Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission has imposed a sanction for the breach of the administrative protective order (``APO'') issued in this investigation. The Commission determined that the law firm of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP (``Quinn Emanuel'') breached the APO by failing to adequately control access to confidential business information (``CBI'') in the investigation and litigation in the U.S. District for the Northern District of California. As a result, Quinn Emanuel attorneys and employees of complainants Samsung Telecommunications America LLC and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (collectively, ``Samsung'') improperly disclosed CBI to more than 140 unauthorized persons over a fourteen- month period. Quinn Emanuel is being publicly reprimanded for pervasive problems at the firm in safeguarding CBI.
