interest to conserve the parties’ and the 

Commission’s resources. 

On October 28, 2014, the ALJ issued 

the subject ID, granting the parties’ 

motion and terminating the 

investigation. The ALJ found that the 

motion complied with the 

Commission’s rules and that terminating 

the investigation was in the public 

interest. No petitions of the ID were 

filed. 

The Commission has determined not 

to review the subject ID. This 

determination terminates the 

investigation, and renders moot the 

ALJ’s initial determination on Monster’s 

inequitable conduct defense. See Order 

No. 15 (Oct. 6, 2014). 

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). 

Issued: November 10, 2014. 

By order of the Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted Inv. No. 337– 

TA–861 on November 16, 2012, based 

on a complaint filed by Speculative 

Product Design, LLC of Mountain View, 

California (‘‘Speck’’). 77 FR 68828 (Nov. 

16, 2012). The complaint alleged 

violations of section 337 of the Tariff 

Act of 1930 (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 cases for portable electronic 

devices by reason of infringement of 

various claims of United States Patent 

No. 8,204,561 (‘‘the ’561 patent’’). The 

complaint named several respondents. 

The Commission instituted Inv. No. 

337–TA–867 on January 31, 2013, based 

on a complaint filed by Speck. 78 FR 

6834 (Jan. 31, 2013). That complaint 

also alleged violations of section 337 of 

the Tariff Act of 1930 (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 cases for portable 

electronic devices by reason of 

infringement of various claims of the 

’561 patent. The complaint named 

several respondents. On January 31, 

2013, the Commission consolidated the 

two investigations. Id. 

All the participating respondents 

were terminated from the consolidated 

investigations as a result of settlement 

agreements, consent motion 

stipulations, or withdrawal of the 

complaint as to them. A number of the 

named respondents defaulted. On 

February 21, 2014, the ALJ issued his 

final initial determination finding a 

violation of section 337 as to claims 4, 

5, 9, and 11 of the ’561 patent by the 

defaulting respondents and 

recommended issuance of a general 

exclusion order (‘‘GEO’’). Based on 

evidence of a pattern of violation and 

difficulty ascertaining the source of the 

infringing produces, the Commission 

agreed with the ALJ and issued a GEO 

directed to cases for portable electronic 

devices that infringe one of claims 4, 5, 

9, and 11 of the ’561 patent. 

On September 4, 2014, Otter Products, 

LLC of Fort Collins, Colorado (‘‘Otter’’) 

filed a request with the Commission 

asking for institution of an advisory 

opinion proceeding to declare that its 

Symmetry Series Products are not 

covered by the general exclusion order. 

On October 1, 2014, complainant Speck 

filed an opposition to Otter’s request. 

On October 22, 2014, the Commission 

determined to institute advisory 

proceedings to determine whether 

Otter’s Symmetry Series products 

infringe one or more of claims 4, 5, 9, 

and 11 of the ’561 patent. On October 

24, 2014, Otter filed a motion to 

withdraw its request for an advisory 

opinion. Notice of the proceeding was 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 28, 2014. 79 FR. 64214–15 (Oct. 

28, 2014). 

The Commission has determined to 

grant Otter’s request and has terminated 

the advisory proceeding. 

The authority for the Commission’s 

determination is contained in sections 

335 and 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (19 U.S.C. 1335, 1337), and 

in Part 210 of the Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR Part 

210). 

Issued: November 7, 2014. 

By order of the Commission.

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives 

notice of the scheduling of full reviews 

pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) 

(the Act) to determine whether

injury within a reasonably foreseeable 

time. The Commission has determined 

to exercise its authority to extend the 

review period by up to 90 days pursuant 

to 19 U.S.C. § 1675(c)(5)(B). For further
