Certain Pool and Spa Enclosures; Institution of Investigation

Notice is hereby given that a complaint was filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission on May 10, 2017, under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, on behalf of Aqua Shield, Inc. of West Babylon, New York. An amended complaint was filed on July 17, 2017. Supplements to the amended complaint were filed on August 10, 2017 and September 5, 2017. The complaint, as amended, 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 pool and spa enclosures by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,637,160 (``the '160 patent''). The amended 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 limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders.
