SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 14, 2021, the Commission
instituted this investigation under
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (‘‘section
337’’), based on a complaint filed by
Motorola Solutions, Inc. of Chicago,
Illinois (‘‘Motorola Solutions’’);
Avigilon Corporation of British
Columbia, Canada; Avigilon Fortress
Corporation of British Columbia,
Canada; Avigilon Patent Holding 1
Corporation of British Columbia,
Canada (‘‘Avigilon Patent Holding’’);
and Avigilon Technologies Corporation
of British Columbia, Canada
(collectively, ‘‘Complainants’’). See 86
FR 51182–83 (Sept. 14, 2021). The
complaint alleges a violation of section
337 based upon the importation into the
United States, sale for importation, or
sale within the United States after
importation of certain video security
equipment and systems, related
software, components thereof, and
products containing same by reason of
infringement of certain claims of U.S.
Patent Nos. 7,868,912 (‘‘the ’912
patent’’); 10,726,312 (‘‘the ’312 patent’’);
and 8,508,607 (‘‘the ’607 patent’’)
(collectively, ‘‘the Asserted Patents’’).
Id. The complaint further alleges that a
domestic industry exists. Id. The notice
of investigation (‘‘NOI’’) names Verkada
Inc. of San Mateo, California
(‘‘Verkada’’) as the only respondent. Id.
The complaint and NOI were
previously amended to reflect the
transfer of all right, title, and interest in:
(1) the ’312 patent from Avigilon
Corporation to Motorola Solutions; (2)
the ’912 patent from Avigilon Fortress
Corporation to Motorola Solutions; and
(3) the ’607 patent from Avigilon Patent
Holding to Motorola Solutions. Order
No. 7 (Dec. 28, 2021), unreviewed by 87
FR 4658–59 (Jan. 28, 2022). The
complaint and NOI were further
amended to add a new licensee,
Avigilon USA Corporation of Dallas,
Texas, as an additional complainant. Id.
The Commission previously
terminated the investigation as to claims
4 and 10–12 of the ’312 patent based on
Complainants’ partial withdrawal of the
complaint. Order No. 58 (June 14, 2022),

unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (June 30,
2022). The Commission also previously
terminated the investigation as to claims
6, 15, 25, and 26 of the ’607 patent
based on Complainants’ partial
withdrawal of the complaint. Order No.
59 (July 13, 2022), unreviewed by
Comm’n Notice (Aug. 4, 2022).
On October 24, 2022, the presiding
administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued
a final initial determination (‘‘FID’’)
finding that a violation of section 337
has occurred in the importation into the
United States, the sale for importation,
or the sale within the United States after
importation, of certain video security
equipment and systems, related
software, components thereof, and
products containing same that infringe
claims 6–11 of the ’912 patent. The FID
further finds no violation of section 337
with respect to the remaining asserted
claims of the ’912 patent, or as to the
’312 patent or the ’607 patent. The FID
includes the ALJ’s recommended
determination on remedy, the public
interest, and bonding should the
Commission find a violation of section
337.
On November 23, 2022, Complainants
and Verkada each filed a submission on
the public interest pursuant to
Commission Rule 210.50(a)(4) (19 CFR
210.50(a)(4)). No submissions were
received in response to the Commission
notice seeking public interest
submissions. 87 FR 65827–28 (Nov. 1,
2022).
On January 12, 2023, the Commission
determined to review the FID in part. 88
FR 3435–37 (Jan. 19, 2023). Specifically,
the Commission determined to review
the FID’s findings: (1) regarding ‘‘subject
matter jurisdiction’’; (2) that certain
accused products infringe claims 6–11
of the ’912 patent and finding a
violation of section 337 as to those
claims; and (3) that asserted claims 6–
11 of the ’912 patent are not invalid as
anticipated or obvious. Id. The
Commission asked the parties to address
three questions related to the issues
under review with respect to the ’912
patent. Id.
On January 27, 2023, Complainants
and Verkada each filed an initial written
response to the Commission’s request
for briefing. On February 3, 2023,
Complainants and Verkada each filed a
reply submission.
Having reviewed the record of the
investigation, including the FID and the
parties’ submissions, the Commission
has determined to find no violation of
section 337 with respect to the ’912
patent. Specifically, the Commission
has determined to: (1) vacate the FID’s
finding that the Commission has
‘‘subject matter jurisdiction’’ because
PO 00000
Frm 00088
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
20553
‘‘subject matter jurisdiction’’ does not
apply to administrative agencies; (2)
affirm and supplement the FID’s finding
that respondent Verkada failed to
demonstrate the Video Surveillance and
Monitoring (‘‘VSAM’’) testbed system as
allegedly disclosed in multiple
documents existed as prior art; (3)
reverse the FID’s finding that asserted
claims 6–11 of the ’912 patent are not
anticipated by ‘‘Event Detection and
Analysis from Video Streams’’ by
Medioni et al., published in the IEEE
Transactions on Pattern Analysis and
Machine Intelligence, Vol. 23, No. 8 in
August 2001 (‘‘Medioni’’); (4) affirm and
supplement the FID’s finding that
asserted claims 6–11 of the ’912 patent
are not rendered obvious by Medioni in
combination with the asserted VSAM
testbed; and (5) take no position on the
issue of infringement of claims 6–11 of
the ’912 patent.
The investigation is terminated with a
finding of no violation of section 337.
The Commission’s reasoning in support
of its determinations is set forth more
fully in its opinion.
The Commission vote for this
determination took place on March 31,
2023.
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 Part
210 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part
210).
