SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 provides 

that, if the Commission finds a 

violation, it shall exclude the articles 

concerned from the United States: 

unless, after considering the effect of such 

exclusion upon the public health and 

welfare, competitive conditions in the United 

States economy, the production of like or 

directly competitive articles in the United 

States, and United States consumers, it finds 

that such articles should not be excluded 

from entry. 

19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(1). A similar 

provision applies to cease and desist 

orders. 19 U.S.C. 1337(f)(1). 

The Commission is soliciting 

submissions on public interest issues 

raised by the recommended relief 

should the Commission find a violation, 

specifically: A general exclusion order 

directed to certain toner supply 

containers and components thereof that 

are imported, sold for importation, and/ 

or sold after importation that infringe 

one or more of claims 1, 6, 7, 12, 25, and 

26 of U.S. Patent No. 8,565,649; claims 

1, 4, and 5 of U.S. Patent No. 9,354,551;

further development of the record on 

the public interest in this investigation. 

Accordingly, members of the public are

attachments, concerning the public 

interest in light of the ACALJ’s 

recommended relief set forth in the 

initial determination issued in this 

investigation on February 11, 2022. 

Comments should address whether 

issuance of the recommended remedial 

orders in this investigation, should the 

Commission find a violation, would 

affect the public health and welfare in 

the United States, competitive 

conditions in the United States 

economy, the production of like or 

directly competitive articles in the 

United States, or United States 

consumers. 

In particular, the Commission is 

interested in comments that: 

(i) Explain how the articles 

potentially subject to the recommended 

remedial orders are used in the United 

States; 

(ii) identify any public health, safety, 

or welfare concerns in the United States

competitive articles that complainants, 

their licensees, or third parties make in 

the United States which could replace 

the subject articles if they were to be 

excluded; 

(iv) indicate whether complainants, 

complainants’ licensees, and/or thirdparty suppliers have the capacity to 

replace the volume of articles 

potentially subject to the recommended 

orders within a commercially 

reasonable time; and 

(v) explain how the recommended 

orders would impact consumers in the 

United States.
