inc. d/b/a Dae Do Inc.'' to ``Dae Do Inc. d/b/a
Vivace.'' See Order No. 51 at 1.
On May 7, 2026, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 51)
granting the unopposed motion pursuant to Commission Rule 210.14(b), 19
CFR 210.14(b). The ID finds good cause and no prejudice in granting the
motion. Order No. 51 at 1-2. No petition for review of the subject ID
was filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID (Order
No. 51).
The Commission's vote for this determination took place on June 8,
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).
