Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 155 / Monday, August 12, 2024 / Notices Semiconductor Corp., Appeal No. 2023– 147, On Petition and Motion (Sept. 25, 2023). On October 16, 2023, the ALJ issued an order regarding AMD’s motion to sanction Realtek for failing to accurately answer certain interrogatories and produce relevant documents regarding Realtek’s earlier litigations against Avago Technologies General IP (Singapore) Pte., Ltd and Broadcom Corp. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Order No. 39 (Oct. 16, 2023). Order No. 39 determined Realtek had engaged in sanctionable acts during discovery, but deferred ruling on AMD’s sanctions motion until after the hearing. The ALJ ultimately sanctioned Realtek for discovery misconduct. The ALJ held an evidentiary hearing from October 16–20, 2023. On November 14, 2023, the Commission terminated the investigation as to claim 9 of the ’582 patent and claim 14 of the ’218 patent, based on Realtek’s withdrawal of those claims. Order No. 40 (Oct. 20, 2023), unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Nov. 14, 2023). On January 19, 2024, the presiding ALJ issued a combined FID and Recommended Determination on Remedy and Bond (‘‘RD’’). The FID finds no violation of section 337 for any of the three patents at issue because: (i) asserted claims 1, 2, and 8 of the ’245 patent are infringed but invalid as anticipated; (ii) asserted claims 12, 13, and 15–18 of the ’218 patent are infringed but invalid as obvious; (iii) asserted claims 1–4 of the ’582 patent are not infringed, while claims 1–3 (but not claim 4) are also invalid as obvious; and (iv) Realtek failed to satisfy the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement for any of the three asserted patents. FID at 252. The FID also finds that Realtek satisfied the technical prong of the domestic industry requirement for each patent. Id. On February 2, 2024, Realtek and AMD each filed petitions for review of certain adverse findings in the FID. Realtek, however, did not petition for review of the FID’s finding that the asserted claims of the ’245 patent are invalid. On February 12, 2024, Realtek and AMD filed their respective responses to the opposing petitions for review. On June 11, 2024, the Commission determined to review the FID in part. 89 FR 51366–70 (June 17, 2024) (‘‘WTR Notice’’). In particular, the Commission determined to review the FID’s findings on claim construction, infringement, and anticipation or obviousness of the asserted claims of the ’218 patent and VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:30 Aug 09, 2024 Jkt 262001 ’582 patent, the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement, and the sanction against Realtek. The Commission did not review, and thus adopted, the FID’s findings that the asserted claims of the ’245 patent are invalid, that the claims of the ’218 patent are not invalid for lack of written description or enablement, that the claims of the ’518 patent are not invalid for lack of written description, that Mr. Baik was properly precluded from testifying as a fact witness at the evidentiary hearing, and that Winston should not be disqualified from representing AMD. The Commission included a briefing schedule for the issues under review and remedy, bond, and the public interest. On June 19, 2024, the parties filed a joint motion to terminate the investigation due to a settlement agreement and to suspend the Commission’s briefing schedule. The parties also requested that the Commission reconsider its previous determination not to review certain findings in the FID and, on review, take no position on any findings. On June 27, 2024, the Commission determined to suspend briefing on the issues under review and on remedy, bond, and the public interest, pending resolution of the parties’ motion to terminate. See Comm’n Notice (June 27, 2024). On July 26, 2024, the parties corrected their joint motion by replacing the original, overly redacted public version of their term sheet with a version that was properly redacted in compliance with Commission Rules 201.6(a), 210.21(b), 19 CFR 201.6(a), 210.21(b). Upon review of the parties’ submissions, the Commission has determined to terminate the investigation due to the settlement agreement, in accordance with Commission Rule 210.21(b), 19 CFR 210.21(b). The Commission finds that the parties have represented that their settlement agreement resolves all issues in this and other litigations, and that there are no other agreements, written or oral, express or implied, between the parties concerning the subject matter of this investigation, in satisfaction of Commission Rule 210.21(b), 19 CFR 210.21(b). The Commission denies the request to reconsider its previous determinations not to review certain findings in the FID, as set forth in the Commission’s WTR Notice, and on review to take no position with respect to the unreviewed issues addressed in the FID. Pursuant to Commission Rule 210.42(h), 19 CFR 210.42(h), unreviewed initial determinations become the final determinations of the PO 00000 Frm 00091 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65671 Commission. While the Commission may reconsider its prior determination on whether to review an initial determination under Rule 210.47, 19 CFR 210.47, the parties have presented no good cause or other justification for doing so here. See Corrected Joint Mot. at 2–4. This investigation is hereby terminated in its entirety. The Commission vote for this determination took place on August 6, 2024. 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).

Background Recent estimates suggest that there are more than one million young adults (ages 16 through 28) on the autism spectrum in the U.S. who offer myriad strengths to potential employers yet face unique challenges in attaining and maintaining employment. The mix of challenges facing young adults on the autism spectrum during the transition to adulthood and employment vary. About 1 in 3 also have an intellectual disability (Maenner et al. 2020; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) 2017), and prevalence estimates of minimally and nonverbal status across studies converge at around 30 percent (Tager-Flusberg and Kasari 2013). People on the spectrum also have high rates of co-occurring medical and mental health conditions, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, and depression (Kerns et al. 2020). An additional challenge for young adults on the spectrum is that many will need various kinds of support from multiple providers and across different systems of care, and they can face increasing difficulty meeting their complex service needs as they transition to adult service systems (Foster and Gifford 2005; Shattuck et al. 2011). These factors can combine to make it challenging for youth on the autism spectrum to attain and maintain employment. Public policy increasingly acknowledges the importance of addressing the employment-related challenges facing young adults on the autism spectrum.
