SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted the investigation on January 27, 2015, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Cisco Systems, Inc. (‘‘Cisco’’) of San Jose, California. 80 FR 4314–15 (Jan. 27, 2015). The complaint alleges violations of section 337 based upon the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain network devices, related software and components thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,162,537 (‘‘the ’537 patent’’); U.S. Patent No. 8,356,296; U.S. Patent No. 7,290,164 (‘‘the ’164 patent’’); U.S. Patent No. 7,340,597; U.S. Patent No. 6,741,592 (‘‘the ’592 patent’’); and U.S. Patent No. 7,200,145, and alleges that an industry in the United States exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337. The complaint named Arista Networks, Inc. (‘‘Arista’’) of Santa Clara, California as the respondent. A Commission investigative attorney (‘‘OUII’’) is participating in the investigation. On June 23, 2016, the Commission found that a Section 337 violation had occurred as to the ’537, ’592, and ’145 patents and therefore issued a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order against Arista. 81 FR 42375–76 (June 29, 2016). On August 28, 2018, Cisco filed a petition pursuant to Commission Rule 210.76 to suspend the remedial orders issued in this investigation based on a settlement agreement between Cisco and Arista. Neither Arista nor OUII filed a response. On September 21, 2018, the Commission extended the time for determining whether to institute the requested proceeding until October 22, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted the investigation 
on January 27, 2015, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Cisco 
Systems, Inc. (``Cisco'') of San Jose, California. 80 FR 4314-15 (Jan. 
27, 2015). The complaint alleges violations of section 337 based upon 
the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and 
the sale within the United States after importation of certain network 
devices, related software and components thereof by reason of 
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,162,537 (``the '537 
patent''); U.S. Patent No. 8,356,296; U.S. Patent No. 7,290,164 (``the 
'164 patent''); U.S. Patent No. 7,340,597; U.S. Patent No. 6,741,592 
(``the '592 patent''); and U.S. Patent No. 7,200,145, and alleges that 
an industry in the United States exists as required by subsection 
(a)(2) of section 337. The complaint named Arista Networks, Inc. 
(``Arista'') of Santa Clara, California as the respondent. A Commission 
investigative attorney (``OUII'') is participating in the 
investigation.
    On June 23, 2016, the Commission found that a Section 337 violation 
had occurred as to the '537, '592, and '145 patents and therefore 
issued a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order against 
Arista. 81 FR 42375-76 (June 29, 2016).
    On August 28, 2018, Cisco filed a petition pursuant to Commission 
Rule 210.76 to suspend the remedial orders issued in this investigation 
based on a settlement agreement between Cisco and Arista. Neither 
Arista nor OUII filed a response.
    On September 21, 2018, the Commission extended the time for 
determining whether to institute the requested proceeding until October 
22, 2018.
    The Commission has determined that Cisco's request complies with 
the requirements for institution of a modification proceeding under 
Commission Rule 210.76 due to changed circumstances. Accordingly, the 
Commission has determined to institute a modification proceeding. The 
Commission sets the target date for completion of the modification 
proceeding as 90 days after publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register.
    The Commission requests that the parties brief the following issue:

    1. Given the parties' representations (1) that they have entered 
into a binding settlement wherein Arista must ``maintain the 
modifications it has made to its current products for sale in the 
United States,'' Pet. at 1, Exh. A at 9; and (2) that ``Commission 
Rule 210.76 permits modifications of Commission remedial orders'' 
based on settlement, Pet. at 2, please discuss your position 
regarding modification of the existing remedial orders to expressly 
exempt the Arista redesigned products from the scope of the remedial 
orders.

    The parties are requested to brief the discrete issue identified 
above, with reference to the applicable law. The parties are requested 
to submit proposed remedial orders, which exempt the redesigned 
products, for the Commission's consideration.
    Written Submissions: The parties to the investigation are requested 
to file written submissions on the issues identified in this notice. 
The written submissions and proposed remedial orders must be filed no 
later than close of business on November 1, 2018. Reply submissions

Reply submissions are limited to 7 pages. No further submissions will 
be permitted unless otherwise ordered by the Commission.
