The complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, by reason of infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,933,333; 9,601,236; and 9,627,106. The complaint further alleges that a domestic industry exists. The Commission's notice of investigation named the following as respondents: Amphenol Corporation and Amphenol Interconnect Products, both of Endicott, New York; Amphenol Assemble Technology (Xiamen) Co., Ltd. and Amphenol (Xiamen) High Speed Cable Co., all of Fujian, China; and Amphenol East Asia Limited (Taiwan) of Taoyuan County, Taiwan. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations (“OUII”) is also a party to the investigation.
