Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission has determined to reverse the presiding administrative law judge ("ALJ") findings in the above-captioned investigation of literal infringement with respect to the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,138,184 ("the `184 patent") and U.S. Patent No. 5,892,976 ("the `976 patent") and to remand the investigation to the ALJ for a determination of whether claims 7, 24, and 41 of the `184 patent and claim 9 of the `976 patent are infringed under the doctrine of equivalents, and whether a domestic industry exists as to those patents. The Commission has also determined to vacate that portion of the ID which concerns infringement of claim 1 of U.S. Patent No. 6,085,318 ("the `318 patent") under the doctrine of equivalents. The Commission has determined to affirm the remainder of the ID. Finally, the Commission has directed the ALJ to set a new target date in the investigation and to rule on a motion filed on October 27, 2005, by respondent concerning a recently discovered license agreement related to the patents at issue in this investigation.
