SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on January 30, 2014, based on a 

complaint filed by Springfree 

Trampoline, Inc. of Markham, Canada, 

Springfree Trampoline USA Inc. of 

Markham, Canada, and Spring Free 

Limited Partnership of Markham, 

Canada (collectively, ‘‘Springfree’’). 79 

FR 4956 (Jan. 30, 2014). The complaint 

alleges violations of section 337 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 

U.S.C. 1337, in the importation, sale for 

importation, or sale within the United 

States after importation of certain softedged trampolines and components 

thereof by reason of infringement of 

claims 1 and 13 of U.S. Patent No. 

6,319,174 (‘‘the ’174 patent’’). Id. The 

notice of investigation names Vuly 

Trampolines Pty. Ltd. of Brisbane, 

Australia (‘‘Vuly’’) as the sole 

respondent. Id. at 4957. The Office of 

Unfair Import Investigations did not 

participate in the investigation. Id. 

On December 5, 2014, the 

administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued 

a final ID finding no violation of section 

337. On December 18, 2014, the ALJ 

issued a recommended determination 

(‘‘RD’’) on remedy and bonding. On 

December 22, 2014, Springfree and Vuly 

filed petitions for review challenging 

various findings in the final ID. On 

January 2, 2015, the parties filed 

responses. The Commission did not 

receive any post-RD public interest 

comments from the public or the 

parties. 

On February 5, 2015, the Commission 

determined to review the final ID in part 

and requested additional briefing from 

the parties on certain issues. The 

Commission also solicited briefing from 

the parties and the public on the issues 

of remedy, bonding, and the public 

interest. On February 19, 2015, the 

parties filed briefs addressing the 

Commission’s questions and the issues 

of remedy, bonding, and the public 

interest. On March 2, 2015, the parties 

filed reply briefs. 

Having examined the record of this 

investigation, including the ALJ’s final 

ID and submissions from the parties, the 

Commission has determined to affirm 

the ALJ’s determination of no violation. 

As explained more fully in the 

forthcoming Commission opinion, the 

Commission has determined to construe 

‘‘flexible mat’’ in the first instance, 

modify the ALJ’s construction of ‘‘first 

retaining means,’’ and affirm, but on 

modified grounds, the ALJ’s 

construction of ‘‘flexible elongated rod.’’ 

The Commission has determined to 

affirm, but on modified grounds, the 

ALJ’s findings that Vuly’s products 

infringe claim 13, that Springfree’s 

products practice claim 13, that claim 1 

is not invalid as anticipated by the prior 

art, that claim 13 is invalid as 

anticipated by the prior art, and that 

claims 1 and 13 are not invalid due to 

lack of enablement. The Commission 

has determined to reverse the ALJ’s 

findings that Vuly’s products infringe 

claim 1, that Springfree’s products do 

not practice claim 1, and that Springfree 

did not satisfy the technical prong of the 

domestic industry requirement as to 

claims 1 and 13. The Commission has 

determined to affirm the ALJ’s finding 

that Springfree did not satisfy the 

economic prong of the domestic 

industry requirement. The Commission 

has determined not to reach the issue of 

whether claim 13 is obvious. 

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: April 6, 2015. 

Lisa R. Barton, 

Secretary to the Commission.
