related to the ’593 patent. That same
day, Respondent BOE and the BLF
Respondents filed a joint contingent
petition for review. OUII did not file a
petition for review. On December 9,
2024, Complainant, Respondents, and
OUII each filed a response to the
petitions.
The Commission solicited
submissions from the public on the
public interest issues raised by the
recommended determination. 89 FR
92721 (Nov. 22, 2024). The Commission
received comments from Representative
John Moolenaar, Chairman of the House
Select Committee on China, and Dr.
Robert D. Atkinson of the Information
Technology & Innovation Foundation.
On January 8, 2025, SDC filed a notice
of supplemental authority to apprise the
Commission of the Patent Trial and
Appeal Board’s final written decisions
in inter partes review proceedings on
the ’578 patent and the ’803 patent. In
the final written decisions, the Board
found claim 21 of the ’803 patent
unpatentable and all other asserted
claims of the ’578 and ’803 patents at
issue in this investigation had not been
proven unpatentable. See Mianyang
BOE Optoelectronics Tech. Co., Ltd. v.
Samsung Display Co., Ltd., IPR2023–
00987, Final Written Decision (Jan. 6,
2025); Mianyang BOE Optoelectronics
Tech. Co., Ltd. v. Samsung Display Co.,
Ltd., IPR2023–01075, Final Written
Decision (Jan. 6, 2025).
On January 16, 2025, the Commission
determined to review the ID in part.
Specifically, the Commission
determined to review: (1) the ID’s
findings that the Commission has
statutory authority to investigate
Complainant SDC’s alleged violation
under section 337 and that Respondents
waived their argument that SDC lacked
the ability to bring this investigation
under Commission Rule 210.12; (2) the
ID’s findings related to the technical
prong for the ’803 patent; and (3) the
ID’s findings regarding the economic
prong of the domestic industry
requirement. 90 FR 8,034–036 (Jan. 23,
2024). The Commission determined not
to review any other findings presented
in the final ID, including the ID’s
finding of no violation of section 337
with respect to the ’593 patent. The
Commission requested briefing from the
parties on certain issues under review
and on remedy, the public interest, and
bonding. The parties filed their opening
written submissions on January 30,
2025, and their responsive written
submissions on February 6, 2025.
On review, the Commission has found
no violation of section 337 with respect
to claims 5 and 21 of the ’803 patent;
claims 5, 10, 17, 40–41, and 47 of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
’578 patent; and claims 2–3, 13, and 15–
16 of the ’599 patent. Specifically, the
Commission has determined to affirm
the ALJ’s finding that the Commission
has statutory authority to investigate
Complainant’s alleged violation under
section 337. The Commission has also
determined to affirm the ID’s finding
that representative display panels in the
asserted domestic industry products
practice claim 21 of the ’803 patent. The
Commission has further determined to
affirm with modified reasoning the ID’s
finding that Complainant failed to
demonstrate the existence of a domestic
industry under sections 337(a)(3)(A) and
(B). Based on this dispositive finding,
the Commission has determined to take
no position on whether the asserted
domestic industry products also
practice claim 5 of the ’803 patent and
whether Respondents forfeited their
argument that Complainant is not the
owner of the Asserted Patents under
Commission Rule 210.12(a)(7).
Accordingly, the investigation is
terminated with a finding of no
violation. The Commission’s reasoning
in support of its determinations is set
forth more fully in its opinion issued
concurrently herewith.
The Commission vote for this
determination took place on March 19,
2025.
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).
By order of the Commission.
