SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted the underlying 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 notice of investigation 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, 19 CFR 210.76, to suspend the remedial orders issued in this investigation based on a settlement agreement between Cisco and Arista. Specifically, Cisco requested that the Commission suspend the remedial orders subject to Arista’s continued compliance with settlement provisions relating to the removal of certain PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 4103 features from its redesigned products. Neither Arista nor OUII filed a response. On October 22, 2018, the Commission instituted this modification proceeding and requested briefing from the parties on their positions regarding modification of the existing remedial orders to expressly exempt the Arista redesigned products from the scope of the remedial orders. 83 FR 54137 (October 26, 2018). The parties filed their initial submissions on November 1, 2018. On November 8, 2018, Cisco and Arista filed responsive submissions. Having considered Cisco’s petition and the briefing from the parties, the Commission has determined not to suspend the remedial orders as requested by Cisco. The Commission has only suspended or temporarily rescinded its orders in very limited circumstances involving adjudication in other tribunals. The Commission has considered the parties’ filings and declines to extend the rare circumstances in which it suspends or temporarily rescinds its remedial orders to the circumstances presented in this investigation. For various reasons, the redesigned products are not currently being excluded under the limited exclusion order. The private parties are not precluded from filing a future petition requesting that the Commission modify its remedial orders including to exempt the redesigned products. 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted the underlying 
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 notice of investigation 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, 19 CFR 210.76, to suspend the remedial orders issued in 
this investigation based on a settlement agreement between Cisco and 
Arista. Specifically, Cisco requested that the Commission suspend the 
remedial orders subject to Arista's continued compliance with 
settlement provisions relating to the removal of certain features from 
its redesigned products. Neither Arista nor OUII filed a response.
    On October 22, 2018, the Commission instituted this modification 
proceeding and requested briefing from the parties on their positions 
regarding modification of the existing remedial orders to expressly 
exempt the Arista redesigned products from the scope of the remedial 
orders. 83 FR 54137 (October 26, 2018). The parties filed their initial 
submissions on November 1, 2018. On November 8, 2018, Cisco and Arista 
filed responsive submissions.
    Having considered Cisco's petition and the briefing from the 
parties, the Commission has determined not to suspend the remedial 
orders as requested by Cisco. The Commission has only suspended or 
temporarily rescinded its orders in very limited circumstances 
involving adjudication in other tribunals. The Commission has 
considered the parties' filings and declines to extend the rare 
circumstances in which it suspends or temporarily rescinds its remedial 
orders to the circumstances presented in this investigation. For 
various reasons, the redesigned products are not currently being 
excluded under the limited exclusion order.
    The private parties are not precluded from filing a future petition 
requesting that the Commission modify its remedial orders including to 
exempt the redesigned products.
    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).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: February 8, 2019.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
