A letter supplementing the complaint was filed on November 19, 2013. The complaint alleges violations 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 antivenom compositions and products containing the same by reason of infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,048,414 ("the `414 patent"). The complaint further alleges that an industry in the United States exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337. The complainant requests that the Commission institute an investigation and, after the investigation, issue a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders.
