SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 6, 2017, the Commission
instituted this investigation based on a
complaint filed by Bio-Rad Laboratories,
Inc. of Hercules, California (‘‘Bio-Rad’’)
and Lawrence Livermore National
Security, LLC of Livermore, California
(collectively, ‘‘Complainants’’). 82 FR
42115 (Sept. 6, 2017). Complainants
alleged a violation of section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19
U.S.C. 1337 (‘‘section 337’’), by 10X
Genomics, Inc. of Pleasanton, California
(‘‘10X’’) based on its importation into
the United States of certain microfluidic
devices asserted to infringe one or more
claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,500,664;
9,636,682; 9,649,635; and 9,126,160. Id.
The Office of Unfair Import
Investigations was also named as a party
in this investigation. Id. The
Commission also directed the ALJ to
take evidence and hear arguments
regarding the public interest and
provide the Commission with findings
of fact and a recommended
determination on the statutory public
interest factors, as requested by 10X. Id.
On September 20, 2018, the presiding
administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued
a final initial determination finding that
10X violated section 337 through its
importation of its GEM–Q and GEM–U
Chips (collectively, the ‘‘GEM Chips’’).
However, the ALJ found no violation by
10X based on its importation of its Chip
SE or Chip GB.
On September 28, 2018, the ALJ
issued a recommended determination
on remedy, bonding, and the public
interest (the ‘‘RD’’). The ALJ
recommended that, if the Commission
finds a violation of section 337, it
should issue a limited exclusion order
(‘‘LEO’’) against infringing microfluidic
devices, which are imported, sold for
importation, and/or sold after
importation by 10X. The LEO would
prevent the importation by 10X of
microfluidic devices that infringe
Complainants’ asserted patents. The ALJ
further recommended that, if the
Commission finds a violation of section
337, it should issue a cease and desist
order (‘‘CDO’’) against 10X. The CDO
would prevent the transfer by 10X to
others of microfluidic devices that
infringe Complainants’ asserted patents.
The ALJ found that ‘‘the public interest
factors weigh in favor of imposition of
the recommended remedial orders.’’ RD
at 30.
On December 4, 2018, the
Commission determined to review the
ALJ’s findings as to the GEM Chips, the
Chip SE, and the Chip GB. 83 FR 63672
(Dec. 11, 2018). The Commission also
requested briefing from the parties,
interested government agencies, and
other interested persons on remedy, the
public interest, and bonding. Id.
On June 10, 2019, the Commission
issued another notice, which requested
supplemental information from the
parties, interested government agencies,
and other interested persons on the
public interest. 84 FR 27802 (June 14,
2019). The Commission’s notice
requested that the parties file their
opening submissions by June 24, 2019,
and their reply submissions by July 1,
2019. The Commission’s notice also
requested that interested government
agencies and other interested persons
file their comments by July 1, 2019.
To ensure the opportunity to respond
to comments from interested
government agencies and other
interested persons, the Commission has
determined to modify the briefing
schedule to provide for reply
submissions by July 15, 2019.
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).
