In the Matter of Certain R-134a Coolant (Otherwise Known as 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane); Notice of Commission Determination To Reverse the Remand Determination of the Presiding Administrative Law Judge and To Terminate the Investigation in Its Entirety With a Finding of No Violation

Zusammenfassung

Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission has determined to reverse the conclusion reached in the Remand Determination ("RID") issued by the presiding administrative law judge ("ALJ") in the above-captioned investigation that the only remaining asserted claim of U.S. Patent No. 5,559,276 ("the `276 patent") is not obvious. The Commission finds that the claim would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art and is therefore invalid. The Commission affirms the RID's conclusion that the asserted claim was not anticipated.
