Download as PDF asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 57 / Thursday, March 24, 2016 / Notices received initial written submissions from ARM, Respondents, and the IA on November 20, 2015, and responsive written submissions from ARM, Respondents, and the IA on December 1, 2015. No submissions were received from the public. Having examined the record of this investigation, including the ALJ’s final ID, the petitions, responses, and other submissions from the parties, the Commission has determined that ARM has not proven a violation of section 337 by Solofill and DongGuan. Specifically, the Commission has determined to modify the ID’s construction of ‘‘a needle-like structure, disposed below the base,’’ and, under the modified construction, affirms under modified reasoning the ID’s findings on infringement and the technical prong of the domestic industry requirement. The Commission has also determined to reverse the ID’s finding that Respondents are not liable for contributory and induced infringement. The Commission has further determined that that claims 5 and 6 of the ’320 patent are invalid as anticipated by Beaulieu and that claims 5–7, 18, and 20 of the ’320 patent are invalid for a lack of written description (Commissioner Kieff dissenting on written description). Additionally, the Commission has determined that Respondents have not shown that claims 7, 18, and 20 are invalid as anticipated or that claims 5– 7, 18, and 20 are invalid as obvious. Finally, the Commission has determined to affirm the ID’s findings on the economic prong. All other findings in the ID that are consistent with the Commission’s determinations are affirmed. The Commission also previously found 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)) met with respect to Eko Brands, Evermuch Technology, and Evermuch Company, and found these respondents in default. See ALJ Order No. 19, unreviewed Notice (May 18, 2015). The Commission has determined that the appropriate form of relief in this investigation is: (1) A limited exclusion order prohibiting the unlicensed entry of beverage brewing capsules, components thereof, and products containing same that are manufactured abroad by or on behalf of, or imported by or on behalf of, Eko Brands, Evermuch Technology, or Evermuch Company, that infringe one or more of claims 8 and 19 of the ’320 patent; (2) cease and desist orders prohibiting Eko Brands, Evermuch Technology, and Evermuch Company from importing, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:44 Mar 23, 2016 Jkt 238001 selling, marketing, advertising, distributing, transferring (except for exportation), soliciting United States agents or distributors, and aiding or abetting other entities in the importation, sale for importation, sale after importation, transfer (except for exportation), or distribution of beverage brewing capsules, components thereof, and products containing same that infringe one or more of claims 8 and 19 of the ’320 patent. 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 remedial orders. Finally, the Commission has determined that the bond during the period of Presidential review shall be in the amount of 100 percent of the entered value of the imported subject articles of Eko Brands, Evermuch Technology, and Evermuch Company. The Commission’s orders were delivered to the President and the United States Trade Representative on the day of their issuance. A Commission Opinion concerning the Commission’s finding of no violation by Solofill or DongGuan will issue shortly. 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).
