Notice is hereby given that a complaint was filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission on June 17, 2020 under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, on behalf of Hyper Ice, Inc. of Irvine, California. A supplement was filed on June 27, 2020. 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 percussive massage devices by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 10,561,574 ("the '574 patent"); U.S. Design Patent No. D855,822 ("the 'D822 patent"); and U.S. Design Patent No. D886,317 ("the 'D317 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.
