SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (‘‘Flashpoint’’) of Peterborough, New Hampshire, alleging violation of Section 337 in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain electronic imaging devices by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,504,575 (‘‘the ’575 patent’’), 6,222,538 (‘‘the ’538 patent’’), 6,400,471 (‘‘the ’471 patent’’), and 6,223,190 (‘‘the ’190 patent’’). The notice of investigation named the following respondents: HTC Corporation of Taoyuan, Taiwan and HTC America, Inc. of Bellevue, Washington (collectively, ‘‘HTC’’); Pantech Co., Ltd. of Seoul, Republic of Korea and Pantech Wireless, Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia (collectively, ‘‘Pantech’’); Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. of Shenzhen, China and FutureWei Technologies, Inc. d/b/a Huawei Technologies (USA) of Plano, Texas (collectively ‘‘Huawei’’); and ZTE Corporation of Shenzhen, China and ZTE (USA) Inc. of Richardson, Texas (collectively ‘‘ZTE’’).

On September 30, 2013, the ALJ issued a final ID finding a violation of Section 337 by HTC. Specifically, the ALJ concluded that two of the accused HTC smartphones, i.e., the HTC Vivid and HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE, infringe the asserted claims of the ’538 patent. The ALJ found, however, that none of the other accused HTC smartphones infringes the asserted claims of the ’538 patent and that none of the accused HTC, Huawei, or ZTE smartphones infringes the asserted claims of the ’471 patent or the ’190 patent. The ALJ found that the smartphones of Flashpoint’s licensees Apple Inc. (‘‘Apple’’) and Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. (‘‘Motorola’’) meet the technical prong of the domestic industry requirement with respect to the ’538 patent, but that none of the licensed Motorola or Apple smartphones meet the technical prong of the domestic industry requirement with respect to either the ’471 or ’190 patents. The ALJ found that Flashpoint established the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement under Sections 337(a)(3)(A), (B), and (C) with respect to all of the asserted patents. The ALJ also found that HTC has not established that the asserted patents are invalid in view of the prior art or the onsale bar. The ALJ further found that the ’190 and ’538 patents are not E:\FR\FM\20MRN1.SGM 20MRN1
