Section 337. See ID. On March 2, 2020,
INVT and OUII each filed petitions for
review of certain findings in the ID and
Respondents filed a contingent petition
for review. On March 17, 2020, the
parties filed responses to each other’s
petitions.
On April 3, 2020, the ALJ issued a
Recommended Determination on the
Public Interest, Remedy, and Bond
(‘‘RD’’) recommending that, should the
Commission reverse her findings in the
ID and find a violation of Section 337,
then the Commission should issue a
limited exclusion order, with a delayed
implementation, and cease and desist
orders against each Respondent. RD at 3.
The RD also recommends imposing no
bond during the period of Presidential
review. Id.
On April 8, 2020, Apple filed a
motion for sanctions against INVT
(‘‘Apple Motion’’). On April 20, 2020,
INVT filed an opposition to the motion.
On April 29, 2020, Apple filed a motion
for leave to file a reply in support of its
motion.
On May 4, 2020, the Commission
received a submission on the public
interest from INVT. On May 5, 2020, the
Commission received submissions on
the public interest from the following
non-parties: (1) ACT/The App
Association; (2) Cisco Systems, Inc.,
Dell Technologies, Inc., Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Company, HP Inc., and the
High Tech Inventors Alliance; and (3)
Computer & Communications Industry
Association. On May 6, 2020, the
Commission also received a submission
on the public interest from non-party
Fair Standards Alliance.
Having reviewed the record in this
investigation, including the ALJ’s orders
and ID, as well as the parties’ petitions
and responses thereto, the Commission
has determined to review the ID in part,
as follows:
The Commission has determined to
review and, on review, take no position
on the ID’s findings regarding the
following issues: (1) Whether INVT has
standing before the Commission to
assert the ’590, ’587, and ’439 patents;
(2) whether INVT satisfied the economic
prong of the domestic industry
requirement; and (3) whether
Respondents’ affirmative defenses of (i)
patent exhaustion, (ii) equitable
estoppel and waiver, and (iii) unclean
hands bar the requested relief.
The Commission has determined not
to review the remaining findings in the
final ID.
Accordingly, the Commission has
determined to affirm the final ID’s
finding of no violation of section 337.
The investigation is terminated.

The Commission has also determined
to deny Apple’s motion for sanctions
because the information at issue was not
disclosed to unauthorized persons nor
was it placed on the public record. See
Apple Motion, Exh. 13.
The Commission vote for these
determinations took place on June 1,
2020.
