ITC Seeks Comments on Potential Remedy, Bonding and the Public Interest
The ITC requests comments that address what remedy should be ordered against Aiptek, as well as bonding issues and impact of any potential remedy on the public interest. Written submissions are due by April 23, 2012. Reply submissions must be filed by April 30, 2012.
If ITC orders some form of remedy, the President has 60 days to approve or disapprove the Commission’s action. During this period, the subject articles would be entitled to enter the U.S. under bond, in an amount determined by the Commission and prescribed by the ITC.
