Certain Lens-Fitted Film Packages; Notice of Issuance of General Exclusion Order and Cease and Desist Orders; Termination of the Investigation

摘要

Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission determined to reverse-in-part the presiding administrative law judges (ALJ's) initial determination (ID) of February 24, 1999, in the above-captioned investigation and determine that the design patents in issue are infringed by the respondents. The Commission also determined that the correct standard for the burden of proof on the repair/reconstruction issue is a preponderance of the evidence. The Commission also determined to correct certain technical errors in the ID's infringement findings. Having found a violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, the Commission issued a general exclusion order and cease and desist orders directed to 20 domestic respondents, and terminated the investigation.
