filed by John Mezzalingua Associates,

New York (‘‘PPC’’). 73 FR 31145 (May

States, the sale for importation, and the
sale within the United States after
importation of certain coaxial cable
connectors and components thereof and
products containing the same by reason
of infringement of various patents,
including U.S. Patent No. 6,558,194
(‘‘the ‘194 patent’’). The notice of
institution named eight respondents.
After institution, two respondents were
terminated based on consent orders and
four respondents were found to be in
default (‘‘defaulting respondents’’). Two
respondents, Fu-Ching Technical
Industry, Co., Ltd., and Gem Electronics,
Inc., remained active.
On October 13, 2009, the
Administrative Law Judge (‘‘ALJ’’)
issued his final initial determination
(‘‘ID’’) and recommended determination
on remedy and bonding. The ALJ found
a violation of section 337 by the
defaulting respondents in connection
with the ‘194 patent. On December 14,
2009, the Commission determined to
review the final ID in part, but the
Commission did not review the ALJ’s
determination with respect to the ‘194
patent. The Commission issued a
general exclusion order on March 31,
2010 with respect to the ‘194 patent
based on a finding of violation of
Section 337 by the defaulting
respondents.
On September 12, 2011, nonrespondent, Holland Electronics, LLC
(‘‘Holland’’) filed a request for an
advisory opinion under Commission
Rule 210.79 (19 CFR 210.79) that would
declare that its coaxial cable connectors,
utilizing an axial but not radial
compression for deformation, are
outside of the scope of the
Commission’s March 31, 2010 general
exclusion order. Holland further
requested that the Commission conduct
all proceedings related to the advisory
opinion in an expedited manner and not
refer the matter to an administrative law
judge (ALJ).
On October 31, 2011, the Commission
determined to institute an advisory
opinion proceeding based on Holland’s
request. 76 FR 68504 (November 4,
2011). The Commission directed PPC
and the Commission Investigative
Attorney (‘‘IA’’) to state their views
regarding whether they oppose
Holland’s request for an advisory
opinion that its subject connectors are
not covered by the March 31, 2010,
general exclusion order, and if so,
whether they believe the matter should
be referred to an ALJ. Id. On November
11, 2011, PPC filed a response in
support of Holland’s request for an
advisory opinion. On November 14,
2011, the IA also filed a response in
PO 00000

support of Holland’s request. Both PPC
and the IA stated that it was not
necessary to refer this matter to the ALJ.
The Commission has reviewed the
parties’ submissions and has
determined to grant Holland’s request
for an advisory opinion that its products
embodying the design set forth in
Exhibit H to Holland’s advisory opinion
request, and specifically the products
listed in Exhibit I to Holland’s request
that embody that design, are not covered
by the Commission’s general exclusion
order issued on March 31, 2010.
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 210.79(a) of the Commission’s
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR
