`certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos.
`7,812,828 (‘‘the ’828 Patent’’); 7,663,607
`(‘‘the ’607 Patent’’); and 5,379,430. The
`Commission’s notice of investigation
`named Motorola, Inc. n/k/a Motorola
`Solutions of Schaumburg, Illinois
`(‘‘Motorola Solutions’’) and Motorola as
`respondents. The Office of Unfair
`Import Investigation was named as a
`participating party. The Commission
`subsequently terminated Motorola
`Solutions as a respondent based on
`withdrawal of allegations pursuant to
`Commission Rule 210.21(a)(1) (19 CFR
`210.21(a)(1)). Notice (Aug. 31, 2011).
`On January 13, 2012, the ALJ issued
`his final ID, finding no violation of
`section 337. On March 16, 2012, the
`Commission issued a notice,
`determining to review the ID in part,
`and on review, to affirm the ALJ’s
`determination of no violation and to
`terminate the investigation. 77 FR
`16860–62 (Mar. 22, 2012). On April 13,
`2012, Apple timely appealed the
`Commission’s final determination of no
`violation of section 337 as to the ’607
`and ’828 patents to the United States
`Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
`On August 7, 2013, the Federal Circuit
`affirmed-in-part, reversed-in-part, and
`vacated-in-part the Commission’s
`decision and remanded for further
`proceedings. Apple, Inc. v. Int’l Trade
`Comm’n., 725 F.3d 1356 (Fed. Cir.
`2013). On September 6, 2013, intervenor
`Motorola filed a combined petition for
`panel rehearing and rehearing en banc
`concerning the panel’s holding that the
`Commission failed to consider
`secondary considerations in finding
`claim 10 of the ’607 patent invalid for
`obviousness. On November 8, 2013, the
`Court denied the petition. The mandate
`issued on November 15, 2013, returning
`jurisdiction to the Commission.
`On May 6, 2014, the Commission
`issued a Notice and Order remanding
`the investigation for an ALJ to make
`certain findings concerning
`infringement, validity, and domestic
`industry with respect to the ’607 and
`’828 patents. 79 FR 26993–95 (May 12,
`2014).
`On May 22, 2014, Apple and Motorola
`filed a joint motion to terminate the
`remand investigation based on a
`settlement agreement reached between
`Apple and Motorola’s parent company,
`Google Inc. On May 27, 2014, the
`Commission investigative attorney filed
`a response not opposing the
`termination.
`On May 28, 2014, the ALJ issued the
`subject ID, granting the joint motion for
`termination pursuant to section
`210.21(b) of the Commission’s Rules of
`Practice and Procedure. No petitions for
`review were filed.
`
`The Commission has determined not
`to review the subject ID.
`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).

`ACTION: Notice.
`SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
`the presiding administrative law judge
`has issued a Final Initial Determination
`on Violation of Section 337 and
`Recommended Determination on
`Remedy and Bond in the above-
`captioned investigation. The
`Commission is soliciting comments
`from the public on public interest issues
`raised by the recommended relief,
`specifically that if the Commission were
`to find a violation of section 337, 19
`U.S.C. 1337, that the Commission issue
`limited exclusion orders directed to the
`Nokia and ZTE respondents and cease
`and desist orders directed to the Nokia
`respondents. The ALJ recommended
`that implementation of any limited
`exclusion order be delayed by six
`months. The ALJ rejected the
`respondents’ arguments that the public
`interest stands in the way of relief for
`the complainants. This notice is
`soliciting public interest comments from
`the public only. Parties are to file public
`interest submissions pursuant to 19 CFR
`210.50(a)(4).

`SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
`337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 provides
`that if the Commission finds a violation
`it shall exclude the articles concerned
`from the United States:
`unless, after considering the effect of such
`exclusion upon the public health and
`welfare, competitive conditions in the United
`States economy, the production of like or
`directly competitive articles in the United
`States, and United States consumers, it finds
`that such articles should not be excluded
`from entry.
`19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(1). A similar
`provision applies to cease and desist
`orders. 19 U.S.C. 1337(f)(1).
`The Commission is interested in
`further development of the record on
`the public interest in these
`investigations. Accordingly, members of
`the public are invited to file
`submissions of no more than five (5)

`concerning the public interest in light of
`the administrative law judge’s
`Recommended Determination on
`Remedy and Bond issued in this
`investigation on June 13, 2014.
`Comments should address whether
`issuance of a limited exclusion order
`and/or cease and desist orders in this
`investigation would affect the public
`health and welfare in the United States,
`competitive conditions in the United
`States economy, the production of like
`or directly competitive articles in the
`United States, or United States
`consumers.
`In particular, the Commission is
`interested in comments that:
`(i) Explain how the articles
`potentially subject to the recommended
`orders are used in the United States;
`(ii) identify any public health, safety,
`or welfare concerns in the United States
`relating to the recommended orders;
`(iii) identify like or directly
`competitive articles that complainant,
`its licensees, or third parties make in the
`United States which could replace the
`subject articles if they were to be
`excluded;
`(iv) indicate whether complainant,
`complainant’s licensees, and/or third
