`
`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
