If, in response to this RFCI, BOEM receives two or more indications of competitive interest from qualified entities that wish to develop a commercial wind energy project in the RFCI Area, BOEM may decide to move forward with the competitive lease issuance process following the procedures set forth in 30 CFR 585.211. If so, BOEM may include the RFCI Area as part of the commercial leasing process for the Gulf of Maine (see ‘‘Purpose of this Request for Competitive Interest’’ section above). If BOEM receives only one indication of competitive interest, it may contact the respondent and ask if they wish to proceed with acquiring a commercial lease. However, if the respondent does not wish to proceed, BOEM may determine that there is no competitive interest in the RFCI Area and publish a Federal Register notice of Determination of No Competitive Interest. At that point, after appropriate environmental review and consultation, BOEM may decide to continue with issuance of a research lease to the State of Maine using the procedures set forth in 30 CFR 585.238. If BOEM issues a research lease, the State of Maine would be required to conduct any construction and operation activities on the research lease pursuant to a BOEM-approved plan. Regardless of whether BOEM decides to issue the research lease or to continue with the competitive lease issuance process, BOEM will consult and coordinate with relevant Federal agencies, affected Tribes, and affected state and local governments in issuing a lease; developing lease terms and conditions; and deciding whether to approve, disapprove, or approve with modifications any activities proposed on the lease. Environmental Review and Permitting Process Prior to issuing any lease or authorizing any construction activities on that lease, BOEM would conduct a site-specific environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act, during which it would act as the lead agency, coordinate with cooperating or consulting Federal agencies, and provide additional opportunities for public comment. BOEM would also participate in associated consultations under the VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:26 Aug 18, 2022 Jkt 256001 Coastal Zone Management Act, the ESA, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), Executive Order 13175, and other laws, regulations, and authorities determined necessary throughout the process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on July 5, 2019, based on a complaint filed by Ethicon LLC of Guaynabo, PR; Ethicon Endo-surgery, Inc. of Cincinnati, Ohio; and Ethicon US, LLC of Cincinnati, Ohio (collectively, ‘‘Ethicon’’). 84 FR 32220 (July 5, 2019); see also 84 FR 65174 (Nov. 26, 2019) (amending the caption). The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based on the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain reload cartridges for laparoscopic surgical staplers by reason of infringement of one or more claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,844,379 (‘‘the ’379 patent’’); 9,844,369; 7,490,749; 8,479,969; and 9,113,874. 84 FR at 32220. The Commission’s notice of investigation named the following as respondents: Intuitive Surgical Inc. of Sunnyvale, CA; Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. of Sunnyvale, CA; Intuitive Surgical Holdings, LLC of Sunnyvale, CA; and Intuitive Surgical S. De R.L. De C.V. of Mexicali, Mexico (collectively, ‘‘Intuitive’’). Id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations did not participate in this investigation. Id. On October 14, 2021, the Commission issued a final determination finding a violation of section 337 with respect to certain laparoscopic surgical staplers, reload cartridges, and components thereof that infringed certain claims of the ’379 patent. The Commission issued an LEO against respondents’ infringing articles and CDOs against Intuitive. The Commission concurrently suspended enforcement of those orders pending the final resolution of a Final Written Decision issued by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (‘‘PTAB’’) of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on March 26, 2021, finding all claims of the ’379 patent to be unpatentable. On May 23, 2022, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit PO 00000 Frm 00090 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 affirmed the PTAB’s Final Written Decision finding the claims of the ’379 patent unpatentable. Ethicon LLC v. Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Nos. 2021–1995, 2021–1997, 2022 WL 1613188 (Fed. Cir. May 23, 2022). The Federal Circuit issued its mandate in that appeal on June 29, 2022, and Ethicon has since indicated that it does not intend to seek further review of the decision. On July 18, 2022, Intuitive filed an unopposed petition to rescind the remedial orders as to the ’379 patent based on a change of the conditions that led to the Commission’s issuance of those orders, i.e., the Federal Circuit’s affirmance of the PTAB’s finding that the claims of the ’379 patent are unpatentable. No responses to the petition were filed. Having reviewed the petition and the Federal Circuit’s decision in Ethicon LLC v. Intuitive Surgical, Inc., the Commission finds that the conditions which led to the issuance of the remedial orders no longer exist, and therefore, granting the unopposed petition to rescind is warranted under section 337(k) (19 U.S.C. 1337(k)). The Commission also finds that the requirements of Commission Rule 210.76(a) (19 CFR 210.76(a)) are satisfied. Accordingly, the Commission has determined to institute a rescission proceeding and to grant the petition to rescind the remedial orders. The rescission proceeding is terminated. The Commission vote for this determination took place on August 15, 2022. 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).
