See 81 FR 38735–6 (June 14, 2016). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), based upon the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain L-tryptophan, Ltryptophan products, and their methods of production, by reason of infringement of certain claims of the ’655 patent and the ’373 patent (collectively, ‘‘the asserted patents’’).

See Order No. 18, unreviewed, Comm’n Notice (May 17, 2017). On August 11, 2017, the ALJ issued his final initial determination (‘‘FID’’) finding no violation of section 337. Specifically, the FID finds that: (1) Respondents’ accused products do not infringe the asserted claims of the ’373 or the ’655 patents either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents; (2) claim 10 of the ’373 patent is invalid for indefiniteness and lack of written description; (3) claim 20 of the ’655 patent is invalid for lack of written description; and (4) Complainants’ products do not satisfy the technical prong of the domestic industry requirement with respect to the ’655 or the ’373 patents. In addition, the ALJ issued a Recommended Determination (‘‘RD’’) recommending, should the Commission find a section 337 violation, that the Commission issue: (1) A limited exclusion order against Respondents’ accused products; and (2) a cease and desist order against Respondent CJ America. The RD further SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00068 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 60763 recommends no bond during the Presidential review period. On August 14, 2017, the Commission issued a Notice requesting written submissions on the public interest. See 82 FR 39456–57 (Aug. 18, 2017). On September 20, 2017, Respondents filed a written submission in response to the Commission’s August 14, 2017 Notice. No other submissions were received. On October 12, 2017, the Commission issued a Notice determining to review the FID in its entirety. See 82 FR 48528– 29 (Oct. 18, 2017). The October 12, 2017 Notice requested briefing in response to certain questions relating to the FID’s finding of no section 337 violation. See id. In addition, the October 12, 2017 Notice solicited written submissions on issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding. See id. On October 27, 2017, the parties filed written submissions in response to the October 12, 2017 Notice, and on November 3, 2017, the parties filed responses to each other’s submissions. Having examined the record of this investigation, including the FID, the RD, and the parties’ submissions, the Commission has determined to: (1) Reverse the FID’s finding that the accused products do not infringe claim 10 of the ’373 patent; (2) reverse the FID’s finding that the domestic industry requirement is not satisfied for the ’373 patent. (3) Reverse the FID’s finding that claim 10 of the ’373 patent is invalid under 35 U.S.C. 112, second paragraph, for indefiniteness; (4) reverse the FID’s finding that claim 10 of the ’373 patent is invalid under 35 U.S.C. 112, first paragraph, for lack of written description; (5) affirm the FID’s finding that claim 10 of the ’373 patent is not invalid under 35 U.S.C. 112, first paragraph, for lack of enablement; (6) affirm the FID’s finding that claim 10 of the ’373 patent is not invalid under 35 U.S.C. 103 for obviousness; (7) affirm in part and reverse in part the FID’s finding that the accused products do not infringe claim 20 of the ’655 patent; (8) reverse the FID’s finding that the domestic industry requirement is not satisfied for the ’655 patent. (9) Affirm the FID’s finding that claim 20 of the ’655 patent is not invalid under 35 U.S.C. 112, second paragraph, for indefiniteness. (10) Reverse the FID’s finding that claim 20 of the ’655 patent is invalid under 35 U.S.C. 112, first paragraph, for lack of written description; and (11) affirm all other findings in the FID that are not inconsistent with the Commission’s determination.
