Download as PDF WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 235 / Wednesday, December 9, 2009 / Notices satisfied, finding a violation of section 337 and containing a recommended determination on remedy and bonding. The ALJ recommended that, in the event the Commission finds a violation of section 337, the Commission should issue a limited exclusion order directed to all of Respondents’ accused products found to infringe the ’737 and ’338 patents. ID at 101–104. The ALJ further recommended that if the Commission imposes a remedy following a finding of violation, Respondents should be required to post a bond of 100 percent of the entered value of accused products imported during the Presidential review period. Id. Respondents filed a combined petition for review of the ID, and Presstek and the Commission Investigative Attorney (‘‘IA’’) filed oppositions thereto. On September 24, 2009, the Commission determined to review certain aspects of the ID relating to claim construction and to modify the ID by supplementing the claim construction analysis. 74 FR 49890 (Sept. 29, 2009). The Commission also requested written submissions on the issues of remedy, the public interest and bonding, and further requested submissions of proposed remedial orders. Id. On October 5, 2009, Respondents filed a collective brief on the issues for which the Commission requested written submissions. Presstek and the IA filed their briefs on those same issues on October 6, 2009, and on October 13, 2009, Presstek filed a response to Respondents’ brief. Having reviewed the record in this investigation, including the ID and the parties’ written submissions, the Commission has determined that the appropriate form of relief is a limited exclusion order prohibiting the unlicensed entry of laser imageable lithographic printing plates that infringe one or more of claims 1, 10 and 27 of the ’737 patent or claims 20, 21 and 23 of the ’338 patent and that are manufactured abroad by or on behalf of, or imported by or on behalf of, Respondents. The Commission further determines that the public interest factors enumerated in section 337(d) (19 U.S.C. 1337(d)) do not preclude issuance of the limited exclusion order. Finally, the Commission determines that no bond is required to permit temporary importation during the period of Presidential review (19 U.S.C. 1337(j)) of the laser imageable lithographic printing plates that are subject to the order. The Commission’s order and opinion were delivered to the President VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:02 Dec 08, 2009 Jkt 220001 and to the United States Trade Representative on the day of their issuance. The authority for the Commission’s determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and in sections 210.50 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR 210.50.
