`
`ORDERING COMPLAINANT TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THE
`
`INVESTIGATION SHOULD PROCEED
`
`(October 30, 2018)
`
`On October 5, 2018, Complainant J.S.T. Corporation (“JST”) submitted its pre-trial brief.
`
`In this brief, JST alleges that the Accused Products are “Bosch’s Global A Body Control
`
`Modules (“BCM”), which includes at least part numbers 13594564 and 13594587,” which
`
`incorporate “either a Foxconn 183-Way [BCM] header connector (‘Header’) (Foxconn Part No.
`
`3CC7I38-8801-6F; Bosch Part Nos. 6002JE0900, 6002JE1055, and 6002JE1289) or a TB
`
`Connectivity (“TEC’) 183—Way BCM Header (Bosch Part No. 6002JE1235).” (CPB at 10.) In
`
`their pre-hearing brief, Respondents Robert Bosch GmbH, Bosch Automotive Products (Suzhou)
`
`Co., Ltd, Robert Bosch LLC, Robert Bosch, Sistemas Automotrices, SA. de C.V., Robert Bosch
`
`Ltda. (collectively, “‘Respondents”) assert that they “are no longer marking or importing the
`
`Original Design .
`
`(RPHB at 3.) Instead, Respondents assert that they are making and importing
`
`39
`
`only a re-designed product. (161.)
`
`JST asserts that the re—designed product should not be part of this Investigation. (See,
`
`e. g., CPHB at 15 (“JST contends that any part having this so-called ‘redesigned’ tine plate is not
`
`part of this investigation.”).) If the undersigned were to agree with JST, then it is unclear why
`
`1 Respondents do not specifically state which parts numbers correspond to the “Original Design,” but it appears that
`Respondents have stopped importing all products accused of infringement by JST in this Investigation.
`
`
`
`this Investigation should proceed. The remedy that JST seeks — a limited exclusion order — would
`
`be unnecessary if Respondents are no longer importing the accused products into the United
`
`States.2
`
`Accordingly, IST is ordered to show cause no later than noon on November 2, 2018 why
`
`this Investigation should proceed.
`
`Within seven days of the date of this document, the paities shall submit to the Office of
`
`the Administrative Law Judges a joint statement as to whether or not they seek to have any
`
`portion of this document deleted from the public version. If the parties do seek to have p01tions
`
`of this document deleted from the public version, they must submit to this office a copy of this
`
`document with red brackets indicating the portion or portions asserted to contain confidential
`
`business information. 'The submission may be made by email and/or hard copy by the
`
`aforementioned date and need not be filed with the Commission Secretary.
`
`SO ORDERED.
