States Patent

[[Page 46369]]

Nos. 5,434,480 (``the '480 patent'') and 8,035,318 (``the '318 
patent''). The complaint named numerous respondents, many of whom have 
been terminated from the investigation on the basis of settlement 
agreement, consent order, or withdrawal of the complaint. By the time 
of the Administrative Law Judge's final Initial Determination (``ID''), 
the remaining respondents were: Technical Consumer Products, Inc. of 
Aurora, Ohio; Shanghai Qiangling Electronics Co., Ltd. of Shanghai, 
China; Zhejiang Qiang Ling Electronic Co. Ltd. of Zhenjiang, China 
(collectively, ``TCP''); U Lighting America Inc. of San Jose, 
California (``ULA''); and Golden U Lighting Manufacturing (Shenzhen) of 
Shenzhen, China (``Golden U''). Claim 9 of the '480 patent has been 
asserted against ULA and Golden U, and claims 1 and 12 of the '318 
patent have been asserted against TCP.
    On February 27, 2013, the ALJ issued his final Initial 
Determination (``ID''). The ID found Golden U in default, but found no 
violation of section 337 as to all remaining respondents on the basis 
of Neptun's failure to satisfy the economic prong of the domestic 
industry requirement of section 337. The ALJ also found that respondent 
TCP's accused products do not infringe the asserted claims of the '318 
patent.
    On March 12, 2013, Neptun filed a petition for review of the ID; 
TCP and ULA each filed a contingent petition for review of the ID. On 
March 20, 2013, Neptun opposed TCP's and ULA's petitions, and TCP and 
ULA each opposed Neptun's petition. On April 3, 2013, the Commission 
extended the whether-to-review deadline and the target date by 
approximately six weeks. Notice (Apr. 3, 2013).
    On June 10, 2013, Neptun and TCP filed an unopposed joint motion to 
terminate the investigation as to TCP on the basis of a settlement 
agreement between Neptun and TCP. On June 12, 2013, the Commission 
issued a notice terminating the investigation as to TCP. That notice 
also determined to review, inter alia, the ALJ's finding that Neptun 
did not demonstrate the existence of a domestic industry. On June 25, 
2013, Neptun and ULA filed briefs in response to the Commission notice. 
Neptun and ULA subsequently requested extensions of time for the filing 
of replies in order to enable them to submit a motion terminating the 
investigation against ULA.
    On July 10, 2013, Neptun and ULA moved to terminate the 
investigation against ULA on the basis of a settlement agreement. On 
July 15, 2013, Neptun moved to terminate the investigation against 
Golden U on the basis of withdrawal of the complaint. Termination 
against these two respondents results in termination of the 
investigation. The Commission has determined that termination as to the 
remaining respondents is in the public interest, and the Commission has 
determined to grant both motions. The Commission thereby terminates the 
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 sections 210.21 and 210.42-46 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (19 CFR 210.21, 210.42-46).
