Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 229 / Wednesday, November 29, 2006 / Notices
Decision: As soon as practicable the
Seashore will begin to implement as its
new Non-Native Deer Management Plan
the Preferred Alternative (Alternative E)
contained in the Draft and Final EIS.
The selected plan features a deliberate,
long-term strategy targeting eradication
of all fallow and axis deer from the
Seashore by 2021. A combined program
of fertility control (using long-lasting
contraceptives) and lethal removal will
be instituted, as well as an intensive
monitoring program extending for at
least 15 years.
As documented in the Final EIS, this
course of action was deemed to be
‘‘environmentally preferred’’. The
preferred plan and four alternatives
were identified and analyzed in the
Final EIS, and previously in the Draft
EIS (the latter was distributed in
February, 2005). The full spectrum of
foreseeable environmental
consequences was assessed, and
appropriate mitigation measures
identified, for each alternative.
Beginning with early scoping, through
the preparation of the Draft and Final
EIS, numerous public meetings were
hosted. Approximately 2000 oral and
written comments were received during
the scoping phase or in response to the
Draft EIS. Key consultations or other
contacts which aided in preparing the
Draft and Final EIS involved (but were
not limited to) the California
Department of Fish and Game,
California State Parks, Marin County
Parks and Open Space, Marin Municipal
Water District, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture
Animal Plant Health Inspection Service,
and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Local communities, county and city
officials, and interested organizations
were contacted extensively during
initial scoping and throughout the
conservation planning and
environmental impact analysis process.

review the Record of Decision may
obtain a complete copy by contacting
the Superintendent, Pt. Reyes National
Seashore, Point Reyes, CA 94956; or via

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
investigation was instituted on
September 23, 2005, based on a
complaint filed by Bavarian Nordic
A/S (‘‘Bavarian Nordic’’) of Denmark.
The complaint alleged violations of
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the
importation into the United States, the
sale for importation, and the sale within
the United States after importation of
certain modified vaccinia ankara
(‘‘MVA’’) viruses and vaccines and
pharmaceutical compositions based
thereon by reason of infringement of
various claims of United States Patent
Nos. 6,761,893 (‘‘the ’893 patent’’) and
6,913,752 (‘‘the ’752 patent’’). The
complaint also alleged violations of
section 337 in the importation of certain
MVA viruses and vaccines and
pharmaceutical compositions based
thereon or in the sale of such articles by
reason of misappropriation of trade
secrets, the threat or effect of which is
to destroy or substantially injure an
industry in the United States. The
complaint named a single respondent,
Acambis PLC (‘‘Acambis’’) of the United
Kingdom.
On November 30, 2005, the ALJ
issued an order (Order No. 10) denying
Acambis’ motion to terminate the
investigation on the basis of 28 U.S.C.
1498.
On April 14, 2006, the ALJ issued an
ID (Order No. 26) terminating the trade
secret portion of this investigation based
on an agreement to arbitrate between
Bavarian Nordic and Acambis. On May
9, 2006, the Commission declined to
review this ID.
On April 17, 2006, the ALJ issued an
ID (Order No. 27) granting in part
respondent’s motion for summary
determination with regard to the
conversion claim, on the basis, inter
alia, that it was insufficiently pled. In a
separate notice issued on May 9, 2006,
the Commission reviewed the ID on the
conversion claim, affirming the
dismissal of the conversion claim and
taking no position on the ALJ’s finding
of no jurisdiction over the conversion
claim.
After a hearing and post-hearing
briefing, the ALJ issued a final initial
determination (‘‘final ID’’) on September
6, 2006, finding no violation of section
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
69143
337. The ALJ held that the patents were
infringed but invalid.
Bavarian Nordic, Acambis, and the
Commission investigative attorney filed
petitions for review of the final ID. By
notice of October 20, 2006, the
Commission extended the deadline for
determining whether to review the final
ID to Wednesday, November 22, 2006
and extended the target date for
completion of the investigation to
Monday, January 8, 2007.
Having examined the relevant
portions of the record in this
investigation, including the final ID, the
petitions for review, and the responses
thereto, the Commission has determined
to review the final ID in its entirety, as
well as Order No. 10. The Commission
has also determined to extend the target
date for completion of the investigation
to January 31, 2007.
The Commission requests briefing
based on the evidentiary record on the
issues on review. The Commission is
particularly interested in responses to
the following questions:
Regarding Both the ’893 and ’752 Patents
(1) Does 28 U.S.C. 1498(a) constitute an
affirmative defense available in section 337
investigations? If so, has Acambis properly
and timely raised and maintained this
defense? What are the consequences of
having successfully raised and maintained
this defense in a section 337 proceeding?
Regarding the ’893 Patent
(1) As a matter of claim construction, does
‘‘virus deposited’’ in claim 1 refer to an
isolated, purified virus?
(2) Can the virus deposited be identified by
sequence alone or is replication behavior a
limitation of the virus deposited? If two
viruses contain identical DNA coding region
sequences, are the viral genomes necessarily
identical? If not, e.g., if viruses contained
different inverted terminal repeats, is
replication behavior necessarily the same?
What are the consequences of replication
behavior for determining anticipation and
infringement of ‘‘virus deposited * * * and
derivatives’’ in claim 1?
(3) May a mixture of viruses containing the
claimed virus anticipate claim 1 regardless of
the replication behavior of the mixture? Does
MVA–572 or MVA–575 inherently anticipate
claim 1 even if those prior art viruses were
not homogenous?
(4) Is MVA–F6 homogenous and does
MVA–F6 directly anticipate claim 1?
Regarding the ’752 Patent
(1) Is there any evidence that the terms
‘‘non-replicative’’ and ‘‘not capable of
reproductive replication’’ have different
meanings, despite the use of different words?
Should the terms ‘‘non-replicative’’ and
‘‘permit replication’’ as they appear in the
asserted claims of the ’752 patent be
construed in conformance with the teaching
from the specification that ‘‘the term ‘not
capable of reproductive replication’ means
that the virus of the present invention
