`
`Re: Certain Cameras, Camera Systems, and Accessories Used Therewith
`
`Dear Secretary Barton:
`
`Enclosed for filing, please find documents in support of a request by GoPro, Inc.
`(“Complainant”) that the U.S. International Trade Commission institute an investigation pursuant
`to Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, concerning certain cameras, camera
`systems, and accessories used therewith.
`
`There is no confidential business information contained in the complaint itself, but we
`have included a separate letter requesting confidential treatment for six (6) exhibits included with
`this filing.
`
`On March 16, 2020, the Commission provided “notice that it is temporarily waiving and
`amending certain of the Commission’s rules that required the filing of paper copies, CD-ROMS,
`and other physical media in section 337 investigations to address concerns about COVID-19.”
`International Trade Commission, Temporary Changes to Filing Procedures, Federal Register
`Vol. 85, No. 54 (March 19, 2020). Specifically, the Commission approved the temporary
`amendment of various rules “to permit parties to file section 337 complaints, exhibits,
`attachments, and appendices, electronically.” Id. Accordingly, Complainant’s filing only
`contains electronic documents.
`
`Complainant’s submission via EDIS includes the following:

`
`REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
`
`March 29, 2024
`
`FILED VIA EDIS
`
`The Honorable Lisa R. Barton
`Secretary
`U.S. International Trade Commission
`500 E Street, SW, Room 112A

`
`
`
`
`Re: Certain Cameras, Camera Systems, and Accessories Used Therewith
`
`Dear Secretary Barton:
`
`Pursuant to Commission Rule 201.6, Complainant GoPro, Inc. respectfully requests
`
`confidential treatment of certain confidential business information contained in confidential
`exhibits 30-34 and 36 to the Verified Complaint.
`
`The information in the exhibits for which Complainant seeks confidential treatment
`consists of proprietary commercial information, including confidential and proprietary technical
`information related to domestic articles protected by Complainant’s asserted patents, and
`financial data regarding Complainant’s domestic investments in plant, equipment, labor, and
`capital related to domestic articles protected by Complainant’s asserted patents.
`
`The proprietary information described herein qualifies as confidential business
`information under Commission Rule 201.6 because substantially identical information is not
`available to the public, because the disclosure of this information would cause substantial
`competitive harm to Complainant, and because the disclosure of this information would likely
`impede the Commission’s efforts and ability to obtain similar information in the future.
`
`Thank you for your attention. Please contact me with any questions regarding this request
`for confidential treatment.
