determination not to review the
presiding administrative law judge’s
(‘‘ALJ’’) initial determination (‘‘ID’’)
(Order No. 9) granting Lutron’s motion
to amend the complaint and notice of
investigation to substitute Elemental
LED, LLC d/b/a Diode LED
(‘‘Elemental’’) as a respondent in place
of Elemental LED and Diode. On
November 22, 2011 and February 27,
2012, respectively, the Commission
issued notices of its determinations not
to review the ALJ’s IDs (Order Nos. 10
and 15) terminating Pass & Seymour and
AH Lighting from the investigation
based on consent orders.
On December 12, 2011, the ALJ issued
an ID (Order No. 11) finding Elemental
in default under Commission Rule
210.16(b)(3) based on its own election.
On January 17, 2012, the Commission
issued notice of its determination to
review the ID, and on review to find
Elemental in default under Commission
Rules 210.16(a)(2) and (b)(2). Also, on
January 17, 2012, Westgate filed a notice
electing to default. On March 5, 2012,
the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 17)
finding Westgate in default under
Commission Rules 210.16(a)(2) and
(b)(2). In the same ID, the ALJ found
respondents Big Deal, American Top,
Wenzhou Huir, Zhejiang Yuelong, and
Zhejiang Lux in default under
Commission Rule 210.16 for failing to
respond to the complaint and notice of
investigation, and for failing to respond
to the show cause order issued on
February 8, 2012 (Order No. 14). On
March 21, 2012, the Commission issued
notice of its determination not to review
the ID finding these six respondents in
default.
On January 20, 2012, Lutron filed a
motion for summary determination of
violation of section 337 pursuant to
Commission Rule 210.16(c)(2) and
requested entry of a general exclusion
order with respect to the ’930 patent.
Lutron also requested entry of a limited
exclusion order with respect to the ’919
patent directed against the accused
products of all defaulting respondents.
Lutron further requested cease and
desist orders with respect to both
asserted patents against all defaulting
respondents, except for Westgate. The
Commission investigative attorney
(‘‘IA’’) filed a response supporting the
motion.
The ALJ issued the subject ID on June
7, 2012, granting in-part the motion for
summary determination. The ALJ found
that all defaulting respondents met the
importation requirement and that
complainant satisfied the domestic
industry requirement. See 19 U.S.C.
1337(a)(1)(B), (a)(2). He found that each
of the defaulting respondents’ accused
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
products infringe one or more of the
asserted claims of the ’930 patent,
except for one accused product with
respect to claim 178. He found that the
defaulting respondents infringe the
asserted claims of the ’919 patent in
accordance with Commission Rule
210.16(c). The ID also contained the
ALJ’s recommended determination on
remedy and bonding. Specifically, the
ALJ recommended issuance of a limited
exclusion order with respect to all
defaulting respondents for the asserted
claims of both asserted patents. Also, he
recommended cease and desist orders
directed against domestic respondents
Big Deal, American Top, and Elemental
with respect to the asserted claims of
both asserted patents. The ALJ further
recommended that the Commission set
a bond of 100 percent of the entered
value of the covered products during the
period of Presidential review.
On July 19, 2012, the Commission
issued notice of its determination to
review-in-part the ALJ’s ID. On review,
the Commission vacated all portions of
the ID relating to the ’919 patent
because the patent expired on March 31,
2012. The Commission determined not
to review the remainder of the ID. The
Commission also requested written
submissions on the issues of remedy,
the public interest, and bonding from
the parties and interested non-parties.
77 FR 43612–14 (July 25, 2012). On
August 2 and 9, 2012, respectively,
Lutron and the IA each filed a brief and
a reply brief regarding remedy, the
public interest, and bonding.
The Commission has made its
determination on the issues of remedy,
the public interest, and bonding. The
Commission has determined that the
appropriate form of relief is both: (1) a
general exclusion order prohibiting the
unlicensed entry of lighting control
devices including dimmer switches and
parts thereof that infringe one or more
of claims 36, 65, 94, and 178 of the ‘930
patent; and (2) cease and desist orders
prohibiting American Top, Big Deal,
Elemental, and Zhejiang Yuelong from
conducting any of the following
activities in the United States:
importing, selling, marketing,
advertising, distributing, offering for
sale, transferring (except for
exportation), and soliciting U.S. agents
or distributors for, lighting control
devices including dimmer switches and
parts thereof that infringe one or more
of claims 36, 38–41, 53–56, 58, 60, 65,
67–70, 76, 82–83, 85, 87, 89, 94, 96–99,
105, 111–112, 114, 116, 118, 178, 180,
189, 193, and 197 of the ’930 patent.
The Commission further determined
that the public interest factors
enumerated in sections 337(d)(1) and
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(g)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(1), (g)(1)) do
not preclude issuance of the general
exclusion order or the cease and desist
orders. Finally, the Commission
determined that there shall be a bond in
the amount of 100% of the entered
value of the covered products to permit
temporary importation during the
period of Presidential review (19 U.S.C.
1337(j)). The Commission’s orders and
opinion were delivered to the President
and to the United States Trade
Representative on the day of their
issuance.
The Commission has terminated this
investigation. 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 210.50 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (19 CFR § 210.50).
By order of the Commission.
