Hewlett-Packard Requests Withdrawal of Claims From Printer Ink Investigation
Hewlett-Packard Co. ("HP") filed a motion for partial termination based on the withdrawal of claims 7 and 10 of U.S. Patent No. 6,089,687 (" '687 Patent") and claims 2 and 3 of U.S. Patent No. 6,264,301 (" '301 Patent") in Inv. No. 337-TA-691, Certain InkJet Ink Supplies and Components Thereof. On March 7, 2010 HP filed a motion for summary determination that a domestic industry exists and that there have been violations of Section 337 by seven defaulting respondents. The Commission Investigative Staff's response concluded that the motion should be granted with respect to claims 6 and 7 of the '687 Patent and claims 1, 5, and 6 of the '301 Patent. The Staff, however, concluded that HP's motion should be denied as to claims 7 and 10 of the '687 Patent and claims 2 and 3 of the '301 Patent. Today's motion seeks to remove those claims from the Investigation.
