SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on June 5, 2018, based on a complaint filed by PTS. 83 FR 23087–88. The complaint alleges violations of section 337 in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale after importation within the United States after importation of certain blood cholesterol testing strips and associated systems containing the same by reason of infringement of one or more claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,625,721 (‘‘the ’721 patent’’); 7,625,721 (‘‘the ’721 patent’’); and 7,494,818 (‘‘the ’818 patent’’). Id. at 26087. The notice of investigation named as respondents ACON Laboratories, Inc. of San Diego, California, and ACON Biotech (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. of Hangzhou, China (collectively, ‘‘ACON’’). The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is not a party to the investigation. Id. at 26088. The Commission subsequently terminated the investigation with respect to claims 10, 13, 14, and 20 of the ’397 patent based on PTS’s withdrawal of those allegations. See Order. No. 7 (Sept. 10, 2018), not reviewed, Notice (Sept. 25, 2018); Order No. 10 (Jan. 31, 2019), not reviewed, Notice (Feb. 21, 2019). The Commission also terminated the investigation for infringement purposes with respect to claim 17 of the ’397 patent; claims 2, 3, 13, and 14 of the ’721 patent; and claim 10 of the ’818 patent based on PTS’s withdrawal of allegations. Order No. 14 (Feb. 14, 2019), not reviewed, Notice (Mar. 5, 2019). Finally, the Commission terminated the investigation with respect to claims 1–3, 5, and 18 of the ’397 patent and claims 5, 7, and 9 of the ’721 patent based on PTS’s withdrawal of allegations. Order No. 15 (Mar. 12, 2019), not reviewed, Notice (April 9, 2019). Accordingly, at the time of the Final ID, PTS asserted for infringement claim 19 of the ’397 patent; claims 1, 4, PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 42949 6, 8, and 15 of the ’721 patent; and claims 8, 9, and 11 of the ’818 patent. Final ID at 43. On February 13, 2019, the ALJ issued an initial determination granting a motion for summary determination that PTS established sufficient investments and activities with respect to the PTS articles protected by the asserted patents to satisfy the domestic industry requirement under section 337(a)(3)(A), (B), and (C) for each of three asserted patents. Order No. 13 (Feb. 13, 2019). No party petitioned for review of the ID, and the Commission declined to review the ID. Notice (Mar. 12, 2019). On June 4, 2019, the ALJ issued a final ID finding a violation of section 337 with respect to the ’397 and ’721 patents, and no violation with respect to the ’818 patent. The ID found that ACON infringed claim 19 of the ’397 patent and claims 1, 4, 6, 7, and 15 of the ’721 patent, but does not infringe claims 8, 9, and 11 of the ’818 patent. The ID also found that PTS showed that its domestic industry articles practice certain claims of each of the three asserted patents, and that no asserted claims are shown to be invalid by clear and convincing evidence. On June 17, 2019, ACON petitioned for review of the final ID with respect to the ’397 and ’721 patents, and contingently petitioned for review of the final ID with respect to the ’818 patent. PTS did not file a petition for review, and, on June 25, 2019, PTS filed a response to ACON’s petition. Having examined the record of this investigation, including the final ID, the petition for review, and the responses thereto, the Commission has determined to review the final ID in part. Specifically, the Commission has determined to review the following issues: (1) Whether ACON Laboratories, Inc.’s use of the accused products in the United States constitutes a violation of 19 U.S.C. 1337(a)(1)(B)(i); (2) the final ID’s construction of ‘‘reacting HDL . . . without precipitating said one or more non-selected analytes’’ in the ’721 patent, as well as related findings on infringement, the domestic industry, and invalidity; and (3) the final ID’s finding that all of the asserted claims of the ’721 patent are not shown to be invalid for a lack of enablement. The Commission has determined not to review any other findings presented in the final ID. The Commission has also determined to extend the target date for the completion of the investigation until October 21, 2019. In connection with its review, the Commission is interested in briefing on following issues: E:\FR\FM\19AUN1.SGM 19AUN1
