Commission Issues Limited Exclusion Order and Cease & Desist Order In Optoelectronic Devices Investigation

The Commission has followed ALJ Essex's initial determination in Inv. No. 337-TA-669, Certain Optoelectronic Devices, Components Thereof, and Products Containing The Same, and issued a limited exclusion order and cease and desist order against respondent Emcore Corporation's accused products.  The Commission's opinion follows a May 13 decision by the Commission not to review the ALJ Essex's initial determination finding a Section 337 violation due to infringement of claims 1-3 and 5 of U.S. Patent No. 5,359,447 by Emcore.  Bond during the 60-day Presidential review period has been set at 3% of the value of the products entering the US during the period.
