SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on February 26, 2025, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Razor USA 
LLC of Cerritos, California and Shane Chen of Camas, Washington 
(collectively, ``Complainants''). 90 FR 10,730 (Feb. 26, 2025). The 
complaint, as amended, alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation into the 
United States, the sale for importation, or the sale within the United 
States after importation of certain motorized self-balancing vehicles 
by reason of the infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 
RE46,964; U.S. Patent No. RE49,608; and U.S. Patent No. D739,906. Id. 
The complaint further alleges that an industry in the United States 
exists or is in the process of being established as required by the 
applicable Federal Statute. Id. The Commission's notice of 
investigation named five respondents: Golabs Inc. d/b/a Gotrax of 
Carrollton, Texas; Dongguan Saibotan Nengyuan Keji Co., Ltd. d/b/a 
``Gyroor US'' of Guangdong, China; Gyroor Technology (CHINA) Co., Ltd. 
d/b/a Gyroor of Guangdong, China; Shenzhen Chitado Technology Co., Ltd. 
d/b/a Gyroor of Guangdong, China; and Unicorn Network, LLC. d/b/a 
Sisigad (``Sisigad'') of Dover, Delaware. Id.
    Respondent Sisigad has been found in default. Order No. 7 (Apr. 16, 
2025), unreviewed by Comm'n Notice (May 5, 2025).
    On April 30, 2025, Complainants filed an unopposed motion to amend 
the complaint and NOI by adding a new respondent, Tao Motor, of Lishui 
City, China. The motion argued that good cause exists to add Tao Motor 
as a respondent and there is no prejudice to any party or the public 
interest by adding Tao Motor to the investigation.
    On May 13, 2025, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 10), 
finding good cause to grant Complainants' unopposed motion to amend the 
complaint and NOI by adding Tao Motor. The ALJ found there is good 
cause to add Tao Motor as a respondent to this investigation and that 
the amendments will not prejudice any of the parties or the public 
interest. Order No. 10 at 2. No petitions for review were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. 
Accordingly, Tao Motor is hereby added as a respondent to this 
investigation.
    The Commission vote for this determination took place on June 3, 
2025.
    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.

    Issued: June 4, 2025.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
