Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 220 / Wednesday, November 16, 2022 / Notices Commission found that Panduit’s imported articles were used by customers to directly infringe the asserted claims of the ’320, ’456, and ’153 patents at Panduit’s inducement. Id. The Commission issued, inter alia, a general exclusion order (‘‘GEO’’) and a cease and desist order (‘‘CDO’’) against Panduit and determined that a bond as set forth in the Orders was required during the period of Presidential review. 19 U.S.C. 1337(j)(3). On November 24, 2021, Corning filed a complaint requesting that the Commission institute an enforcement proceeding under Commission Rule 210.75, 19 CFR 210.75, to investigate alleged violations of the GEO and CDO by Panduit. The Commission instituted an enforcement proceeding on January 3, 2022. 87 FR 112 (Jan. 3, 2022). The original presiding ALJ set a 12-month target date of January 3, 2023, making the enforcement initial determination due on October 3, 2022. On June 21, 2022, the proceeding was reassigned to the Chief ALJ. On September 30, 2022, Corning and Panduit filed a joint motion to terminate based on a Settlement Agreement and Non-Exclusive Patent License. On October 17, 2022, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 46), granting the joint motion pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(b), 19 CFR 210.21(b). The ALJ found that the motion to terminate complies with the Commission’s rules, and there is no evidence that terminating the enforcement proceeding by settlement would be contrary to the public interest. No petitions for review of the ID were filed. The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The enforcement proceeding is terminated based on settlement. The Commission vote for this determination took place on November 9, 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. By order of the Commission. Issued: November 10, 2022. Katherine Hiner, Acting Secretary to the Commission.
