SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This investigation was instituted on September 18, 2007, based on a complaint filed by Pass Seymour, Inc. ("Pass Seymour") of Syracuse, New York. The complaint, as supplemented, alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (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 ground fault interrupters and products containing the same by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos.: 5,594,398; RE38,293; 7,154,718; 7,164,564; 7,212,386; and 7,256,973. The complaint named 15 respondents.
On November 15, 2007, Pass Seymour filed a motion to amend the complaint and the notice of investigation (1) to remove respondent Lunar Industrial Electrical, Inc. from the investigation; (2) to add U.S. Patent 7,283,340 to the investigation; (3) to make changes relating to the names, addresses, and affiliations of certain respondents; and (4) to amend information relating to Harmonized Tariff Schedule item numbers. Respondent Wenzhou Trimone Science and Technology Electric Co. filed a response in opposition to the motion. The Commission investigative attorney did not oppose the motion.
On December 6, 2007, finding good cause to amend the complaint and notice of investigation, the ALJ granted the motion by ID. No petitions for review were filed. The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID.
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 sections 210.14 and 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.14, 210.42).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: January 4, 2008.
