On January 21, 2008, IBM amended the complaint and notice of investigation to add Respondents Pegatron Technology Corporation of Taipei, Taiwan and Unihan Technology Corporation, of Taipei, Taiwan, wholly owned subsidiaries of ASUSTek. The respondents are referred to collectively as ‘‘ASUS.’’ On August 4, 2008, the ALJ issued an ID that extended the target date for completion of the investigation to July 14, 2009. The Commission determined not to review the ID. On March 16, 2009, the ALJ issued his final ID finding no violation of section 337 by ASUS. The ID included the ALJ’s recommended determination on remedy and bonding. In the subject ID, the ALJ found that ASUS’s products do not infringe asserted claims 1 and 2 of the ’829 patent. The ALJ also found that none of the cited references anticipated claims 1 and 2 of the ’829 patent or rendered them obvious. Likewise, the ALJ found that ASUS’s products do not infringe asserted claim 1 of the ’741 patent. The ALJ further found that none of the cited references anticipated claim 1 or rendered claim 1 of the ’741 patent obvious. The ALJ also found that the ’741 patent satisfied the written description and enablement requirements of 35 U.S.C. 112, first paragraph, for claim 1. Similarly, the ALJ found that ASUS’s accused products do not infringe asserted claims 1, 8, 13, 14, 22 and 23 of the ’852 patent.

On March 30, 2009, IBM filed a petition, seeking review of the ALJ’s ID with regard to infringement of all the patents-in-issue. That same day, ASUS filed a contingent petition, seeking review of the ALJ’s findings that the ’829 and ’741 patents are not invalid. On April 7, 2009, ASUS filed an opposition to IBM’s petition for review, and IBM filed a response to ASUS’s contingent petition for review. Also on April 7, 2009, the Commission investigative attorney filed a response to both IBM’s petition and ASUS’s contingent petition.

complaint named as respondent ASUSTek Computer, Inc. of Taipei, Taiwan 
and ASUS Computer International of Fremont, California. On January 21, 
2008, IBM amended the complaint and notice of investigation to add 
Respondents Pegatron Technology Corporation of Taipei, Taiwan and 
Unihan Technology Corporation, of Taipei, Taiwan, wholly owned 
subsidiaries of ASUSTek. The respondents are referred to collectively 
as ``ASUS.''
    On August 4, 2008, the ALJ issued an ID that extended the target 
date for completion of the investigation to July 14, 2009. The 
Commission determined not to review the ID.
    On March 16, 2009, the ALJ issued his final ID finding no violation 
of section 337 by ASUS. The ID included the ALJ's recommended 
determination on remedy and bonding. In the subject ID, the ALJ found 
that ASUS's products do not infringe asserted claims 1 and 2 of the 
'829 patent. The ALJ also found that none of the cited references 
anticipated claims 1 and 2 of the '829 patent or rendered them obvious. 
Likewise, the ALJ found that ASUS's products do not infringe asserted 
claim 1 of the '741 patent. The ALJ further found that none of the 
cited references anticipated claim 1 or rendered claim 1 of the '741 
patent obvious. The ALJ also found that the '741 patent satisfied the 
written description and enablement requirements of 35 U.S.C. 112, first 
paragraph, for claim 1. Similarly, the ALJ found that ASUS's accused 
products do not infringe asserted claims 1, 8, 13, 14, 22 and 23 of the 
'852 patent. The ALJ also found that none of the cited references 
anticipates the asserted claims of the '852 patent. The ALJ further 
found that IBM met the domestic industry requirement because a 
sufficient nexus existed between IBM's licensing activities and each of 
the asserted patents.
    On March 30, 2009, IBM filed a petition, seeking review of the 
ALJ's ID with regard to infringement of all the patents-in-issue. That 
same day, ASUS filed a contingent petition, seeking review of the ALJ's 
findings that the '829 and '741 patents are not invalid. On April 7, 
2009, ASUS filed an opposition to IBM's petition for review, and IBM 
filed a response to ASUS's contingent petition for review. Also on 
April 7, 2009, the Commission investigative attorney filed a response 
to both IBM's petition and ASUS's contingent petition.
    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 not to review the subject ID.
    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
