`SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a complaint was filed with the U.S. International
`Trade Commission on July 10, 2020, under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended,
`on behalf of Juul Labs, Inc. of San Francisco, California. Supplements to the complaint were
`filed on July 21, 2020, and July 31, 2020. The complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of
`section 337 based upon the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the

`’D869 patent”); and U.S. Design Patent No. D858,868 (“the ’D868 patent”). The complaint
`further alleges that an industry in the United States exists as required by the applicable Federal
`Statute.
`
`The complainant requests that the Commission institute an investigation and, after the
`
`investigation, issue a general exclusion order, or in the alternative a limited exclusion order, and
`cease and desist orders.
