AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined not to review an initial determination 
(``ID'') (Order No. 18) of the presiding Administrative Law Judge 
(``ALJ'') granting an unopposed motion to amend the complaint and 
notice of investigation to add DET Logistics (USA) Corporation 
(``DET'') of Fremont, California, as a respondent.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 17, 2023, the Commission 
instituted this investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (``section 337''), based on a 
complaint filed by Vicor Corporation of Andover, Massachusetts. See 88 
FR 56050-51 (Aug. 17, 2023). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges a 
violation of 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 power converter modules and computing 
systems containing the same by reason of the infringement of certain 
claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,166,481; 9,516,761; and 10,199,950. See 
id. The notice of investigation names the following respondents: Delta 
Electronics, Inc. of Taipei, Taiwan; Delta Electronics (Americas) Ltd. 
of Fremont, California; Delta Electronics (USA) Inc. of Plano, Texas; 
Cyntec Co., Ltd. of Hsinchu, Taiwan; Quanta Computer Inc. and Quanta 
Cloud Technology Inc., both of Taoyuan City, Taiwan; Quanta Cloud 
Technology USA LLC of San Jose, California; Quanta Computer USA Inc. of 
Fremont, California; Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd. (d/b/a, 
Foxconn Technology Group) of Taipei City, Taiwan; Foxconn Industrial 
internet Co. Ltd. of Shenzhen, China; FII USA Inc. (a/k/a Foxconn 
Industrial, internet USA Inc.) of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Ingrasys 
Technology Inc. of Taoyuan City, Taiwan; and Ingrasys Technology USA 
Inc. of Fremont, California. See id. The Office of Unfair Import 
Investigations is also a party to the investigation. See id.
    On December 21, 2023, Complainant filed an unopposed motion to 
amend the complaint and notice of investigation to add DET as a 
respondent. No response to the motion was received.
    On January 2, 2024, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 18) 
granting the motion. The ID finds that, under Commission Rule 
210.14(b), 19 CFR 210.14(b), ``good cause exists to allow the proposed 
amendment'' because ``Vicor was able to identify DET's role in the 
supply chain . . . only after having received confidential information 
from the Delta Respondents during discovery.'' See ID at 2. In 
addition, the ID finds that ``[t]he proposed amendment . . . will not 
prejudice the public interest or the rights of the parties to this 
investigation.'' See id.
    No petition for review of the subject ID was filed.

    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The 
complaint and notice of investigation are amended to add DET as a 
respondent.
    The Commission vote for this determination took place on January 
26, 2024.
    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: January 29, 2024.
