Products Corporation of Rochester Hills, Michigan, alleging a violation
of section 337 based upon the importation into the United States, the
sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after
importation of certain windscreen wipers and components thereof by
reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,836,925
