P&S argued that Leviton deliberately avoided naming P&S as a respondent or accusing P&S’s products, and that any exclusion order ought not reach P&S’s products. The Commission rejected P&S’s argument, and issued a general exclusion order, but invited P&S to ‘‘avail itself of other Commission procedures to obtain a ruling as to whether its products are subject to the general exclusion order.’’ Comm’n Op. 91–92 (Apr. 27, 2012). On August 29, 2012, Leviton filed a complaint for enforcement proceedings under Commission rule 210.75(b). Among Leviton’s allegations was that Menard violated the cease and desist order by selling P&S GFCIs. See Enforcement Compl. ¶¶ 64–67. On November 1, 2012, the Commission instituted the enforcement proceeding sought by Leviton. 77 FR 66080 (Nov. 1, 2012). On November 2, 2012, P&S moved to intervene as a respondent, and on November 27, 2012, the ALJ substantially granted that motion. Order No. 71 at 4–5 (Nov. 27, 2012) (granting motion to intervene, but limiting P&S’s participation to issues of infringement and remedy). Leviton subsequently entered a Settlement and License Agreement with P&S, and Menard and P&S were terminated from the enforcement proceeding. Order No. 76 (Feb. 4, 2013), not reviewed, Notice (Mar. 1, 2013). On November 20, 2013, P&S filed a request with the Commission for an advisory opinion pursuant to Commission rule 210.79, with regard to certain redesigned P&S products. On December 2, 2013, Leviton opposed. On December 16, 2013, P&S moved for leave to file a reply, which P&S appended to its motion. The Commission has determined to grant P&S’s motion for leave to file the reply. Upon consideration of this matter, the Commission has determined to institute an advisory opinion proceeding under Commission rule 210.79 and has issued an order concerning the scope of that proceeding. The Commission has referred P&S’s request to the Chief Administrative Law Judge to designate a presiding administrative law judge for the proceedings. The following entities are named as parties to the proceeding: (1) Complainant Leviton; (2) respondent P&S; and (3) the Office of Unfair Import Investigations. 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 Part 210 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 210).
