`IP Holdings, LLC of Irvine, California; and Eyetalk365, LLC of Cornelius, North Carolina
`(collectively, “Complainants”). 86 FR 7412 (Jan. 28, 2021). The complaint, as supplemented,
`alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, due to
`the importation into the United States, sale for importation, or sale in the United States after
`importation of certain IP camera systems including video doorbells and components thereof by
`reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,432,638; 9,485,478; 10,097,796;
`10,097,797; 10,200,660; 10,523,906; and 10,674,120. Id. The complaint also alleges the
`existence of a domestic industry. Id. The notice of investigation names as respondents Vivint
`Smart Home, Inc. of Provo, Utah; SimpliSafe, Inc. of Boston, Massachusetts, and Arlo
`
`

`

`Technologies Inc. of San Jose, California (collectively, “Respondents”). Id. The Office of
`Unfair Import Investigations was not named as a party. Id.
`
`On May 21, 2021, Respondents filed a motion for summary determination that all patent
`claims asserted in this investigation are anticipated. On June 3, 2021, Complainants filed a brief
`in opposition.
`
`On September 15, 2021, the presiding ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 16) granting
`the motion. The ID found that there was no genuine issue of material fact as to whether the
`asserted patents are invalid.
`
`On September 27, 2021, Complainants filed a petition for review. On October 4, 2021,
`Respondents filed a response thereto.
`
`The Commission has determined to extend the due date for determining whether to
`review the subject ID to November 10, 2021.
`
`
`The Commission vote for this determination took place on November 1, 2021.
`
`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.
