SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on August 31, 2011, based on a
complaint filed by Rovi. 76 FR 54253
(Aug. 31, 2011). The complaint alleges
violations of section 337 of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C.
1337, by reason of infringement of
certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos.
6,305,016; 7,493,643; and RE41,993.
On September 30, 2011, Rovi and
Sharp filed a joint motion to terminate
the investigation in its entirety based
upon a settlement agreement. On
October 4, 2011, the ALJ issued the
subject ID (Order No. 5) granting the
motion for termination of the
investigation in its entirety. In the
subject ID, the ALJ found that the
parties satisfied all the requirements
under 19 CFR 210.21(b)(1), including a
statement that the parties have no other
agreements concerning the subject
matter of this investigation. The ALJ
noted that the settlement agreement
contemplates the execution of a more
detailed agreement by October 30, 2011,
but he found that the possibility of

further agreements between the parties
did not affect his initial determination
to grant the joint motion for termination.
No petitions for review were filed.
The Commission determined to
review the ID on its own motion and
required Rovi and Sharp to submit their
detailed final agreement, so that the
Commission could fully assess
compliance with the requirements of 19
CFR 210.21(b)(1) and 210.50(b)(2). The
parties filed their final agreement with
the Commission on January 13, 2012.
Upon consideration of that document,
the Commission has determined that the
parties’ joint motion for termination
complies with §§ 210.21(b)(1) and
210.50(b)(2). Accordingly, the
Commission has modified the ALJ’s ID
to include a consideration of the final
agreement.
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
section 210.45 of the Commission’s
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR
210.45).
Issued: March 5, 2012.
By order of the Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on August 31, 2011, based on a complaint filed by Rovi. 76 FR 54253
(Aug. 31, 2011). The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, by reason of
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,305,016;
7,493,643; and RE41,993.
On September 30, 2011, Rovi and Sharp filed a joint motion to
terminate the investigation in its entirety based upon a settlement
agreement. On October 4, 2011, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No.
5) granting the motion for termination of the investigation in its
entirety. In the subject ID, the ALJ found that the parties satisfied
all the requirements under 19 CFR 210.21(b)(1), including a statement

contemplates the execution of a more detailed agreement by October 30,
2011, but he found that the possibility of further agreements between
the parties did not affect his initial determination to grant the joint
motion for termination. No petitions for review were filed.
The Commission determined to review the ID on its own motion and
required Rovi and Sharp to submit their detailed final agreement, so
that the Commission could fully assess compliance with the requirements
of 19 CFR 210.21(b)(1) and 210.50(b)(2). The parties filed their final
agreement with the Commission on January 13, 2012. Upon consideration
of that document, the Commission has determined that the parties' joint
motion for termination complies with Sec. Sec. 210.21(b)(1) and
210.50(b)(2). Accordingly, the Commission has modified the ALJ's ID to
include a consideration of the final agreement.
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 section 210.45 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure
(19 CFR 210.45).
