Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 175 / Thursday, September 10, 2015 / Notices
with reference to the applicable law and
the existing evidentiary record. In
connection with its review, the
Commission requests responses to the
following questions only.
1. Discuss whether the limitation
‘‘single linear downscan transducer
element’’ as recited in claims 1 and 23
of the ’840 patent (and its variants in the
’499 and ’550 patents) should be
construed as ‘‘a single downwardly
pointed transducer that is formed from
a single element or a plurality of
elements that act together as if they
were a single element.’’ Discuss whether
the phrase ‘‘act together’’ in this
construction means act simultaneously
or in phase. If the variants of the
limitation ‘‘single linear downscan
transducer element’’ in the ’499 and
’550 patents should be construed
differently, please explain any such
differences.
2. Applying the construction in
Question No. 1, discuss whether the
accused products satisfy the limitation
‘‘single linear downscan transducer
element.’’
3. Applying the construction in
Question No. 1, discuss whether the
prior art anticipates or renders obvious
the asserted claims with respect to the
limitation ‘‘single linear downscan
transducer element.’’
In connection with the final
disposition of this investigation, the
Commission may (1) issue an order that
could result in the exclusion of the
subject articles from entry into the
United States, and/or (2) issue one or
more cease and desist orders that could
result in the respondent(s) being
required to cease and desist from
engaging in unfair acts in the
importation and sale of such articles.
Accordingly, the Commission is
interested in receiving written
submissions that address the form of
remedy, if any, that should be ordered.
If a party seeks exclusion of an article
from entry into the United States for
purposes other than entry for
consumption, the party should so
indicate and provide information
establishing that activities involving
other types of entry either are adversely
affecting it or likely to do so. For
background, see Certain Devices for
Connecting Computers via Telephone
Lines, Inv. No. 337–TA–360, USITC
Pub. No. 2843 (Dec. 1994) (Commission
Opinion).
If the Commission contemplates some
form of remedy, it must consider the
effects of that remedy upon the public
interest. The factors the Commission
will consider include the effect that an
exclusion order and/or cease and desist
orders would have on (1) the public

health and welfare, (2) competitive
conditions in the U.S. economy, (3) U.S.
production of articles that are like or
directly competitive with those that are
subject to investigation, and (4) U.S.
consumers. The Commission is
therefore interested in receiving written
submissions that address the
aforementioned public interest factors
in the context of this investigation.
If the Commission orders some form
of remedy, the U.S. Trade
Representative, as delegated by the
President, has 60 days to approve or
disapprove the Commission’s action.
See Presidential Memorandum of July
21, 2005, 70 Fed. Reg. 43251 (July 26,
2005). During this period, the subject
articles would be entitled to enter the
United States under bond, in an amount
determined by the Commission and
prescribed by the Secretary of the
Treasury. The Commission is therefore
interested in receiving submissions
concerning the amount of the bond that
should be imposed if a remedy is
ordered.
Written Submissions: The parties to
the investigation are requested to file
written submissions on all of the issues
identified in this notice. Parties to the
investigation, interested government
agencies, and any other interested
parties are encouraged to file written
submissions on the issues of remedy,
the public interest, and bonding. Such
submissions should address the
recommended determination by the ALJ
on remedy and bonding. Complainant
Navico is also requested to submit
proposed remedial orders for the
Commission’s consideration. Navico is
also requested to state the date that the
asserted patent expires and the HTSUS
numbers under which the accused
products are imported, and provide
identification information for all known
importers of the subject articles. Initial
written submissions and proposed
remedial orders must be filed no later
than close of business on Monday,
September 14, 2015. Initial written
submissions by the parties shall be no
more than 40 pages, excluding any
attachments or exhibits related to
discussion of the public interest. Reply
submissions must be filed no later than
the close of business on Monday,
September 21, 2015. Reply submissions
by the parties shall be no more than 20
pages, excluding any exhibits. No
further submissions on these issues will
be permitted unless otherwise ordered
by the Commission. Persons filing
written submissions must file the
original document electronically on or
before the deadlines stated above and
submit 8 true paper copies to the Office
of the Secretary by noon the next day
