Captain Mobile Parts, Inc. of Dallas, TX;
and Mengtor Inc. of El Monte, CA. Id.
The Office of Unfair Import
Investigations (‘‘OUII’’ or ‘‘Staff’’) was
also named as a party in this
investigation. Id.
On March 15, 2023, the presiding ALJ
granted Mianyang BOE Optoelectronics
Technology Co., Ltd.’s (‘‘Mianyang
BOE’’) unopposed motion to intervene
as a respondent in this investigation and
accorded Mianyang BOE respondent
status. (Order No. 7) (Mar. 15, 2023)
unreviewed by, Comm’n Notice (Mar.
22, 2023).
On March 10, 2023, Samsung Display
moved for leave to amend the complaint
and notice of investigation to add
allegations of infringement related to
claims 1–6, 10, 12, 17, 19, 21–23, 40–
47, and 51–52 of U.S. Patent No.
11,594,578 (‘‘the ’578 patent’’). ID at 1.
In its motion, Samsung argued that the
’578 patent recently issued and ‘‘is a
continuation of two other patents (U.S.
Patent Nos. 9,818,803 (‘the ’803 patent’)
and 10,854,683 (‘the ’683 patent’))
asserted in this investigation.’’ Id. at 2.
Samsung further claimed that it worked
‘‘diligently to prepare the instant
motion’’ and that respondents ‘‘will not
be prejudiced as the investigation is ‘in
its early stages’ and ‘no new
technologies or products will be

implicated by addition of the ’578
Patent.’ ’’ Id. at 2.
On March 22, 2023, respondents AptAbility, Mobile Defenders, DFW
Imports, Electronics Universe, eTech
Parts Plus, Gadgetfix, Injured Gadgets,
LCTech International, Parts4Cells,
Phone LCD Parts LLC d/b/a Parts4LCD
(together, ‘‘Phone LCD Parts’’), and
Wholesale Gadget Parts (collectively,
the ‘‘Participating Respondents’’) filed a
response opposing the motion. Id. at 1.
They argued that ‘‘the ’578 patent was
allowed on December 23, 2022, almost
three months ago, and before Samsung
Display filed its complaint.’’ Id. at 2.
They also claimed that ‘‘ ‘forcing [them]
to defend against twenty-five additional
claims would be burdensome and
prejudicial.’ ’’ Id. at 3 (brackets in ID).
They asked that if the motion is granted,
the procedural schedule should be
extended ‘‘to mitigate any prejudice.’’
Id.
Also on March 22, 2023, Staff filed a
response in support of Samsung
Display’s motion. See id. at 2–3. The
Staff argued that adding the ’578 patent
is in the public interest ‘‘ ‘because doing
so would allow for the efficient
adjudication of all three patents.’ ’’
However, the Staff requested that ‘‘the
parties be permitted to submit a joint
proposal regarding a revised procedural
schedule’’ to avoid any prejudice to
respondents. See id. at 3.
‘‘Respondent [Mianyang BOE] filed a
notice of joinder as to the Participating
Respondents’ opposition on March 23,
2023.’’ Id. at 1–2.
On March 28, 2023, the ALJ issued
the subject ID (Order No. 8), granting
Samsung Display’s motion. The ID finds
that Samsung Display had established
good cause for the proposed amendment
pursuant to Commission Rule 210.14(b)
(19 CFR 210.14(b)). As the ID explains,
‘‘[w]hile the ’578 patent was allowed in
December, it formally issued on
February 28, 2023. . . . Samsung
Display could therefore not have
asserted the ’578 patent at the time it
filed its complaint or prior to institution
of this investigation.’’ Id. at 4. The ID
also states that ‘‘the ’578 patent is a
continuation of the ’683 patent, which
itself is a continuation of the ’803
patent.’’ Id. The ID notes that all three
patents are ‘‘ ‘in the same family, name
the same inventor, and share the same
written description,’ and ‘[t]he products
accused of infringing the ’578 Patent are
the same as those accused of infringing
the ’803 and ’683 Patents.’ ’’ Id. (brackets
in ID). However, the ID determines that
‘‘to avoid prejudicing the Participating
Respondents (and Staff), an extension of
the procedural schedule is warranted.’’
Id. at 5.

No party filed a petition for review of
the subject ID.
The Commission has determined not
to review the subject ID. Pursuant to
Commission Rule 210.14, the Notice of
Investigation is amended to include
claims 1–6, 10, 12, 17, 19, 21–23, 40–
47, and 51–52 of the ’578 patent.
The Commission vote for this
determination took place on April 20,
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

The
Quarterly Census of Employment and
Wages Business Supplement (QBS) is a
versatile collection instrument designed
to capture information on the US
economy quicky and efficiently using
the BLS Annual Refiling Survey as the
data collection platform. The QBS
collection is designed to incorporate
new questionnaires as the need arises to
allow BLS to collect and publish
information quickly so that stakeholders
and data users can understand the
impact of specific events on the US
economy as they occur. The initial QBS
survey, the 2021 Business Response
Survey, collected information on how
establishments were responding to the
coronavirus pandemic and was followed
by the 2022 Business Response Survey
that captured information on telework,
hiring, and vacancies at establishments
as the economy began to emerge from
the pandemic. This third QBS survey,
the 2023 Business Response Survey, is
being conducted on behalf of the
Department of Labor’s Employment and
Training Administration (ETA). It will
collect information on employer’s
experiences with layoffs since the start
of the coronavirus pandemic and their
familiarity with state workforce
programs to better understand current
labor market conditions at this stage of
the coronavirus pandemic recovery and
inform ETA of business’ familiarity with
the Short-Time Compensation (STC)
program and other state workforce
programs. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on February 3, 2021 (86 FRN
8037).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 49
U.S.C. 5333(b), when Federal funds are
used to acquire, improve, or operate a
transit system, DOL must ensure that
the recipient of those funds establishes
arrangements to protect the rights of
affected transit employees. Federal law
requires such arrangements to be ‘‘fair
and equitable,’’ and DOL must certify
the arrangements before the U.S.
Department of Transportation’s Federal
Transit Administration (FTA) can award
certain funds to grantees. Pursuant to 29
CFR part 215, upon receipt of copies of
applications for Federal assistance
subject to 49 U.S.C. 5333(b) from the
FTA, together with a request for the
certification of employee protective
arrangements from the Department of
Labor, DOL will process those
applications. This ICR contains the
information collected when DOL refers
for review the grant application and the
proposed terms and conditions to
unions representing transit employees
in the service area of the project and to
the applicant and/or sub-recipient. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
December 23, 2022 (87 FR 78998).
