On February 7, 2005, the ALJ issued Order No. 31 finding that Verve lacked sufficient standing by itself to maintain this investigation without joining Omron Tateisi Electronics Company (‘‘Omron’’). On February 11, 2005, Verve filed a motion for withdrawal of the complaint and termination of the investigation. On February 18, 2005, the remaining respondents filed a joint motion for sanctions for improper filing of the complaint, abuse of discovery and failure to make discovery, and attorneys’ fees for the sanctionable conduct found to exist.

The public record for this investigation may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on June 3, 2004, based on a complaint filed by Trend Micro Inc. of Cupertino, California (‘‘Trend Micro’’). 69 FR 32044–45 (2004). The complaint alleged violations of section 337 in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation into the United States, or the sale within the United PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 40731 States after importation of certain systems for detecting and removing viruses or worms, components thereof, and products containing same by reason of infringement of claims 1–22 of U.S. Patent No. 5,623,600 (‘‘the ’600 patent’’). The notice of investigation named Fortinet, Inc. (‘‘Fortinet’’) as the sole respondent. On October 12, 2004, the ALJ issued Order No. 6 terminating the investigation as to claims 2, 5–6, 9–10, and 16–22 of the ’600 patent based upon Trend Micro’s unopposed motion to withdraw these claims. The Commission did not review Order No. 6, hence the claims of the ’600 patent in issue are claims 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 11– 15. On December 14, 2004, the ALJ issued Order No. 13 granting complainant Trend Micro’s motion for a summary determination that it satisfies the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement. Order No. 13 was not reviewed by the Commission. An evidentiary hearing was held from January 24, 2005, to January 28, 2005. On March 29, 2005, a second evidentiary hearing was conducted and additional exhibits received into evidence. On May 9, 2005, the ALJ issued his final ID and recommended determinations on remedy and bonding. He found a violation of section 337 based on his determinations that claims 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 of the ’600 patent are not invalid or unenforceable, and that they are infringed by respondent’s products. The ALJ also found that an industry exists that is related to the ’600 patent, and that the respondent has imported infringing product. The ALJ further found that claims 1 and 3 of the ’600 patent are anticipated by prior art. On May 20, 2005, respondent Fortinet filed a petition for review of the final ID and complainant Trend Micro filed a contingent petition for review. The IA did not file a petition. On May 27, 2005, Fortinet filed a response to Trend Micro’s contingent petition for review, and Trend Micro filed a response to Fortinet’s petition for review. On June 2, 2005, the IA filed a response to Trend Micro’s and Fortinet’s petitions for review. Having examined the record in this investigation, including the ALJ’s final ID, the petitions for review, and the responses thereto, the Commission has determined not to review the ID, thereby finding a violation of section 337. In connection with the final disposition of this investigation, the Commission may issue (1) an order that could result in the exclusion of the E:\FR\FM\14JYN1.SGM 14JYN1
