AGENCY: U.S. International Trade

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) has 

determined to institute an advisory 

opinion proceeding, as requested by 

respondents Nortek Security & Control, 

LLC of Carlsbad, California; Nortek, Inc. 

of Providence, Rhode Island; and GTO 

Access Systems, LLC of Tallahassee, 

Florida (collectively, ‘‘Nortek’’). The 

Commission has further determined to 

set a target date of six months from the 

date of institution for completion of this 

proceeding, and to refer this matter to 

the Chief Administrative Law Judge 

(‘‘CALJ’’) for assignment to an 

administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) for 

appropriate proceedings and a 

recommendation, to be completed 

within four months from the date of 

institution.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on June 11, 2018, based on a complaint, 

as supplemented, filed by The 

Chamberlain Group, Inc. (‘‘CGI’’) of Oak 

Brook, Illinois. 83 FR 27020–21 (June 

11, 2018). The complaint alleges that 

Nortek violated section 337 of the Tariff 

Act, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 

(‘‘Section 337’’) by importing, selling for 

importation, or selling in the United 

States after importation certain movable 

barrier operator (‘‘MBO’’) systems, 

including garage door openers 

(‘‘GDOs’’), that allegedly infringe one or 

more of the asserted claims of U.S. 

Patent Nos. 7,755,223 (‘‘the ’223 

patent’’), 8,587,404 (‘‘the ’404 patent’’), 

and 6,741,052 (‘‘the ’052 patent’’). Id. 

The Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations was not named as a party 

to this investigation. Id. 

On December 12, 2018, CGI filed an 

opposed motion for summary 

determination that it satisfied the 

economic prong of the domestic 

industry requirement. On June 6, 2019, 

the presiding ALJ issued a notice 

advising the parties that the motion 

would be granted and a formal written 

order would follow. Order No. 26 (June 

6, 2019). 

On November 25, 2019, the ALJ 

issued Order No. 38, granting CGI’s 

motion for summary determination that 

its investments in labor and capital were 

‘‘significant’’ and satisfied the economic 

prong of the domestic industry 

requirement under 19 U.S.C. 

1337(a)(3)(B). Order No. 38 (Nov. 25, 

2019). Order No. 38 denied summary 

determination with respect to CGI’s 

investments in plant and equipment 

under 19 U.S.C. 1337(a)(3)(A). Id. 

On the same date, the ALJ issued the 

final Initial Determination on Violation 

of Section 337 (‘‘Final ID’’) and 

Recommended Determination on 

Remedy and Bond (‘‘RD’’), finding no 

violation of Section 337 because the 

asserted claims of the ’223 and ’404 

patents are not infringed and the 

asserted claim of the ’052 patent is 

invalid. 

On February 19, 2020, the 

Commission issued a notice of its 

determination to review Order No. 38 

and to partially review the Final ID with 

respect to certain issues relating to each 

of the three asserted patents. 85 FR 

10723–26 (Feb. 25, 2020). 

On April 22, 2020, the Commission 

affirmed there is no violation with 

respect to the ’404 and ’052 patents. 

Comm’n Notice at 3 (April 22, 2020). 

The Commission also vacated Order No. 

38 and remanded the economic prong 

issue to the presiding ALJ for further 

proceedings, while the Commission 

continued to review issues relating to 

the ’223 patent. Id.; Order Vacating and 

Remanding Order No. 38 (April 22, 

2020) (‘‘Remand Order’’). 

On July 10, 2020, the ALJ issued a 

Remand Initial Determination (‘‘Remand 

ID’’), finding that CGI made significant 

investments in plant and equipment and 

labor and capital sufficient to satisfy the 

economic prong of the domestic 

industry requirement under both 

Sections 337(a)(3)(A) and (B) (19 U.S.C. 

1337(a)(3)(A), (B)), respectively. 

Remand ID (July 10, 2020). On 

September 9, 2020, the Commission 

determined to review the Remand ID. 85 

FR 57249–51 (Sept. 15, 2020). 

On December 3, 2020, the 

Commission determined that Nortek 

violated Section 337 by way of 

infringing claims 1 and 21 of the ’223 

patent. The Commission issued a 

limited exclusion order and cease and 

desist orders against Nortek and 

imposed a bond in the amount of 100 

percent of the entered value of the 

covered products during the period of 

Presidential review. 

On December 18, 2020, Nortek filed 

the subject request for an advisory 

opinion that GDOs that allegedly 

operate their obstacle detectors at a 

constant energy level do not infringe 

asserted claims 1 or 21 of the ’223 

patent, and thus are not covered by the 

remedial orders. CGI filed its opposition 

to Nortek’s request on December 30, 

2020. 

On January 7, 2021, Nortek filed a 

motion seeking leave to file a reply to 

CGI’s opposition. On January 11, 2021, 

CGI opposed Nortek’s motion. The 

Commission has determined to deny 

Nortek’s motion. 

Having reviewed the parties’ 

submissions in view of the record 

below, the Commission has determined 

to institute an advisory opinion 

proceeding, per Nortek’s request, to 

ascertain whether GDOs that allegedly 

operate their obstacle detectors at a 

constant energy level infringe asserted 

claims 1 or 21 of the ’223 patent and are 

covered by the remedial orders issued in 

this investigation. The Commission has 

determined to refer the matter to the 

CALJ for assignment to an ALJ for 

appropriate proceedings and a 

recommendation. The ALJ shall conduct 

any appropriate proceedings and issue 

an initial advisory opinion within four 

months from the date that the 

Commission’s notice to conduct the 

proceeding is published in the Federal 

Register. The target date shall be two 

months thereafter. The ALJ may extend 

the target date, allowing two months for 

Commission review, for good cause. 

The Commission voted to approve 

these determinations on January 19, 

2021. 

The authority for the Commission’s 

determinations is contained in Section 

7106 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 26, 2021 / Notices 

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.
