ALJ Charneski Extends Target Date In Digital Television Investigation
ALJ Charneski has extended the target date in Inv. No. 337-TA-617, Certain Digital Televisions and Certain Products Containing Same and Methods of Using Same, until January 27, 2011. ALJ Charneski extended the target date for the enforcement investigation in light of the delay in the issuance of the Federal Circuit mandate. The Federal Circuit issued an opinion in Vizio, Inc. v. Int'l Trade Comm'n on May 26, 2010, affirming a Commission's finding of infringement as to respondent's older products, reversed the Commission's determination of infringement as to newer products at issue in the investigation and remanding for an order consistent with the Court's interpretation. The complainants, Funai Electric Co. Ltd. and Funai Corporation, moved to extend the target date by two months in light of the Federal Circuit's grant of additional time for the Commission to file a request for rehearing en banc, and the ALJ found the additional extension to be reasonable.
