SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on March 5, 2026, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Inventist,
Inc. of Camas, WA and Alien Technology Group, Inc. d/b/a Alien Rides.
of San Francisco, CA (collectively, ``Complainants''). 91 FR 10,827
(Mar. 5, 2026). The complaint, as amended, alleged 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, and
the sale within the United States after importation of certain gyro-
stabilized electric unicycles and components thereof and products
containing the same by reason of the infringement of certain claims of
U.S. Patent No. 8,807,250 and the claim of U.S. Patent No. D729,698.
Id. The complaint, as amended, further alleged that an industry in the
United States exists or is in the process of being established as
required by the applicable Federal Statute. Id. The Commission's notice
of investigation named the following respondents: Inmotion Technologies
Co., Ltd. d/b/a Inmotion (``Inmotion''); Guangzhou Veteran Intelligent
Technology Co., Ltd. d/b/a LeaperKim; Dong Guan BEGODE Intelligent
Technology Co., Ltd. d/b/a BEGODE; Shenzhen King Song Intelligence
Technology Co., Ltd. d/b/a Kingsong; Guangzhou JiDongTai Intelligent
Equipment Co., Ltd. d/b/a Nosfet, all of Guangdong, China. Id. The
Office of Unfair Import Investigations (``OUII'') was also named as a
party in this investigation. Id.
Respondent Inmotion has been terminated from the investigation
based on a settlement agreement. Order No. 11 (May 21, 2026),
unreviewed by Comm'n Notice (Jun. 18, 2026).
On August 7, 2026, Complainants filed a motion to amend the
complaint and notice of investigation to add LeaperKim Coyote as a
respondent pursuant to Commission Rule 210.14(b). OUII filed a response
in support of the motion.
On August 18, 2026, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 18),
granting the motion to amend the complaint and notice of investigation
to add LeaperKim Coyote as a respondent. The ID found Complainants
demonstrated good cause to grant the motion. Order No. 18 at 2 (Aug.
18, 2026). Specifically, the ID observed that good cause exists to
grant the motion because Complainants recently ``learned through
LeaperKim Coyote's former pro se representative [] that the originally
named LeaperKim respondent, Guangzhou Veteran Intelligent Technology
Co., Ltd. d/b/a LeaperKim [], is allegedly defunct, and that LeaperKim
Coyote is allegedly a separate legal entity that currently owns the
LeaperKim trademark.'' Id. (quoting Mot. at 1, Doc. ID No. 890866 (Aug.
7, 2026)). The ID noted that Complainants argued that ``[g]ranting the
requested amendment will not prejudice any party or the public
interest.'' Id. (quoting Mot. at 1). No petitions for review were
filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID.
Respondent LeaperKim Coyote is added as a respondent in this
investigation.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on September
15, 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.
Issued: September 16, 2026.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
