Download as PDF rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 73102 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 236 / Tuesday, December 9, 2014 / Notices products and related marketing materials by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. RE38,096 (‘‘the ’096 patent’’); U.S. Patent No. 6,978,775 (‘‘the ’775 patent’’); U.S. Trademark Registration No. 2,501,255 (‘‘the ’255 mark’’); and U.S. Trademark Registration No. 3,312,392 (‘‘the ’392 mark’’). Id. The complaint further alleges the existence of a domestic industry. Id. The Commission’s notice of investigation named Ningbo Topoint as the only respondent, and indicated that the Office of Unfair Import Investigations is participating in this investigation. Id. On September 2, 2014, the ALJ ordered Ningbo Topoint to show cause why it should not be found in default. See Order No. 10. No response to Order No. 10 was filed. On September 16, 2014, the ALJ issued an initial determination finding Ningbo Topoint in default under Commission Rule 210.16(a)(1) (19 CFR 210.16(a)(1)). See Order No. 11. On October 16, 2014, the Commission determined not to review the initial determination. The Commission requested briefing from the parties and the public on the issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding. The Commission received responsive submissions from Complainants and the Commission Investigative Attorney (‘‘IA’’) on October 30, 2014, and a reply submission from the IA on November 6, 2014. The submissions agreed that the appropriate remedy is the entry of a limited exclusion order against Ningbo Topoint, that the public interest factors do not weigh against granting such a limited exclusion order, and that bonding should be set at 100 percent of the entered value of the infringing products. The Commission finds that the statutory requirements of section 337(g)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1)) and Commission Rule 210.16(a)(1) (19 CFR 210.16(a)(1)) are met with respect to Ningbo Topoint. Accordingly, pursuant to section 337(g)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1)) and Commission Rule 210.16(c) (19 CFR 210.16(c)), the Commission presumes the facts alleged in the complaint to be true and finds that Ningbo Topoint is in violation of section 337. The Commission has determined that the appropriate form of relief in this investigation is a limited exclusion order prohibiting the unlicensed entry of archery products and related marketing materials that are manufactured abroad by or on behalf of, or imported by or on behalf of, Ningbo Topoint that infringe one or more of claims 1–3, 6–12, and 15–38 of the ’096 patent and claims 1–3, 16–22, 24–26, VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:48 Dec 08, 2014 Jkt 235001 29, 31, and 32 of the ’775 patent, or infringe the ’255 or ’392 marks. The Commission has further determined that the public interest factors enumerated in section 337(g)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1)) do not preclude the issuance of the limited exclusion order. Finally, the Commission has determined that the bond for importation during the period of Presidential review shall be in the amount of 100 percent of the entered value of the imported subject articles of Ningbo Topoint. The Commission’s order was delivered to the President and the United States Trade Representative on the day of its issuance. 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).
