SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on May 4, 2022. 87 FR 26372 (May 4, 2022). The complaint, as
supplemented, alleged 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 centrifuge utility platform and falling
film evaporator systems and components thereof by
[[Page 49614]]
reason of infringement of claims 1, 10, and 14 of U.S. Patent No.
10,814,338; claims 1, 10, and 18 of U.S. Patent No. 11,014,098; and
claims 1, 9, and 19 of U.S. Patent No. 10,899,728. Id. The complaint
further alleged that a domestic industry exists. Id. The Commission's
notice of investigation named fifteen respondents, including ``Redford
Management'' of Los Angeles, CA. Id. at 26373. The Office of Unfair
Import Investigations is also participating in the investigation. Id.
On July 7, 2022, complainant Apeks, LLC (``Apeks'') moved to
terminate the investigation as to Rexford based on withdrawal of the
allegations in the complaint specific to Rexford. On July 19, 2022, the
ALJ issued Order No. 20, the subject ID, granting Apeks's motion. The
ID finds that Apeks's motion complies with the Commission's rules and
that there are no extraordinary circumstances that would preclude
termination of the investigation as to Rexford.
Separately, the ID explains that OUII and Rexford both noted that
Rexford was incorrectly identified as ``Redford Management'' in the
notice of institution of this investigation. To correct that error, the
ID also finds that the notice of investigation should be amended to
replace ``Redford Management'' with ``Rexford Management, LLC.''
No petitions for review of the ID were filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID.
The notice of institution of this investigation is amended to
correctly identify Rexford by replacing ``Redford Management'' with
``Rexford Management, LLC.'' Rexford is hereby terminated from this
investigation.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on August 4,
2022.
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).
While temporary remote operating procedures are in place in
response to COVID-19, the Office of the Secretary is not able to serve
parties that have not retained counsel or otherwise provided a point of
contact for electronic service. Accordingly, pursuant to Commission
Rules 201.16(a) and 210.7(a)(1) (19 CFR 201.16(a), 210.7(a)(1)), the
Commission orders that the Complainant(s) complete service for any
party/parties without a method of electronic service noted on the
attached Certificate of Service and shall file proof of service on the
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: August 4, 2022.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
