Ltd. The Commission found that
Complainants admit that the following
redesigned grills do not infringe the ’712
patent: (1) Chant/Tractor Supply’s New

Mark Grill, Model No. GR2071001–MM
(Ver. 2) and (3) Rankam’s Smoke
Canyon Grill, Model No. GR2034205–SC
(Ver. 2). Comm’n Op. at 1 (Jun. 24,

redesigned products at issue were
within the scope of the investigation. Id.
The Commission adopted the ALJ’s
construction of the ‘‘openable [] cover’’
limitations of claims 1 and 17 on
modified grounds. Id. The Commission
affirmed the ALJ’s finding of noninfringement of claims 1 and 17 for the
Char-Broil Oklahoma Joe Longhorn

ALJ’s findings that the redesigned grills
do not infringe claims 1 and 17 on
modified grounds. Id. The Commission
also found that the ‘‘openable [] cover
means’’ limitations of claim 10 are
means-plus-function limitations and
directed the ALJ to make findings
consistent with its means-plus-function
interpretation. Id. at 2.
On July 31, 2014, the Commission
determined not to review an initial
determination granting a motion for
partial termination of the investigation

On September 26, 2014, the ALJ

Kingsun, Academy, and Huige based
upon his determinations: (i) That
certain, but not all, accused products
infringe at least one claim of the ’712
patent; (ii) that the domestic industry
requirement has been satisfied with
respect to the ’712 patent; and (iii) that
the asserted claims of the ’712 patent
have not been shown by clear and
convincing evidence to be invalid. On
October 9, 2014, the ALJ issued his
Recommended Determination on
remedy and bonding.
On October 14, 2014, A&J filed a
petition for review of certain aspects of
the final ID’s findings concerning claim
construction and infringement. On the
same day, Brinkmann, OLP, and
Academy together sought review of

regarding validity. OLP separately
challenged certain aspects of the final
ID’s findings regarding claim
construction and infringement.
