SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on March 4, 2024, based on a complaint 

filed by Optimum Communications 

Services, Inc. of Jersey City, New Jersey 

(‘‘Complainant’’). 89 FR 15611–12 (Mar. 

4, 2024). The complaint, as 

supplemented, alleges 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, or the sale within 

the United States after importation of 

certain network equipment supporting 

NETCONF by reason of infringement of 

certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 

10,567,474 and 10,848,546 (‘‘Asserted 

Patents’’). Id. The complaint further 

alleges that a domestic industry exists. 

Id. The Commission’s notice of 

investigation named as respondents: 

Changsha Silun Network Technology 

Co., Ltd. of Hunan, China; Hunan 

Maiqiang Network Technology 

Company Limited of Hunan, China; 

Hunan Zikun Information Technology 

Co., Ltd. of Hunan, China; and 

Guangzhou Qiton Electronics 

Technology Co., Ltd. of Guangdong, 

China (collectively, ‘‘Respondents’’). Id. 

OUII is participating as a party in this 

investigation. Id. 

On June 13, 2024, the Commission 

found the Respondents in default for 

failing to respond to the complaint, 

notice of investigation, or previous 

order to show cause (Order No. 8). 

Order No. 9, unreviewed by Comm’n 

Notice (June 13, 2024). 

On June 28, 2024, Complainant filed 

a motion for summary determination of 

violation and requested the issuance of 

a general exclusion order. On July 10, 

2024, OUII filed a confidential response 

opposing the summary determination 

motion. 

On September 19, 2024, the 

Commission determined not to review 

an initial determination declassifying 

OUII’s response to Complainant’s 

motion for summary determination and 

supporting memorandum. Order No. 13, 

unreviewed by, Comm’n Notice 

(September 20, 2024). 

On August 8, 2024, third party 

Xenogenic Development LLC 

(‘‘Xenogenic’’) filed a motion to 

intervene, stay the proceedings on the 

merits, and dismiss the investigation. 

On August 16, 2024, Complainant filed 

a response opposing the motion. On 

August 20, 2024, OUII filed a response 

in support of Xenogenic’s motion to 

intervene and for termination of the 

investigation but opposed a stay of the 

investigation. On August 23, 2024, 

Xenogenic filed a reply in support of its 

motion. On August 27, 2024, 

Complainant filed a sur-reply opposing 

the motion. 

On September 18, 2024, OUII filed a 

motion for summary determination 

arguing that Complainant cannot show 

that the accused products infringe the 

asserted claims of the Asserted Patents, 

and that the investigation should be 

terminated with a finding of no 

violation of section 337. On September 

26, 2024, Complainant filed an 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
99278 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 10, 2024 / Notices 

opposition to the motion. OUII filed its 

reply on October 1, 2024. 

On October 18, 2024, the ALJ issued 

Order No. 19 granting-in-part OUII’s 

motion for summary determination and 

finding no violation. On October 25, 

2024, Complainant filed a petition for 

review of the ID in Order No. 19. On 

November 1, 2024, OUII filed a response 

to Complainant’s petition for review of 

the ID in Order No. 19. 

On October 18, 2024, the ALJ also 

issued Order No. 20, asking the parties 

to brief whether the investigation 

should be terminated in its entirety and 

whether all remaining motions are moot 

and/or withdrawn in light of Order No. 

19. On October 28, 2024, Complainant 

responded to Order No. 20, opposing 

terminating the investigation. On 

October 28, 2024, OUII responded to 

Order No. 20 supporting termination of 

the investigation and Xenogenic 

responded requesting the ALJ to grant 

its motion to intervene. On November 4, 

2024, Complainant filed a reply 

regarding Order No. 20, opposing 

terminating the investigation. 

On November 8, 2024, the ALJ issued 

Order No. 23 granting Xenogenic’s 

motion to intervene and terminating the 

investigation. On November 9, 2024, 

Complainant filed a petition to review 

the ID in Order No. 23. On November 

18, 2024, OUII filed a response in 

opposition to Complainant’ petition to 

review of Order No. 23. 

Having considered the record in this 

investigation, including the complaint, 

the filings before the ALJ and the 

Commission, the Commission has 

determined to review Order No. 19. On 

review, the Commission affirms Order 

No. 19 finding no infringement of the 

asserted patents with the following 

supplementation: (1) on page 18 of the 

ID, the Commission supplements the 

citation to 19 CFR 210.18(a)–(b) to also 

include 19 CFR 210.18(c); and (2) on 

page 26 of the ID, the Commission adds 

a citation to Exhibit 14 of OUII’s motion 

for summary determination, which is 

RFC 7950 entitled ‘‘The YANG 1.1 Data 

Modeling Language’’ (in addition to 

already cited Exhibits 13, 15, and 16 

from OUII’s motion for summary 

determination). 

The Commission has further 

determined to review and vacate Order 

No. 23. Order No. 19 finds that there is 

no infringement of the Asserted Patents 

and that no violation of section 337 has 

occurred. Affirmance of Order No. 19 

would result in termination of the 

investigation, and thereby, the 

Commission finds that as of the time of 

issuance of Order No. 23 the 

investigation was already pending 

before the Commission. However, the 

Commission has determined to grant 

third party Xenogenic’s motion to 

intervene for the limited purpose of 

addressing ownership of the Asserted 

Patents. Regardless of ownership, the 

Commission’s finding of no 

infringement results in a finding of no 

violation and the investigation is 

terminated. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on December 

4, 2024. 

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: December 4, 2024.

Secretary to the Commission.
