SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on March 31, 2008, based on a complaint filed by General Electric
Company (``GE''). The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) in the importation into the
United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United
States after importation of certain variable speed wind turbines and components thereof that allegedly infringe certain claims of United
States Patent Nos. 5,083,039 and 6,921,985. The complaint named
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries of America, Inc. of New York, New York, and Mitsubishi Power
Systems, Inc. of Lake Mary, Florida.
On September 16, 2007, GE filed a motion to amend the complaint and notice of investigation to correct two clerical errors: (1) An incorrect figure expressed in Confidential Exhibit 30, and (2) a respondent identified by a former name rather than its current name.
The motion was not opposed.
On June 18, 2008, the ALJ granted GE's motion, finding that, it is in the best interest of the parties and the public interest for the complaint and notice of investigation to be corrected. No petitions for review of this ID were filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the ALJ's ID.
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 section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure
By order of the Commission.
