SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June
21, 2005, the Commission instituted an
investigation under section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based
on a complaint filed by Broadcom
Corporation (‘‘Broadcom’’) of Irvine,
California, alleging a violation of section
337 in the importation, sale for
importation, and sale within the United
States after importation of certain
baseband processor chips and chipsets,
transmitter and receiver (radio) chips,
power control chips, and products
containing same, including cellular
telephone handsets by reason of
infringement of certain claims of U.S.
Patent Nos. 6,374,311; 6,714,983 (‘‘the
’983 patent’’); 5,682,379 (‘‘the ’379
patent’’); 6,359,872 (‘‘the ’872 patent’’);
and 6,583,675. 70 Fed. Reg. 35707 (June
21, 2005). The complainant named
Qualcomm Incorporated (‘‘Qualcomm’’)
of San Diego, California as the only
respondent. The ’379 patent and ’872
patent were terminated from this
investigation.
On October 19, 2006, the presiding
administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued
an Initial Determination on Violation of
Section 337 and Recommended
Determination on Remedy and Bond
(‘‘ID’’), finding a violation of section 337
as to the ’983 patent only. On December
8, 2006, the Commission issued a notice
of its decision to review and modify in
part the ALJ’s final ID. The modification
made by the Commission did not affect
the finding of violation.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
On March 21–22, 2007, the
Commission held a public hearing on
the issues of remedy and the public
interest. Subsequently, the Commission
extended the target date for completion
of this investigation to June 7, 2007.
On June 7, 2007, the Commission
issued a limited exclusion order, with
certain exemptions, prohibiting the
importation of Qualcomm’s baseband
processor chips or chipsets, including
chips or chipsets incorporated into
circuit board modules and carriers, that
are programmed to enable the power
saving features covered by claims 1, 4,
8, 9, or 11 of the ’983 patent, as well as
handheld wireless communication
devices, including cellular telephone
handsets and PDAs, containing
Qualcomm baseband processor chips or
chipsets that are programmed to enable
the power saving features covered by
these claims. The Commission also
issued a cease and desist order that
prohibits Qualcomm from engaging in
certain activities in the United States
related to the infringing chips.
On November 9, 2007, complainant
Broadcom filed a complaint for
enforcement proceedings under
Commission Rule 210.75. Broadcom
asserts that respondent Qualcomm has
violated the Commission’s cease and
desist order by continued marketing of
infringing, imported baseband processor
chips and chipsets, and continued
testing and programming of imported
baseband processor chips and chipsets
to transform them into infringing
products. On December 5 and 7, 2007,
respectively, Qualcomm filed a letter
opposing institution of Broadcom’s
complaint, and Broadcom filed a letter
in response to Qualcomm’s opposition.
Having examined the complaint
seeking a formal enforcement
proceeding, and having found that the
complaint complies with the
requirements for institution of a formal
enforcement proceeding contained in
Commission rule 210.75, the
Commission has determined to institute
formal enforcement proceedings to
determine whether Qualcomm is in
violation of the Commission’s cease and
desist order issued in the investigation,
and what, if any, enforcement measures
are appropriate. The following entities
are named as parties to the formal
enforcement proceeding: (1)
Complainant Broadcom, (2) respondent
Qualcomm, and (3) a Commission
investigative attorney to be designated
by the Director, Office of Unfair Import
Investigations.
The authority for the Commission’s
determination is contained in section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in

United States International
Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice of Commission
determinations to conduct full five-year
reviews concerning the countervailing
duty order on carbon and certain alloy
steel wire rod (‘‘wire rod’’) from Brazil
and antidumping duty orders on wire
rod from Brazil, Canada, Indonesia,

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives
notice that it will proceed with full
reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of
the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.
§ 1675(c)(5)) to determine whether
revocation of the countervailing duty
order on wire rod from Brazil and the
antidumping duty orders on wire rod
from Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Mexico,
Moldova, Trinidad and Tobago, and
Ukraine would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of material
injury within a reasonably foreseeable
time. A schedule for the reviews will be
established and announced at a later
date. For further information concerning
the conduct of these reviews and rules
of general application, consult the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and

domestic interested party group
response to its notice of institution (72

adequate and that the respondent
interested party group responses with
respect to Canada and Moldova were
adequate and decided to conduct full
reviews with respect to the antidumping
duty orders concerning wire rod from
Canada and Moldova. The Commission
found that the respondent interested
party group responses with respect to
Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Trinidad and
Tobago, and Ukraine were inadequate.
However, the Commission determined
to conduct full reviews concerning the
countervailing duty order on wire rod
from Brazil and the antidumping duty
orders on wire rod from Brazil,
Indonesia, Mexico, Trinidad and
Tobago, and Ukraine to promote
administrative efficiency in light of its
decision to conduct full reviews with
respect to the orders concerning wire
rod from Canada and Moldova. A record

and any individual Commissioner’s
statements will be available from the
Office of the Secretary and at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.—In September 2005, the
Commission determined on remand that
there is no potential that subject imports
from South Africa will exceed the
applicable individual statutory
negligibility threshold of three percent
of total wire rod imports in the
imminent future, and that with respect
to Egypt, South Africa and Venezuela
collectively, there is no potential that
aggregate subject imports from these
countries would exceed seven percent
of total wire rod imports in the
imminent future. 19 U.S.C. 1677(24).
