landholdings total 40 acres or less are
exempt from the requirement to submit
RRA forms. Landholders who are
‘‘qualified recipients’’ have RRA forms
submittal thresholds of 80 acres or 240
acres depending on the district’s RRA
forms submittal threshold category
where the land is held. Only farm
operators who provide multiple services
to more than 960 acres held in trusts or
by legal entities are required to submit
forms.
II. Changes to the RRA Forms and
Their Instructions
The changes made to the currently
approved RRA forms and the
corresponding instructions are of a
formatting or editorial nature, and are
designed to assist the respondents by
increasing their understanding of the
forms, clarifying the instructions for
completing the forms, and clarifying the
information that is required to be on the
forms. The proposed revisions to the
RRA forms will be effective in the 2014
water year.

may also be obtained by accessing its

The public record for this investigation

persons are advised that information on
this matter can be obtained by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on July 14, 2011, based on a complaint
filed by Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
of Austin, Texas (‘‘Freescale’’). 76 FR
41521–2 (July 14, 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 No.
5,467,455 (‘‘the ’455 patent’’). The
complaint further alleges the existence
of a domestic industry. The
Commission’s notice of investigation
named Funai Electric Co., Ltd. of Osaka,
Japan and Funai Corporation, Inc. of
Rutherford, New Jersey (collectively
‘‘Funai’’); MediaTek Inc. of Hsinchu
City, Taiwan (‘‘MediaTek’’); and Zoran
Corporation of Sunnyvale, California
(‘‘Zoran’’) as respondents. The Office of
Unfair Import Investigations was named
as a party. On May 25, 2012, the
Commission determined not to review
an ID (Order No. 27) terminating the
investigation as to Funai on the basis of
a consent order. Notice (May 25, 2012).
On May 29, 2012, the Commission
determined not to review an ID (Order
No. 31) terminating the investigation as
to certain Zoran products and certain
MediaTek products. Notice (May 29,
2012).
On July 12, 2012, the ALJ issued his
final ID, finding no violation of section
337 as to the ’455 patent. The ID
included the ALJ’s recommended
determination (‘‘RD’’) on remedy and
bonding. In particular, the ALJ found
that claims 9 and 10 of the ’455 patent
are not invalid pursuant to 35 U.S.C.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:23 Sep 17, 2012
Jkt 226001
102, but that they are invalid pursuant
to 35 U.S.C. 103. The ALJ further found
that those Zoran products that were
adjudicated in Integrated Circuits I are
precluded under the doctrine of issue
preclusion. The ALJ also found that
certain of the accused Zoran products
remaining in the investigation infringe
claims 9 and 10 of the ’455 patent, but
that the accused MediaTek products do
not infringe claims 9 and 10 of the ’455
patent. The ALJ further found that
Freescale has failed to satisfy the
domestic industry requirement with
respect to the ’455 patent. The ALJ’s RD
recommended a limited exclusion order
barring entry of Zoran’s and MediaTek’s
infringing integrated circuits, chipsets,
and products containing same including
televisions. Freescale did not request,
and the ALJ did not recommend,
issuance of a cease and desist order
against Zoran. The ALJ also
recommended that respondents be
required to post no bond for the
importation of products found to
infringe during the period of
Presidential review.
On July 24, 2012, Freescale filed a
petition for review of certain aspects of
the final ID’s findings concerning
infringement, validity, and domestic
industry, and preclusion. Also on July
25, 2012, the IA timely filed a petition
for review of certain aspect of the final
ID’s findings concerning claim
construction. Further on July 24, 2012,
Zoran and MediaTek contingently
petitioned for review of certain aspects
of the final ID’s findings concerning
claim construction, infringement,
domestic industry, and preclusion. No
post-RD statements on the public
interest pursuant to Commission Rule
201.50(a)(4) or in response to the postRD Commission Notice issued on July
16, 2012, were filed. See 77 FR 42764
(July 20, 2012).
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
determined to review, and on review,
reverses the ALJ’s finding that Japanese
Patent Application JP H05–83113–A to
Kuboki (‘‘Kuboki’’) discloses the
limitation ‘‘[a] data processor within an
integrated circuit package comprising:
* * * a plurality of bus termination
circuits’’ of claim 9 of the ’455 patent.
The Commission has also determined to
review, and on review, affirms with
modification the ID’s finding that
Kuboki in combination with the
knowledge of one of ordinary skill in
the art renders obvious claims 9 and 10
of the ’455 patent. The Commission has

further determined to review the ID’s
finding that the Kuboki reference in
combination with U.S. Patent No.
5,479,123 to Gist (‘‘Gist’’) renders
obvious claims 9 and 10, and on review,
finds that the Kuboki reference in
combination with Gist and the
knowledge of one of ordinary skill in
the art renders obvious claims 9 and 10
of the ’455 patent. The Commission has
also determined to review the ID’s
finding that Freescale failed to establish
the existence of a domestic industry
based on its licensing activities, and on
review, affirms the ID’s finding with
modification. The Commission has
further determined to review the ID’s
finding that Freescale has failed to show
that the Accused Zoran Hybrid
Termination Circuits infringe claims 9
and 10 of the ’455 patent and on review,
affirms the ID’s finding with
modification.
The Commission has determined not
to review the remaining issues decided
in the ID. A Commission opinion will
issue shortly.
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
sections 210.42–46 and 210.50 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and

FR 42764 (July 20, 2012).
Having examined the record of this investigation, including the

the Commission has determined to review the final ID in part.
Specifically, the Commission has determined to review, and on review,
