    The public's

    1991) (stating that

    exclusionary relief should only be denied  when the adverse effect on the public interest would

    be greater than

    the interest in

    protecting

    the patent

    holder ).

    As discussed

    below,

    the

    issuance

    of

    the requested

    relief

    would not

    have

    an adverse

    effect

    on public health

    and

    welfare, competitive

    conditions in

    the

    United States economy, the

    production of

    like

    or

    directly competitive articles in

    the United States, or United States consumers.

    1) Explain how the articlespotentially subject to the orders areused in the United

    States.

    The infringing articles

    in

    this

    matter

    are hand-held electric skin

    care

    devices, generally

    used

    for the

    cleansing

    offacial skin and/or treatment of

    acne, along

    with brushes or brushheads,

    and chargers

    for

    those

    devices.

    Auser operates such a device by activating amotorized

    brushhead on the device, such

    that

    the brushhead moves and

    when

    placed

    incontact with the

    user's skineffects the facial skincleansing. The motionof the brushhead is intended to

    cleanse

    skin by

    loosening the

    adhesion ofsebaceous plugs inthe skin's

    pores,

    thereby

    resolving

    a root

    cause

    ofacne. The

    brushhead

    is also

    effective

    at cleansing

    the

    skin

    and

    removing any impurities

    such as makeup.

    Each

    device is

    battery-powered

    and

    is

    sold with

    a

    complimentary charger that

    plugs into a standard electrical outlet.

    2)

    Identify

    any public health, safety, or

    welfare concerns

    intheUnited States relating

    to

    the requested remedial

    orders.

    The issuance of the requested relief will have

    no

    adverse impact upon the health, safety

    or welfare

    concerns

    in

    the

    United

    States.

    To

    the

    contrary, itwill benefit public health,

    safety,

    or

    welfare

    by

    removing

    lesser-quality, knock-offproducts from the

    marketplace.

    PBL has devoted

    significant sums ofits

    annual revenues

    to research

    and development,

    encouraging innovation. Moreover, as discussed in more detail below, the requested

    relief will

    not

    deprive

    the

    public oftreatment options,

    at least

    because (i)

    PBL

    anticipates

    that it can meet

    the demand

    for any

    excluded

    products; and

    (ii) consumers have a

    variety

    of

    commercial

    alternatives for the treatment

    of

    acne. . ,

    3) Identify like

    articles that

    complainant,

    its licensees, or third

    parties

    make

    which

    could

    replace

    the subject

    articles

    if they

    were

    to be

    excluded.

    The infringing articles constitute

    unlawful

    copies ofPBL's proprietary Clarisonic line of

    hand-held

    electric skin care

    devices. Thus, the Clarisonic line ofproducts can replace the

    subject

    infringing

    articles if

    they were

    tobe

    excluded, raising

    no

    public interest concerns. See

    In

    addition,

    the public has avariety ofalternatives

    when

    itcomes to

    facial

    cleansing and

    treating

    acne. These alternatives include, for

    example,

    manual cleansing with soap,

    topical

    creams and ointments, and orally-administered medications.

    The

    presence ofan adequate supply

    ofsubstitute

    products,

    while not necessarily as

    convenient

    or

    effective

    as the Clarisonic

    system,

    is sufficient to override anypublic interestconcerns.

    Indicate

    and/or third

    parties have the

    capacity to replace the volume of articles subject to the requested remedialorders in

    a commercially

    reasonable

    time in

    PBL

    has the capacity to replace the volume ofinfringing articles subject to

    the

    requested

    remedial orders

    in

    o

    4. The Clarisonic

    System

    was developed by PBL over

    many

    years and at great expense

    and effort, and

    represents abreakthrough in technology consisting of

    devices and

    methods

    for

    treatment

    of

    early stage

    acne and for the

    effective cleansing

    of

    skin. Those devices and

    methods

    employ

    motion

    and forces

    at

    sonic frequencies to cleanse,

    soften

    and

    smooth

    skin. They alleviate

    clogged pores

    and

    remove debris from the

    skin more

    gently

    and

    effectivdy

    than other

    alternatives,

    such

    as

    manual

    cleansing.

    The innovations

    embodied

    in the

    Clarisonic System have been recognized

    in

    the United States (and worldwide), and

    are

    protected

    by

    numerous United

    States and foreign

    intellectual

    property

    rights, including rights deriving

    from patents, trademarks

    and trade

    dress.

    5. As described in more

    detail below,

    PBLhas investedconsiderable resources in the

    development ofadomestic industry with respect to the

    Clarisonic System.

    PBL is headquartered

    in

    Redmond,

    WA

    and designs,

    develops,

    manufactures, markets,

    and

    sells the Clarisonic

    System

    from

    that

    location.

    6.

    Prior

    to

    the introduction

    ofthe

    Clarisonic

    System,

    there were

    no sonic facial

    cleansing

    devices on

    the market.

    Indeed, before development ofthe

    Clarisonic

    System, no market

    existed for sonic skin care devices. PBL expended considerable resources to create

    the

    sonic skin

    care market and to educate the public regarding

    facial

    cleansing,

    as

    well as tomarket and sell

    its

    sonic

    facial

    cleansing

    devices.

    7. Since

    its introduction, the Clarisonic System

    has

    become widely

    acclaimed by

    professionals

    and consumers, and has

    garnered

    many media awards from sources such

    as
