amended, alleges 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 touch-
controlled mobile devices, computers, and components thereof by reason
of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,432,173;
8,791,910; 9,024,790; and 9,372,580. Id. The amended complaint further
alleges that an industry in the United States exists as required by
section 337. Id. The notice of investigation named as respondents
Amazon.com, Inc. of Seattle, Washington; Dell Technologies Inc. of
Round Rock, Texas; HP Inc. of Palo Alto, California; Lenovo Group Ltd.
of Beijing, China; Lenovo (United States) Inc. of Morrisville, North
Carolina; Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Washington; Motorola
Mobility LLC of Chicago, Illinois; Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. of
Suwon, South Korea; and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. of Ridgefield
Park, New Jersey. Id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations was
not named as a party to the investigation. Id.
On September 23, 2019, Neodron filed an unopposed motion seeking
leave to amend the complaint and notice of investigation to substitute
new respondents Dell Inc. and Dell Products LP, both of Round Rock,
Texas, for original respondent Dell Technologies Inc.
On September 25, 2019, the ALJ issued Order No. 12, the subject ID,
which grants the motion. The ID finds that Neodron's motion complies
with 19 CFR 210.14(b)(1) and that granting the motion will not
prejudice the public interest or the rights of the parties. No
petitions for review were filed.
