persons are advised that information on
this matter can be obtained by

terminal on (202) 205–1810.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on April 25, 2017, based on a complaint,
as supplemented, filed by Ivoclar
Vivadent AG of Schaan, Liechtenstein;
Ivoclar Vivadent, Inc. of Amherst, New
York; and Ardent, Inc. of Amherst, New
York (collectively ‘‘Ivoclar’’). 82 FR
19081 (Apr. 25, 2017). The complaint,
as supplemented, alleged violations of
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), in the
importation into the United States, the
sale for importation, or the sale within
the United States after importation of
certain dental ceramics, products
thereof, and methods of making the
same by reason of the infringement of
certain claims of four United States
patents: U.S. Patent No. 7,452,836 (‘‘the
’836 patent’’); U.S. Patent No. 6,517,623
(‘‘the ’623 patent’’); U.S. Patent No.
6,802,894 (‘‘the ’894 patent’’); and U.S.
Patent No. 6,455,451 (‘‘the ’451 patent’’).
The notice of investigation named as
respondents GC Corporation of Tokyo,
Japan; and GC America, Inc. of Alsip,
Illinois (collectively, ‘‘GC’’). The Office
of Unfair Import Investigations was also
named as a party.
Earlier in proceedings, the
investigation was terminated as to
certain asserted patent claims, including
all of the asserted claims of the ’623
patent and the ’451 patent, based upon
withdrawal of the complaint. Order No.
18 (Nov. 21, 2017), not reviewed, Notice
(Dec. 6, 2017); Order No. 24 (Dec. 19,
2017), not reviewed, Notice (Jan. 18,
2017); Order No. 51 (Feb. 22, 2018), not
reviewed, Notice (Mar. 23, 2018); Order
No. 56 (Mar. 28, 2018), not reviewed,
Notice (Apr. 27, 2018).
On July 23, 2018, the ALJ issued the
final initial determination (‘‘ID’’).
Remaining within the scope of the
investigation, as to infringement,
domestic industry, or both, were claims
1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, 15–19, and 21 of
the ’836 patent; and claims 1, 2, 4, 16–
21, 34, 36 and 38 of the ’894 patent. The
ID finds, inter alia, that Ivoclar failed to
demonstrate infringement of the abovereferenced claims of the ’836 patent.
The ID finds, inter alia, that claims 36
and 38 (‘‘the ’894 flexure strength
claims’’) are invalid as indefinite under
35 U.S.C. 112 ¶ 2. The ID further finds
that Ivoclar failed to demonstrate
infringement and failed to meet the
technical prong of the domestic industry
requirement as to the remaining claims
of the ’894 patent (claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 7,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:07 Dec 21, 2018
Jkt 247001
9, 10, 13, 15–19, and 21) (‘‘the ’894
annealing claims’’). The ID finds that
some, but not all, of the ’894 annealing
claims are invalid in view of certain
prior art.
After the issuance of the ID, the
Commission solicited comments from
the public concerning remedy and the
public interest. On September 13, 2018,
Representative Brian Higgins (R–N.Y.)
filed comments in support of his
constituent Ivoclar, whose headquarters
is in Western New York. Letter from
Rep. Brian Higgins to Chairman David
S. Johanson at 1 (Sept. 13, 2018). In
addition, Ivoclar, GC, and the
Commission investigative attorney filed
petitions for review and replies to the
other parties’ petitions.
On September 21, 2018, the
Commission issued its notice of review.
By that notice, the Commission
determined not to review the ID with
respect to the ’836 patent and the ’894
flexure strength claims, thereby
terminating the investigation as to those
patent claims. The Commission
determined to review the ID’s findings
as to the ’894 annealing claims and
solicited further briefing from the
parties on certain issues concerning
those patent claims. The Commission
also solicited briefing from the parties,
interested government agencies, and
members of the public on remedy, the
public interest, and bonding. No nonparties filed such briefing. On October
5, 2018, the parties filed opening briefs
in response to the Commission notice of
review, and on October 12, 2018, the
parties filed reply briefs.
Having reviewed the record of the
investigation, including the final ID, the
parties’ petitions for review and
responses thereto, and the parties’
briefing to the Commission, the
Commission has determined to affirm,
with modified reasoning, the ID’s
conclusion that Ivoclar failed to
demonstrate infringement of the ’894
annealing claims. The Commission has
also determined to affirm, with
modified reasoning, the ID’s finding that
claims 1, 2, and 34 of the ’894 patent are
anticipated by U.S. Patent No. 4,189,325
(Barrett) (RX–27). The Commission has
determined to take no position as to
whether International Patent
Application WO 00/34196 (‘‘WO196’’)
(RX–563) invalidates any of the ’894
annealing claims or whether the
technical prong of the domestic industry
requirement was met for the ’894 patent.
The Commission has determined to
affirm the ID’s remaining findings
concerning the ’894 annealing claims.
Accordingly, the Commission
terminates the investigation with
respect to the ’894 annealing claims,

and thereby the investigation in its
entirety, with a finding of no violation
of section 337. The reasons for the
Commission’s determinations are set
forth more fully in the Commission’s
accompanying opinion.
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).
Issued: December 18, 2018.
By order of the Commission.

Secretary to the Commission.

4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: On June 20, 2012, the
Department of Justice published a Final
Rule to adopt national standards to
prevent, detect, and respond to sexual
abuse in confinement settings pursuant
to the Prison Rape Elimination Act of
2003 (PREA) 42 U.S.C. 15601 et seq.
These national standards, which went
into effect on August 20, 2012, require
covered facilities to retain certain
specified information relating to sexual
abuse prevention planning, responsive
planning, education and training,
investigations and to collect and retain
certain specified information relating to
allegations of sexual abuse within the
facility. Covered facilities include:

million in the first year of full

collection: The estimated public burden
hours associated with this collection is
