Notice of Commission Determination on Obviousness
On August 3, 2009, the Commission issued a notice reversing a remand determination of the presiding ALJ and to terminate Inv. No. 337-TA-623, In the Matter of Certain R-134a Coolant (Otherwise Known as 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane), with a finding of no violation. The Commission determined to reverse the conclusion reached by the ALJ that the only remaining claim of the patent-at-issue was not obvious. The Commission found that the claim would have been obvious to a skilled artisan and is thus invalid. (PDF)
