Scope of Investigation: Having considered the complaint, the U.S. International Trade Commission, on January 16, 2018, ordered that-- (1) Pursuant to subsection (b) of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, an investigation be instituted to determine whether there is a violation of subsection (a)(1)(B) of section 337 in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or the sale within the United States after importation of certain load supporting systems, including composite mat systems, and components thereof by reason of infringement of one or more of claims 1-4 of the '257 patent and claims 1, 4, 5, 7, and 8 of the '527 patent; and whether an industry in the United States exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337; (2) For the purpose of the investigation so instituted, the following are hereby named as parties upon which this notice of investigation shall be served: (a) The complainant is: Newpark Mats & Integrated Services LLC, 9320 Lakeside Boulevard, Suite 100, The Woodlands, TX 77381.
