The complaint, as amended, named CompX International, Inc., of Dallas, Texas and Waterloo Furniture Components Limited, of Ontario, Canada (collectively, ‘‘CompX’’) as respondents. The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (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 adjustable keyboard support systems and components thereof that infringe certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,292,097 (‘‘the ’097 patent’’).

In his ID, the ALJ found that CompX’s ‘‘Wedge-Brake’’ products do not infringe either claims 7 or 34. The ALJ found that CompX’s ‘‘Brake-Shoe’’ products, on the other hand, do infringe claims 7 and 34, but that respondents established that claim 7 is invalid because it is obvious under 35 U.S.C. 103. The ALJ further found that respondents have not established the defense of intervening rights.

Accordingly, the ALJ recommended that the Commission issue a limited exclusion order barring entry into the United States of infringing adjustable keyboard support systems and components thereof. The ALJ further recommended the issuance of a cease and desist order against respondent Waterloo Furniture Components Ltd. On March 9, 2010, Humanscale, CompX, and the Commission investigative attorney (‘‘IA’’) each filed a petition for review of the ALJ’s final ID.

On May 17, 2010, Humanscale, CompX, and the IA each filed responses to the Commission’s request for written submissions. On May 27, 2010, Humanscale, CompX and the IA filed reply submissions. On June 14, 2010, CompX filed a surreply to Humanscale’s reply submission. Having examined the record of this investigation, including the ALJ’s ID and the submissions of the parties, the Commission has determined to reverse the ALJ’s determination that the respondents violated section 337. The Commission finds the asserted claims are not infringed and are invalid. 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 section 210.45 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.45).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on March 13, 2009 based on a complaint filed by Humanscale Corporation 
(``Humanscale'') of New York, New York. 74 FR 10963 (Mar. 13, 2009). 
The complaint, as amended, named CompX International, Inc., of Dallas,

(collectively, ``CompX'') as respondents. The complaint alleged 
violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (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 
adjustable keyboard support systems and components thereof that 
infringe certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,292,097 (``the '097

    On February 23, 2010, the ALJ issued a final ID, including his 
recommended determination on remedy and bonding. In his ID, the ALJ 
found that CompX's ``Wedge-Brake'' products do not infringe either

the defense of intervening rights. Finally, the ALJ found that 
complainant proved the existence of a domestic industry in the United 
States. Accordingly, the ALJ recommended that the Commission issue a 
limited exclusion order barring entry into the United States of 
infringing adjustable keyboard support systems and components thereof. 
The ALJ further recommended the issuance of a cease and desist order 
against respondent Waterloo Furniture Components Ltd.
    On March 9, 2010, Humanscale, CompX, and the Commission 
investigative attorney (``IA'') each filed a petition for review of the 
ALJ's final ID. On April 26, 2010, the Commission determined to review

determined to reverse the ALJ's determination that the respondents 
violated section 337. The Commission finds the asserted claims are not 
infringed and are invalid.
