Full Translation
Subject line translation: 'Statement/Explanation Regarding a Section 337 Investigation by the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC).' Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 empowers the USITC to investigate complaints of unfair practices in import trade — most commonly patent, trademark, or trade-secret infringement by imported goods. If the USITC finds a violation, it may issue a Limited Exclusion Order (LEO) or General Exclusion Order (GEO) prohibiting the importation of the infringing products into the United States, and/or a Cease and Desist Order against the named respondent. Delta Electronics (2308) has filed this Material Information disclosure to inform investors of the existence of, or a development in, such a proceeding. The U.S. market represents a significant revenue geography for the company; any exclusion order would directly impact the company's ability to sell affected product lines in the United States.
