Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 175 / Monday, September 10, 2018 / Notices 45677 

18); Notice (May 31, 2017) (see Order 

No. 28). The remaining claims of the 

’336 patent were found to be not 

infringed. 83 FR 13517, 13519 (March 

29, 2018). 

The Commission’s Notice of 

Investigation named Techtronic 

Industries Co., Techtronic Industries 

North America, Inc., One World 

Technologies, Inc., and OWT Industries, 

Inc., and ET Technology (Wuxi) Co. 

(collectively ‘‘Respondents’’ or 

‘‘Techtronic’’) among the Respondents. 

Ryobi Technologies, Inc. was initially 

named as a Respondent, but was later 

terminated from this investigation on an 

unopposed motion. Notice (Nov. 7, 

2016) (see Order No. 6). The Office of 

Unfair Import Investigations is not a 

party to the investigation. 

On July 12–13, 2017, the ALJ held an 

evidentiary hearing on infringement, 

invalidity, domestic industry, and 

remedy with respect to the remaining 

’319 patent. On October 23, 2017, the 

ALJ issued his final initial 

determination (‘‘ID’’), in which he found 

the ’319 patent claims were not obvious 

and were infringed by Respondents’ 

accused GDOs. 83 FR at 13518 

(discussing ID at 130–41, 144, 151–212). 

The Commission determined not to 

review the ALJ’s infringement 

determination but limited its review to 

obviousness. 82 FR 61792 (Dec. 29, 

2017). The Commission ultimately 

affirmed the ALJ’s findings that the ’319 

patent claims were not obvious and 

Respondents were violating Section 337 

by way of infringement, and entered 

limited exclusion order (‘‘LEO’’) and 

cease-and-desist orders (‘‘CDOs’’) with 

certification provisions. 83 FR at 13517, 

13519; Commission Opinion at 1–2, 13– 

31, 35–36 (Mar. 23, 2018). The President 

did not disapprove of the Commission’s 

remedial orders. The Commission’s final 

determination is presently on appeal to 

the Federal Circuit. 

On August 2, 2018, Respondents filed 

a petition with the Commission to 

institute a modification proceeding to 

determine whether their allegedly 

redesigned garage door opener products 

infringe the ’319 patent that is the 

subject of the remedial orders issued in 

this investigation and for modification 

of those remedial orders to specify the 

status of those redesigned products. On 

August 13, 2018, Complainant filed its 

opposition to this Petition. On August 

22, 2018, Respondents filed a reply in 

support of their petition with an 

accompanying motion for leave to file a 

reply. On August 30, 2018, Respondents 

filed a motion for leave to file a second 

supplement to their petition for a 

modification proceeding. 

The Commission has determined that 

Respondents’ petition complies with the 

requirements for institution of a 

modification proceeding pursuant to 

Commission Rule 210.76. Accordingly, 

the Commission has determined to 

institute a modification proceeding and 

has delegated the proceeding to the 

Chief Administrative Law Judge to 

designate a presiding Administrative 

Law Judge. The presiding ALJ shall 

submit a recommended determination 

within six (6) months after publication 

of notice of this Order in the Federal 

Register. Chamberlain and Techtronic 

are named as parties to this proceeding. 

The Commission has further determined 

to deny Respondents’ motion for leave 

to file a reply and Respondents’ motion 

for leave to file a second supplement to 

their original petition. 

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).
