The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation, sale for importation, or sale within the United States after importation of certain softedged trampolines and components thereof by reason of infringement of claims 1 and 13 of U.S. Patent No. 6,319,174 (‘‘the ’174 patent’’). Id. The notice of investigation names Vuly Trampolines Pty. Ltd. of Brisbane, Australia (‘‘Vuly’’) as the sole respondent. Id. at 4957. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations did not participate in the investigation. Id. On December 5, 2014, the administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued a final ID finding no violation of section 337. On December 18, 2014, the ALJ issued a recommended determination (‘‘RD’’) on remedy and bonding. On December 22, 2014, Springfree and Vuly filed petitions for review challenging various findings in the final ID. On January 2, 2015, the parties filed responses. The Commission did not receive any post-RD public interest comments from the public or the parties. On February 5, 2015, the Commission determined to review the final ID in part and requested additional briefing from the parties on certain issues. The Commission also solicited briefing from the parties and the public on the issues of remedy, bonding, and the public interest. On February 19, 2015, the parties filed briefs addressing the Commission’s questions and the issues of remedy, bonding, and the public interest. On March 2, 2015, the parties filed reply briefs. Having examined the record of this investigation, including the ALJ’s final ID and submissions from the parties, the Commission has determined to affirm the ALJ’s determination of no violation. As explained more fully in the forthcoming Commission opinion, the Commission has determined to construe ‘‘flexible mat’’ in the first instance, modify the ALJ’s construction of ‘‘first retaining means,’’ and affirm, but on modified grounds, the ALJ’s construction of ‘‘flexible elongated rod.’’ The Commission has determined to affirm, but on modified grounds, the ALJ’s findings that Vuly’s products infringe claim 13, that Springfree’s SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 products practice claim 13, that claim 1 is not invalid as anticipated by the prior art, that claim 13 is invalid as anticipated by the prior art, and that claims 1 and 13 are not invalid due to lack of enablement. The Commission has determined to reverse the ALJ’s findings that Vuly’s products infringe claim 1, that Springfree’s products do not practice claim 1, and that Springfree did not satisfy the technical prong of the domestic industry requirement as to claims 1 and 13. The Commission has determined to affirm the ALJ’s finding that Springfree did not satisfy the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement. The Commission has determined not to reach the issue of whether claim 13 is obvious. 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).
