`
`UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
`Washington, DC
`
`Before the Honorable MaryJoan McNamara
`Administrative Law Judge
`
`
`In the Matter of
`
`CERTAIN VAPORIZER CARTRIDGES AND
`COMPONENTS THEREOF
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Investigation No. 337-TA-1211
`
`
`COMMISSION INVESTIGATIVE STAFF’S RESPONSE TO JOINT MOTION TO
`TERMINATE THE INVESTIGATION AS TO RESPONDENT ALL PUFF STORE
`(Mot. Dkt. No. 1211-039)
`
`On December 11, 2020, Complainant JUUL Labs, Inc. (“JLI” or “Complainant”) and
`
`Respondent All Puff Store (“Respondent” or “All Puff Store”) jointly moved to terminate this
`
`investigation as to All Puff Store based on a Consent Order Stipulation and Proposed Consent
`
`Order. See Motion Dkt. No. 1211-039 (“Motion”). For the reasons set forth below, the
`
`Commission Investigative Staff (“Staff”) supports the Motion for termination as to Respondent
`
`All Puff Store.
`
`I. LEGAL STANDARDS
`
`Under the Commission Rules, “[a]ny party may move at any time to terminate an
`
`investigation in whole or in part as to any or all respondents on the basis of a settlement, a
`
`licensing or other agreement, … or a consent order[.]” See 19 CFR § 210.21(a)(2).
`
`Commission Rule 210.21(c) expressly provides for terminating an investigation based on the
`
`entry of a consent order. See 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(c) (termination by consent order). “A motion
`
`for termination by consent order shall contain copies of any licensing or other settlement
`
`agreement, any supplemental agreements, and a statement that there are no other agreements,
`
`written or oral, express or implied between the parties concerning the subject matter of the
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`investigation.” 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(c). “If the licensing or other settlement agreement contains
`
`confidential business information within the meaning of § 201.6(a) of this chapter, a copy of the
`
`agreement with such information deleted shall accompany the motion.” Id; see also C.F.R. §
`
`210.21(b) (same requirement).
`
`A motion to terminate by consent order must be submitted “with a stipulation that
`
`includes a proposed consent order.” 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(c)(1)(ii). The contents of the consent
`
`order stipulation must comply with the requirements set forth in Commission Rules 210.21(c)(3).
`
`See 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(c)(3). The Commission will not issue a consent order with terms
`
`beyond or inconsistent with those set forth in Commission Rule 210.21(c)(4). See 19 C.F.R. §
`
`210.21(c)(4).
`
`As a general matter, “public policy supports termination in order to conserve public and
`
`private resources.” Certain Insulated Beverage Containers, Components, Labels, And
`
`Packaging Materials Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-1084, ID at 3 (Jun. 8, 2018) (granting
`
`termination based on settlement agreement) (unreviewed). “The Commission has held that, in
`
`the absence of extraordinary circumstances, termination of an investigation will be readily
`
`granted to a complainant during the prehearing stage of an investigation.” Id. (quotation
`
`omitted).
`
`II. DISCUSSION
`
`As explained below, the Staff is of the view that the Motion, Consent Order Stipulation
`
`(Exhibit A), Proposed Consent Order (Exhibit B), and the redactions in the settlement agreement
`
`(Exhibit C) provided by Complainant JLI and Respondent All Puff Store substantially comply
`
`with the Commission Rules. See 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(c). Therefore, the Staff submits that the
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Motion for a Consent Order and termination of the investigation as to Respondent All Puff Store
`
`should be granted.
`
`A.
`
`Consent Order Stipulation
`
`The Consent Order Stipulation (Exhibit A) by Respondent All Puff Store appears to
`
`comply with the requirements of Commission Rule 210.21(c)(3). See Motion at Ex. A
`
`(“Stipulation”); 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(c)(3). With respect to paragraph (c)(3)(i)(A) of the
`
`Commission Rule, All Puff Store admits that the Commission has subject matter jurisdiction
`
`over this investigation, in rem jurisdiction over its accused articles, and in personam jurisdiction
`
`over All Puff Store for purposes of the consent order. See Stipulation at ¶ 1.
`
`With respect to paragraph (c)(3)(i)(B), the Stipulation identifies the asserted patent claims
`
`and All Puff Store stipulates that:
`
`it will not sell for importation, import into the United States or sell in the United
`States after importation, directly or indirectly, or aid, abet, encourage, participate
`in, or induce the sale for importation, importation into the United States or sale in
`the United States after importation of vaporizer cartridges and components thereof
`that infringe any of the claims of the Asserted Claims, except under consent or
`license from JLI.
`
`
`Id. at ¶ 2; see also id. at Introductory ¶ 1 (“with respect to the sole claim of each of U.S. Patent
`
`Nos. D842,536 (‘’536’), D858,870 (‘’870’), D858,869 (‘’869’), D858,868 (‘’868’) (collectively
`
`the ‘Asserted Claims’”)). The Stipulation states that “All Puff Store does not have any existing
`
`U.S. inventories of vaporizer cartridges and components thereof.” Id. at ¶ 3.
`
`
`
`With respect to paragraph (c)(3)(i)(C), All Puff Store expressly waives all rights to seek
`
`judicial review or otherwise challenge the validity of the consent order. Id. at ¶ 4. With respect
`
`to paragraph (c)(3)(i)(D), All Puff Store stipulates that it will cooperate with and will not seek to
`
`impede by litigation or other means the Commission’s efforts to gather information under
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Subpart I of the Commission’s Rules. Id. at ¶ 5. With respect to paragraph (c)(3)(i)(E), All
`
`Puff Store stipulates that the enforcement, modification, or revocation of the consent order will
`
`be carried out pursuant to Subpart I of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure. Id. at
`
`¶ 6.
`
`With respect to paragraph (c)(3)(i)(F), All Puff Store states that the signing of the
`
`Stipulation is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute an admission by All Puff Store
`
`that an infringement of the Asserted Claims and/or an unfair act has been committed. Id. at ¶ 7.
`
`With respect to paragraph (c)(3)(i)(G), All Puff Store stipulates that the consent order shall have
`
`the same force and effect and may be enforced, modified, or revoked in the same manner as is
`
`provided in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and 19 C.F.R. Part 210 for other Commission
`
`actions, and that the Commission may require periodic compliance reports pursuant to Subpart I
`
`of 19 C.F.R. Part 210 to be submitted by All Puff Store. Id. at ¶ 8.
`
`With respect to paragraph (c)(3)(ii)(A), All Puff Store stipulates that the consent order
`
`shall not apply with respect to any asserted patent claim that has expired or is held invalid or
`
`unenforceable by a court or agency of competent jurisdiction or if any article has been found or
`
`adjudicated not to infringe the asserted right in a final decision, no longer subject to appeal, the
`
`Consent Order shall become null and void as to such expired, invalid, or unenforceable claim or
`
`as to any adjudicated article. Id. at ¶ 9. With respect to paragraph (c)(3)(ii)(B), All Puff Store
`
`states that it will not seek to challenge the validity or enforceability of the asserted patents in any
`
`administrative or judicial proceeding to enforce the consent order. Id. at ¶ 10.1 In sum, the
`
`Stipulation appears to satisfy the Commission Rule.
`
`
`1 The Stipulation also includes a statement that the Stipulation and Consent Order are in the
`public interest. See Stipulation at ¶ 11. While this statement in the Stipulation is not provided
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`
`B.
`
`Proposed Consent Order
`
`
`
`
`The Proposed Consent Order also appears to comply with and to not have terms beyond,
`
`or materially inconsistent with, those set forth in Commission Rule 210.21(c)(4). See Motion at
`
`Ex. B (“Proposed Order”); 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(c)(4). With respect to paragraph (c)(4)(i) of the
`
`Commission Rule, the Proposed Consent Order includes statements identifying Complainant JLI,
`
`Respondent All Puff Store, and the allegations in the Complaint that All Puff Store has engaged
`
`in importation into the United States, sale for importation into the United States, and/or sale
`
`within the United States after importation of certain vaporizer cartridges and components thereof
`
`in violation of Section 337 with respect to the sole claim of each of U.S. Patent Nos. D842,536
`
`(“’536”), D858,870 (“’870”), D858,869 (“’869”), D858,868 (“’868”) (collectively the “Asserted
`
`Claims”). See Proposed Order at Introductory ¶ 1.
`
`With respect to paragraph (c)(4)(ii), the Proposed Order states that All Puff Store has
`
`executed a consent order stipulation in which it agrees to entry of the Consent Order. See
`
`Proposed Order at Introductory ¶ 2. With respect to paragraphs (c)(4)(iii) and (v), the language
`
`in the Proposed Order mirrors the language that was included in All Puff Store’s Consent Order
`
`Stipulation. See id. at ¶ 1. The Proposed Order states that it “shall be applicable to and binding
`
`upon All Puff Store, their officers, agents, servants, attorneys, employees, affiliates, and all
`
`persons, firms, or corporations acting or claiming to act on its behalf or under its direction or
`
`authority.” Id. at ¶ 2. With respect to paragraph (c)(4)(iv), the Proposed Order states that All
`
`
`for by the Rules, the Staff is of the view that it is not problematic because the Rules otherwise
`require the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) to consider the effect of termination on the public
`interest.
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Puff Store does not have any existing U.S. inventories of vaporizer cartridges and components
`
`thereof. Id. at ¶ 6.
`
`With respect to paragraph (c)(4)(vi), the Proposed Order provides that All Puff Store will
`
`be precluded from seeking judicial review or otherwise challenging or contesting the validity of
`
`the Consent Order. Proposed Order at ¶ 3. With respect to paragraph (c)(4)(vii), the Proposed
`
`Order provides that All Puff Store shall cooperate with and shall not seek to impede by litigation
`
`or other means the Commission’s efforts to gather information under Subpart I of the
`
`Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure. Id. at ¶ 4.
`
`With respect to paragraph (c)(4)(viii), the Proposed Order provides that All Puff Store
`
`and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and any entity or individual acting on its behalf and
`
`with its authority shall not seek to challenge the validity or enforceability of the Asserted Claims
`
`in any administrative or judicial proceeding to enforce the Consent Order. Proposed Order at ¶
`
`5. With respect to paragraph (c)(4)(ix), the Proposed Order provides that, when an Asserted
`
`Patent expires, the Consent Order shall become null and void as to such expired patent. Id. at ¶
`
`7.
`
`With respect to paragraph (c)(4)(x), the Proposed Order provides that the Consent Order
`
`shall become null and void as to any claim of any intellectual property right that is held invalid
`
`or unenforceable by a court or agency of competent jurisdiction or as to any article that has been
`
`found or adjudicated not to infringe the asserted right in a final decision, no longer subject to
`
`appeal. Id. at ¶ 8.
`
`With respect to paragraph (c)(4)(xi), the Proposed Order includes an admission of
`
`jurisdictional facts. See id. at ¶ 9. Specifically, with respect to paragraph (c)(4)(xii), the
`
`Proposed Consent Order states that the Investigation is hereby terminated with respect to All
`
`
`
`6
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Puff Store; provided, however, that enforcement, modification, or revocation of the Consent
`
`Order shall be carried out pursuant to Subpart I of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and
`
`Procedure. Id. at ¶ 10. In sum, the Proposed Order also appears to satisfy the Commission
`
`Rule.
`
`C.
`
`Settlement Agreement
`
`In addition to the Consent Order Stipulation and Proposed Consent Order, the parties
`
`have also entered into a settlement agreement (Exhibit C). See Motion at Ex. C. The parties
`
`have provided both confidential and public versions of their settlement agreement, as required by
`
`the Rules. See EDIS Doc. ID No. 727843 (Dec. 11, 2020) (public settlement agreement); 19
`
`C.F.R. § 210.21(c) (“If the licensing or other settlement agreement contains confidential business
`
`information within the meaning of § 201.6(a) of this chapter, a copy of the agreement with such
`
`information deleted shall accompany the motion.”). The redactions to the public settlement
`
`agreement are limited to a single section – section 2.3. See Ex. C at § 2.3. The Staff is of the
`
`view that the redactions to the public version of the settlement agreement are appropriately
`
`tailored and consistent with the scope of Commission Rule 201.6(a). See 19 C.F.R. § 201.6(a).
`
`The Motion states “that there are no other agreements, written or oral, express or implied,
`
`relating to the subject matter of this Investigation.” Motion at 1; see also 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(c)
`
`(requirement for same). The Motion thus appears to comply with the requirements for
`
`termination. See 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(c).
`
`D.
`
`Public Interest Considerations
`
`Pursuant to Commission Rule 210.50(b)(2), the Administrative Law Judge, in ruling on a
`
`motion to terminate on the basis of a settlement agreement and/or a consent order, is to consider
`
`and make appropriate findings regarding the effect of the proposed termination on the public
`
`
`
`7
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`interest. 19 C.F.R. § 210.59(b)(2). Generally, the public interest tends to favor early
`
`termination of investigations by settlement or consent order to conserve public and private
`
`resources. See, e.g., Certain Electronic Paper Towel Dispensing Devices and Components
`
`Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-718, Order No. 25 at 4 (Dec. 1, 2010) (termination by consent order
`
`granted); Certain Semiconductor Chips with Minimized Chip Package Size and Prods.
`
`Containing Same (III), Inv. No. 337-TA-630, Order No. 25 at 4 (Sept. 4, 2008) (termination
`
`based on settlement and consent order granted); accord Certain Beverage Brewing Capsules,
`
`Components Thereof, and Prods. Containing the Same, Inv. No. 337-TA-929, Order No. 10 at 6
`
`(Nov. 19, 2014) (same). There is also a public interest in “the recognition of presumptively
`
`valid patents and their exclusive rights.” Certain Recombinantly Produced Hepatitis B
`
`Vaccines and Prods. Containing Same, Inv. No. 337-TA-408, Order No. 7 at 5 (Aug. 17, 1998).
`
`Here, the Staff is not aware of any information to indicate that termination of this
`
`investigation as to Respondent All Puff Store and the entry of the Proposed Order would be
`
`contrary to any of the public health and welfare, competitive conditions in the U.S. economy, the
`
`production of like or directly competitive articles in the United States, or U.S. consumers. See
`
`19 U.S.C. § 1337(d). The Motion and Stipulation also state that termination is in the public
`
`interest. See Motion at 2-3; Stipulation at ¶ 11. Therefore, the Staff submits that termination of
`
`the investigation as to Respondent All Puff Store and issuance of the Proposed Consent Order is
`
`not contrary to the public interest.
`
`III. CONCLUSION
`
`For the reasons set forth above, the Staff submits that the Motion for termination as to
`
`Respondent All Puff Store should be granted.
