SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted the underlying 

investigation on May 11, 2006, based on 

a complaint, as amended, filed by Crocs, 

Inc. of Niwot, Colorado. 71 FR 27514– 

15 (May 11, 2006). The complaint 

alleged, inter alia, violations of section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), in the 

importation into the United States, the 

sale for importation, and the sale within 

the United States after importation of 

certain foam footwear, by reason of 

infringement of claims 1–2 of U.S. 

Patent No. 6,993,858 (‘‘the ’858 patent’’) 

and U.S. Patent No. D517,789 (‘‘the ’789 

patent’’). The notice of investigation 

named several respondents. 

On July 25, 2008, the Commission 

issued a final determination finding no 

violation of section 337 based on noninfringement and failure to satisfy the 

technical prong of the domestic industry 

requirement with respect to the ’789 

patent and based on invalidity of the 

’858 patent as obvious under 35 U.S.C. 

103. 73 FR 45073–74 (Aug. 1, 2008). On 

July 15, 2011, after an appeal to the U.S. 

Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit 

and subsequent remand vacating the 

Commission’s previous finding of no 

violation, the Commission found a 

violation of section 337 based on 

infringement of the asserted claims of 

the patents and issued, inter alia, a 

general exclusion order (‘‘GEO’’). 76 FR 

43723–24 (July 21, 2011). On March 28, 

2020, the ’789 patent expired, so the 

GEO is now only directed to articles that 

infringe one or more of claims 1 and 2 

of the ’858 patent. 

On November 17, 2021, nonrespondent, Triple T Trading Ltd. 

(‘‘Triple T’’) of Marysville, Washington, 

petitioned for institution of an 

expedited advisory opinion proceeding 

to determine whether its fleece-lined 

shoes and shoes with plastic washers 

are covered by the GEO. On November 

29, 2021, Crocs opposed Triple T’s 

petition for an expedited advisory 

opinion proceeding. On December 9, 

2021, Triple T filed a motion for leave 

to respond to Crocs’ opposition. The 

Commission granted that motion. 

On December 17, 2021, the 

Commission instituted an advisory 

opinion proceeding to determine 

whether Triple T’s fleece-lined shoes or 

shoes with plastic washers fall within 

the scope of the GEO. 86 FR 72992 (Dec. 

23, 2021). Concurrent with the notice, 

the Commission ordered supplemental 

information and product samples from 

Triple T. Comm’n Order (Dec. 17, 2021). 

On January 4, 2022, Triple T submitted 

its response to the Commission Order. 

Crocs did not reply to Triple T’s 

submission. 

Having considered the record 

evidence including the parties’ filings, 

the Commission has determined that 

Triple T’s fleece-lined shoes and shoes 

with permanent plastic washers that 

prevent all direct contact between the 

strap and the base of the shoe do not fall 

within the scope of the GEO and 

therefore should not be excluded. The 

reasons for the Commission’s 

determination are set forth in the 

accompanying Advisory Opinion, and 

the advisory opinion proceeding is 

hereby terminated. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on March 28, 

2022. 

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: March 28, 2022.
