The Commerce Department issued its final antidumping duty determination on oil country tubular goods from South Korea (A-580-870). In a change from its negative preliminary determination, Commerce found underselling of subject merchandise by South Korean exporters. As such, the agency will direct CBP to suspend liquidation and collect cash deposits of estimated AD duties for entries on or after July 18.

The U.S. District Court in Los Angeles committed no “abuse of discretion” when it denied Fox the preliminary injunction it sought against features of Dish Network’s Hopper DVR service, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday, upholding the district court’s September denial (CD July 15 p17) . The district court denied Fox’s injunction request because it said Fox “had not shown a likelihood” that the “Dish Anywhere” and “Hopper Transfers” features “would irreparably harm Fox before final adjudication,” said 9th Circuit (http://1.usa.gov/1qDwAUb). “Contrary to Fox’s arguments in this appeal, the district court committed no legal error and made no clearly erroneous factual findings in so ruling.” The lower court also “did not commit legal error by characterizing the irreparable harm forecasts of Fox’s executive as speculative,” said the 9th Circuit. Instead, the lower court said Fox’s “lack of evidence that the complained-of technology, available for several years, had yet caused Fox’s business any harm weighed against Fox’s argument that it would be irreparably harmed absent a preliminary injunction,” said the 9th Circuit. “In so finding, the district court did not hold Fox’s evidence to a more rigorous standard than our law requires and so did not abuse its discretion.” Moreover, “in light of the evidence that advertisers are adapting to the changing landscape of television consumption,” the lower court committed no “clear error” when it found lack of evidence to support Fox’s assertion it would lose ad revenue from the Dish technologies “absent an injunction,” the appeals court said.
The Commerce Department is beginning antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China, according to a fact sheet released July 15 by the agency. The United Steelworkers trade union requested the investigations on June 3, alleging that, since safeguard duties on Chinese tires expired in 2012, dumped and subsidized Chinese tires have flooded the U.S. market and hurt U.S. workers (see 14060402). Although Commerce usually decides whether to initiate investigations within 20 days, it had delayed its decision to make sure the petition met requirements for industry support, including from non-union workers and tire company ownership (see 14062316).

The U.S. District Court in Los Angeles committed no “abuse of discretion" when it denied Fox the preliminary injunction it sought against features of Dish Network’s Hopper DVR service, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday, upholding the district court’s September denial (CED July 15 p6).

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a September 2013 denial of Fox’s request for a preliminary injunction against Dish Network’s Hopper DVR service, said Dish. Dish is pleased that the court “sided again with consumer choice and control by rejecting Fox’s efforts to deny our customers access to the Dish Anywhere and Hopper Transfers features,” Dish said Monday in a news release (http://bit.ly/1sVdv19). The decision “had nothing to do with the merits of our claim and does not address the fact that ‘Dish Anywhere’ is both illegal and in violation of our existing distribution agreement,” a Fox spokesman said. “We will now move forward and fully expect to prevail at trial.” Fox sued Dish for breach of contract and infringement last year. The court denied Fox’s petition for a rehearing on the matter earlier this year (CD Jan 27 p3).
