``the Defaulting Respondents''). Commission Notice (May 26, 2017). In 
addition, the '746 and '959 patents were previously terminated from the 
investigation. Commission Notice (July 28, 2017).
    On May 18, 2017, Nite Ize filed a Motion for Summary Determination 
of Violation by the Defaulting Respondents and for a Recommended 
Determination on Remedy and Bonding, Including Issuance of a General 
Exclusion Order, Limited Exclusion Orders (in the alternative), and 
Cease and Desist Orders. On June 16, 2017, the ALJ issued an initial 
determination (``ID'') (Order No. 14) granting in-part Nite Ize's 
motion for summary determination. The Commission determined not to 
review that ID. Commission Notice (July 14, 2017).
    On September 12, 2017, the ALJ issued his final initial 
determination (``FID'') finding a violation of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337. On the same day, the ALJ issued his 
Recommended Determination on Remedy and Bonding. No petitions for 
review of the FID were filed.
    On November 13, 2017, the Commission determined to review the FID's 
findings on the economic prong of domestic industry and requested 
briefing on remedy, bonding, and the

public interest. 82 FR 54413-14 (Nov. 17, 2017). On November 30, 2017, 
Nite Ize and OUII filed their responses to the Commission's notice and 
on December 7, 2017, OUII filed a reply to Nite Ize's response.
    Having examined the record of this investigation, the Commission 
has determined to affirm, under modified reasoning, the ALJ's finding 
with respect to the economic prong of the domestic industry.
    The Commission has determined that the appropriate form of relief 
in this investigation is (a) a general exclusion order directed against 
products that infringe one or more of claims 1, 11, and 12 of the '376 
patent and claims 1, 11, and 12 of the '146 patent; and (b) cease and 
desist orders prohibiting Trendbox, Tenswall, REXS LLC, Minse, IdeaPro, 
LWANG, Novoland, Oumeiou, Pecham, Runshion, Scotabc, Tontek, Wekin, 
Anson, Newdreams, and IceFox from importing, selling, offering for 
sale, marketing, advertising, distributing, offering for sale, 
transferring (except for exportation), or soliciting U.S. agents or 
distributors of imported mobile device holders that infringe one or 
more of claims 1, 11, and 12 of the '376 patent and claims 1, 11, and 
12 of the '146 patent. The Commission has further determined that the 
public interest factors enumerated in section 337(d)(1) (19 U.S.C. 
1337(d)(1)) and in section 337(g)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(l)) do not 
preclude the issuance of the general exclusion order and cease and 
desist orders, respectively. Finally, the Commission has determined 
that the bond for importation during the period of Presidential review 
shall be in the amount of 100 percent of the entered value of the 
imported subject articles of the respondents. The investigation is 
terminated.
    The Commission's orders and opinion were delivered to the President 
and the United States Trade Representative on the day of their 
issuance.
    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.
