SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on November 15, 2007, based on a
complaint filed by Funai Electric Co.,
Ltd. of Japan and Funai Corporation of
Rutherford, NJ (collectively ‘‘Funai’’),
alleging violations of section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) in
the importation into the United States,
the sale for importation, and the sale
within the United States after
importation of certain digital televisions
and certain products containing the
same and methods of using the same by

reason of infringement of certain claims
of United States Patent Nos. 5,329,369
(‘‘the ‘369 patent’’) and 6,115,074 (‘‘the
‘074 patent’’). 72 Federal Register 64240
(November 15, 2007). The complaint
named fourteen respondents.
Subsequent to institution, three
respondents were terminated from the
investigation based on settlement
agreements.
On November 17, 2008, the ALJ
issued his final ID, finding that a
violation of section 337 has occurred in
the importation into the United States,
the sale for importation, and the sale
within the United States after
importation of certain digital televisions
and certain products containing the
same and methods of using the same by
reason of infringement of certain claims
of the ‘074 patent. The ALJ found that
no violation exists with respect to the
‘369 patent. On November 25, 2008, the
ALJ issued a recommended
determination on remedy and bonding
(‘‘RD’’). The respondents, the
Commission investigative attorney
(‘‘IA’’), and complainant Funai filed
petitions for review of the ID on
December 1, 2008. The IA, the
respondents, and complainant Funai
each filed responses to the petitions for
review on December 9, 2008.
On December 4, 2008, the
respondents filed a motion requesting
judicial notice of Funai’s response to an
office action in the pending U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office (‘‘USPTO’’)
reexamination proceedings concerning
the ‘074 patent. In the alternative, the
respondents requested that the
evidentiary record be reopened to allow
Funai’s response to the USPTO to be
admitted. On December 15, 2008, the IA
and Funai replied to the respondents’
motion. On December 17, 2008, the
respondents filed a motion for leave to
reply and, thereafter, corrected its
submission on December 18, 2008. On
December 18, 2008 and December 29,
2008, respectively, Funai and the IA
replied to respondents’ motion for leave.
The Commission notes that the ALJ
took notice of the ongoing
reexamination proceedings. The
Commission has determined to deny
Respondents’ motion to take judicial
notice of specific documents filed in
that proceeding. The Commission has
also determined to deny Respondents’
alternative request for reopening of the
record as well as Respondents’ motion
for leave to reply.
Having examined the record of this
investigation, including the ALJ’s final
ID, the petitions for review, and the
responses thereto, the Commission has
determined to review the final ID in
part. Specifically, the Commission has
