Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 60 / Friday, March 28, 2014 / Notices references combined with the CODIT reference. With respect to infringement, the Commission finds that the PRACH preamble used in the accused Nokia handsets satisfies the ‘‘code’’/‘‘signal’’ limitation of the asserted claims of the ’966 and ’847 patents under the Federal Circuit’s revised claim construction. The Commission also finds that the transmission of the PRACH preambles meets the claim limitation ‘‘increased power level’’ in the asserted claims of the ’966 and ’847 patents based on the Federal Circuit’s revised claim construction. The Commission further finds waived Nokia’s argument that the PRACH preamble and PRACH message signals in the accused Nokia handsets are never transmitted. The Commission also affirms the ID’s finding that the accused handsets do not satisfy the ‘‘synchronize to the pilot signal’’ limitation under the doctrine of equivalents. With respect to the issue of domestic industry, the Commission acknowledges the Federal Circuit’s finding that Nokia has waived any argument regarding the nexus between its licensing investments and the asserted patents. The Commission also declines to reconsider the issue of whether the ‘‘economic prong’’ of the domestic industry requirement has been satisfied under Certain Multimedia Display and Navigation Devices and Systems, Components Thereof, and Products Containing Same, Inv. No. 337–TA–694, Commission Opinion, Public Version (August 8, 2011). The Commission remands the following issues to the Chief ALJ for assignment to a presiding ALJ. Specifically, the Commission remands the issue of whether the accused Nokia handsets meet the ‘‘generated using a same code’’ limitation or ‘‘the message being transmitted only subsequent to the subscriber unit receiving the indication’’ limitation in the asserted claims of the ’966 and ’847 patents. The Commission further remands the issue of whether the 3GPP standard supports a finding that the pilot signal (P–CPICH) satisfies the claim limitation ‘‘synchronized to a pilot signal’’ as recited in the asserted claims of the ’847 patent by synchronizing to either the P– SCH or S–SCH signals under the Commission’s construction of that claim limitation. The Commission also remands the investigation for assignment to the presiding ALJ to reopen the evidentiary record and take evidence concerning Nokia’s currently imported products, including: (1) Whether they contain chips other than those that were VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:57 Mar 27, 2014 Jkt 232001 previously adjudicated, (2) whether those chips infringe the asserted claims of the patents-in-suit, and (3) whether the chips are licensed. The Commission further remands the investigation in order for the assigned ALJ to: (1) Take evidence concerning the public interest factors as enumerated in sections 337(d) and (f); (2) take briefing on whether the issue of the standard-essential patent nature of the patents-in-suit is contested; (3) take evidence concerning and/or briefing on whether there is patent hold-up or reverse hold-up in this case; and (4) include an analysis of this evidence in his remand ID. The motion for reconsideration is granted in part with respect to claims 6, 9, and 11 of the ’847 patent. The remainder of the motion is denied. 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). By order of the Commission. Issued: March 24, 2014. William R.
