On April 25, 2023, respondents Katun and General Plastic filed a petition pursuant to Commission Rule 210.76 (19 CFR 210.76) to modify the GEO to clarify that the order does not cover certain Katun and General Plastic redesigned toner supply containers (“New Katun Containers”). Katun and General Plastic also assert that if Canon “seek to extend language of the claims of the Asserted Patents to cover the New Katun Containers, such an expansion of scope is impermissible and renders the Asserted Patents invalid.” Pet. at 2-3, 29-30.
On May 5, 2023, Complainants Canon Inc. filed an opposition to Katun’s and General Plastic’s petition for a modification of the GEO. Complainants argue that Katun and General Plastic have not shown why the redesign could not have been adjudicated in the original investigation, and thus there is no basis to conclude the redesign constitutes a changed condition of fact. Complainants further argue that Katun and General Plastic do not make a plausible showing that the New Katun Containers do not infringe the Asserted Patents, and accordingly, no modification is required. Complainants argue that if a modification proceeding is instituted, then it should be referred to an ALJ for findings of fact and an initial determination.
