Senior Executive Service; Appointment of Members to the Performance Review Board, 71378-71379 [2023-22745]

Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 71378 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 198 / Monday, October 16, 2023 / Notices Hesai filed petitions for inter partes review before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board with respect to two of the patents at issue in this investigation. On September 14, 2023, Hesai and OUII filed their responses to Ouster’s notice of recent developments. The Commission has determined to review and, on review, to affirm the subject ID with modification. In particular, the Commission strikes the ‘‘wholly groundless’’ legal standard discussion and analysis at pages 11–12 and 16 of the subject ID, including the following statements: (1) ‘‘[T]he ALJ then must make a secondary inquiry to determine whether the assertion of arbitrability is ‘wholly groundless.’ If it is determined that the assertion of arbitrability is not ‘wholly groundless.’ ’’ ID at 11. (2) ‘‘Therefore, Hesai’s claim for arbitration is not ‘wholly groundless.’ ’’ ID at 11–12. (3) ‘‘In other words, the demand for arbitration is ‘not wholly groundless.’ ’’ ID at 16. The Supreme Court previously overruled the ‘‘wholly groundless’’ exception, holding that ‘‘[w]hen the parties’ contract delegates the arbitrability question to an arbitrator, a court may not override the contract . . . even if the court thinks that the argument that the arbitration agreement applies to a particular dispute is wholly groundless . . . In sum, we reject the ‘wholly groundless’ exception.’’ Henry Schein, Inc. v. Archer & White Sales, Inc., 139 S. Ct. 524, 529– 31 (2019). The Commission also addresses a typographical error at page 10 of the subject ID by modifying ‘‘See id. at ¶ 9.5’’ to state ‘‘See id. at ¶ 9.4.’’ This is a citation for the sentence in the subject ID that states ‘‘[t]he Choice of Law for purposes of construing the Settlement Agreement is designated as California law,’’ and Section 9.4 of the Settlement Agreement on ‘‘Governing Law’’ is the section that determines the choice of law for the Settlement Agreement. With regard to Ouster’s notice of recent developments, the Commission finds that, under the facts of this investigation, Hesai’s separately filed inter partes review petitions do not prevent the Commission from determining that the investigation must be terminated in favor of arbitration. The Commission also notes that the Settlement Agreement provides that ‘‘either Party shall have the right to challenge the validity and enforceability of any Patent in defense to a suit or assertion of a claim relating to any such Patent that is brought against a Party or alleging infringement by a Licensee Product or a Velodyne Product.’’ Settlement Agreement section 3.4 (‘‘Contesting Validity’’). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:03 Oct 13, 2023 Jkt 262001 The investigation is terminated. The Commission vote for this determination took place on October 10, 2023. 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: October 11, 2023. Lisa Barton, Secretary to the Commission.
