Because the ALJ found that no respondent infringed the '789 patent, he terminated the investigation as to that design patent. Because respondent Old Dominion Footwear (ODF) was accused of infringing only the '789 patent, the ALJ terminated ODF from the investigation. On November 8, 2006, the ALJ issued Order No. 36 staying the procedural schedule.
On December 21, 2006, the Commission issued a notice determining to review-in-part the ID to the extent that the ALJ granted the motions for summary determination of noninfringement of the '789 patent as to each respondent except for respondent ODF because no party challenged the ALJ's finding of no infringement by ODF.
