The Commerce Department is initiating a changed circumstances review of the countervailing duty order on heavy walled rectangular pipes and tubes from Turkey (C-489-825), at the request of Ozdemir A.S., which seeks to have its name change from Ozdemir Boru Profil Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited Sirketi (Ozdemir LLC) to Ozdemir Boru Profil Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi (Ozdemir A.S.) recognized for CV duty purposes. In its request, Ozdemir A.S. said the change is in name only and that its business operations remain substantially unchanged. Commerce said that it preliminarily determined in this proceeding that Ozdemir A.S. is the successor-in-interest to Ozdemir LLC. If Commerce confirms this in the final results of the changed circumstances review, Ozdemir A.S. may inherit the CV duty rate assigned to Ozdemir LLC. For entries in 2019, Ozedmir LLC was assigned a zero percent CV duty rate for subject merchandise, as announced in a Feb. 1 Federal Register notice (see 2201310038). Commerce has already determined that Ozdemir A.S. is the successor-in-interest to Ozdemir LLC for antidumping duty purposes, effective Jan. 25.

The International Trade Commission is beginning four Section 337 investigations involving Apple and Ericsson cellular technologies, with three involving allegations from Ericsson that Apple mobile phones and tablets are infringing its patents (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1299, -1300, -1301), and the other involving allegations from Apple targeting Ericsson base stations (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1302), the ITC said. The first three are based on a trio of complaints filed by Ericsson Jan. 18 that said several models of iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, HomePods and Apple TVs infringe 12 of its patents (see 2201210007). Apple filed its complaint the following day, accusing Ericsson of improperly using standard essential patents and nonstandard essential patents to force Apple into unfair licensing agreements (see 2201250047). In each investigation, the ITC will consider limited exclusion orders and cease and desist orders against Ericsson and Apple, respectively. Comments on the three investigations requested by Ericsson are due March 4. The ITC has yet to publish its notice seeking comments on the investigation requested by Apple.
The Commerce Department released the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on large residential washers from Mexico (A-201-842). The agency calculated an AD rate of zero percent for Electrolux Home Products Corp. N.V. and its affiliate Electrolux Home Products de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., the only company under review. Any changes to Electrolux's cash deposit rate would take effect on the publication date of the final results of this review in the Federal Register, currently due in June. As it currently stands, once it issues the final results, the agency will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties on subject merchandise from Electrolux entered Feb. 1, 2020, through Jan. 31, 2021.
