SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted Inv. No. 337-TA-

and Manuals Therefor under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended, 19 U.S.C. Sec.  1337 (``section 337''), on June 24, 2016, 
based on a complaint filed by Segway, Inc. of Bedford, New Hampshire; 
DEKA Products Limited Partnership of Manchester, New Hampshire; and 
Ninebot (Tianjin) Technology Co., Ltd. of Tianjin, China (collectively, 
``Complainants''). 81 Fed. Reg. 41342-43 (Jun. 24, 2016). The complaint 
alleges a violation of section 337 by reason of infringement of certain 
claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,302,230; 6,651,763 (``the '763 patent''); 
7,023,330 (``the '330 patent''); 7,275,607; 7,479,872 (``the '872 
patent''); and 9,188,984 (``the '984 patent''); and U.S. Trademark 
Registration Nos. 2,727,948 and 2,769,942. The complaint named numerous 
respondents. The Commission's Office of Unfair Import Investigations 
(``OUII'') was named as a party.
    On September 21, 2016, the Commission instituted Inv. No. 337-TA-
1021, Certain Personal Transporters and Components Thereof, based on a 
complaint filed by the same Complainants. 81 Fed. Reg. 64936-37 (Sept.

of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,302,230 and 
7,275,607. The complaint named numerous respondents. OUII was also

to ALJ Shaw, the presiding ALJ in Investigation No. 337-TA-1007, and 
directed him to consolidate these investigations. See id. at 64937.

investigation to assert the '763, '330, and '872 patents against 
respondent Jetson Electric Bikes LLC, and to terminate all asserted 
claims of the '984 patent as to all respondents. No party petitioned 
for review of the subject ID, and the Commission has determined not to 
review it.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. Sec.  
1337), and in Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (19 CFR part 210).
