`irreparable harm if temporary relief is
`not granted, that the balance of
`hardships favor granting temporary
`relief, or that the public interest favors
`granting temporary relief.
`On August 22, 2014, FMC filed
`comments contending that the ALJ
`made numerous errors of law and fact
`in the ID. On August 26, 2014,
`Respondents and the Commission
`investigative attorney filed responses
`contending that the ALJ did not err.
`Having examined the record of this
`investigation, including the ALJ’s ID
`and the submissions from the parties,
`the Commission has determined that
`FMC has not proven that it is entitled
`to temporary relief. The Commission
`affirms the ALJ’s findings with certain
`modified reasoning. A Commission
`Opinion will issue shortly.
`The authority for the Commission’s
`determination is contained in section
`337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as

`SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
`Commission instituted this investigation
`on June 18, 2013 based on a complaint
`filed on May 13, 2013, by Black Hills
`Media, LLC (‘‘BHM’’) of Wilmington,
`Delaware. 78 FR 36573–74. The
`complaint alleged violations of section
`337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
`amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the
`importation into the United States, the
`sale for importation, and the sale within
`the United States after importation of
`certain digital media devices, including
`televisions, blu-ray disc players, home
`theater systems, tablets and mobile
`
`phones, components thereof and
`associated software by reason of
`infringement of certain claims of the
`following U.S. Patent Nos.: 8,028,323
`(‘‘the ’323 patent’’); 8,214,873 (‘‘the ’873
`patent’’); 8,230,099 (‘‘the ’099 patent’’);
`8,045,952 (‘‘the ’952 patent’’); 8,050,652
`(‘‘the ’652 patent’’); and 6,618,593 (‘‘the
`’593 patent’’). The complaint further
`alleged that an industry in the United
`States exists as required by subsection
`(a)(2) of section 337. The complaint
`named the following respondents:
`Samsung; LG; Toshiba; Panasonic;
`Sharp Corporation of Osaka, Japan; and
`Sharp Electronics Corporation of
`Mahwah, New Jersey (collectively,
`‘‘Sharp’’).
`On September 10, 2013, the
`Commission issued notice of its
`determination not to review the ALJ’s ID
`(Order No. 17) granting Google Inc.’s
`motion to intervene as a party to the
`investigation. On November 20, 2013,
`the Commission issued notice of its
`determination not to review the ALJ’s ID
`(Order No. 23) terminating the
`investigation as to Sharp based on a
`settlement agreement. On January 7,
`February 11, and April 10, 2014, the
`Commission issued notice of its
`determinations not to review the ALJ’s
`IDs (Order Nos. 32, 35, and 49–50)
`terminating the investigation as to the
`following: The ’323 and ’099 patents;
`claims 2, 6–8, 15–19, 22, 25–27, 31, 35–
`36, and 44 of the ’873 patent; claims 3–
`4, 6–7, 10, 42–45, 47–50, 52, and 55 of
`the ’652 patent; claims 1, 4, 10, 13–17,
`19, and 20–21 of the ’593 patent; and
`claims 1–4 and 10–12 of the ’952 patent.
`On March 14, 2014, the Commission
`issued notice of its determination not to
`review the ALJ’s ID (Order No. 47)
`terminating the investigation as to
`claims 1, 11, and 13 of the ’652 patent
`and claim 27 of the ’873 patent with
`respect to Panasonic. On July 3, 2014,
`BHM and Panasonic filed an unopposed
`joint motion to terminate the
`investigation as to Panasonic based on
`a settlement agreement. Therefore, the
`remaining respondents are LG,
`Samsung, and Toshiba.
`On July 7, 2014, the ALJ issued the
`final ID finding no violation of section
`337 by the remaining respondents. The
`ALJ found that: (1) There was no
`importation of ‘‘articles that infringe’’
`under section 337(a)(1)(B)(i) as to any of
`respondents’ accused products with
`respect to any asserted claim of the
`patents at issue; (2) none of the accused
`products of the remaining respondents
`infringe any asserted claim of the
`patents at issue; (3) the domestic
`industry requirement (both economic
`and technical prongs) had not been
`satisfied with respect to any asserted

`patent; and (4) the asserted claims of the
`’873 patent are invalid under 35 U.S.C.
`112, ¶ 1 and 35 U.S.C. 102 and/or 103.
`On July 16, 2014, the ALJ issued his
`recommendation on remedy and
`bonding (‘‘RD’’) in the event the
`Commission found a violation of section
`337. On July 21, 2014, BHM filed a
`petition for review of the final ID only
`with respect to the ’873 and ’652 patents
`and the remaining respondents
`(including intervenor) filed a joint
`petition for review with respect to all
`asserted patents. On July 29, 2014,
`BHM, the remaining respondents, and
`the Commission investigative attorney
`each filed a response to the opposing
`petition for review. On July 30, 2014,
`the remaining respondents (including
`intervenor), filed an unopposed motion
`for leave to file a corrected joint
`response to BHM’s petition for review
`along with the corrected joint response.
`The Commission has determined to
`grant respondents’ motion.
`Upon considering the record in this
`investigation, including the final ID and
`the parties’ submissions, the
`Commission has determined to review-
`in-part the final ID under 19 CFR
`210.44. On such review of the final ID,
`the Commission has modified a specific
`portion of the final ID and has vacated
`all portions of the final ID that reference
`Suprema, Inc. v. ITC, 742 F.3d 1350
`(Fed. Cir. 2013), reh’g en banc granted
`and vacated, 2014 WL 3036241 (May
`13, 2014). Specifically, the Commission
`has modified the following portion of
`the final ID: Section VIII.A.4, on page
`460, before the last period ‘‘.’’ of the
`citation to Certain Male Prophylactic
`Devices, the citation language ‘‘; Certain
`Integrated Circuit Chips and Products
`Containing the Same, Inv. No. 337–TA–
`859, Comm’n Op. at 30–51 (August 22,
`2014)’’ has been inserted. The
`Commission has also vacated the
`following portions of the final ID: (1)
`Section III.A, the last paragraph on
`pages 9–10; (2) Section III.A.1, the
`citation language ‘‘Suprema, slip op. at
`18 (’’ and the closing parenthesis ‘‘)’’ in
`this citation on page 10; (3) the entirety
`of Section III.A.2.a on page 11; and (4)
`the entirety of Section III.C.3 on pages
`20–23. The Commission has determined
`not to review the remainder of the final
`ID under 19 CFR 210.42(h)(2).
`In addition, the Commission has
`determined that BHM did not petition
`for review of the ALJ’s finding in the
`final ID of invalidity of the asserted
`claims of the ’873 patent under 35
`U.S.C. 102 and/or 103, and therefore has
`abandoned these issues under 19 CFR
`210.43(b)(2). See Allied Corp. v. ITC,
`850 F.2d 1573 (Fed. Cir. 1988). The
`Commission has also determined that
`
`]]
`
`BHM has petitioned for review of
`certain issues based on arguments that
`BHM did not set forth in detail in its
`pre- and/or post-hearing briefing before
`the ALJ, and therefore the Commission
`has determined that these issues are
`waived and deemed abandoned. See
`Ajinomoto Co., Inc. v. ITC, 597 F.3d
`1267 (Fed. Cir. 2010); Order No. 2 (ALJ’s
`Ground Rules, June 19, 2013). These
`abandoned issues are the following: (1)
`Infringement of the ’652 patent by
`accused Samsung and LG products with
`the Slacker application preinstalled; and
`(2) satisfaction of the economic prong of
`the domestic industry requirement with
`respect to all asserted patents.
`Specifically, these issues are found to be
`waived and therefore deemed
`abandoned because: (1) BHM did not
`present evidence of infringement with
`respect to Samsung and LG product
`models with the Slacker application
`preinstalled before the ALJ; and (2)
`BHM did not argue allocations of [[
`investments under 19 U.S.C.
`1337(a)(3)(A), (B) with respect to
`specific domestic industry products
`(that practice the asserted patents)
`identified in its ‘‘Identification of
`Models of Domestic Industry Products’’
`in its pre-hearing brief.
`The Commission has also determined
`to grant the joint motion to terminate
`the investigation as to Panasonic.
`Section 337(c) provides, in relevant
`part, that the Commission may
`terminate an investigation ‘‘on the basis
`of an agreement between the private
`parties to the investigation.’’ When the
`investigation is before the Commission,
`as is the case here, the Commission may
`act on a motion to terminate on the basis
`of settlement. See Certain Insect Traps,
`Inv. No. 337–TA–498, Notice of
`Commission Determination to
`Terminate the Investigation in its
`Entirety on the Basis of a Settlement
`Agreement, 69 Fed. Reg. 63176 (Oct. 29,
`2004). Section 210.21(b) of the
`Commission’s Rules of Practice and
`Procedure (19 CFR 210.21(b)), which
`implements section 337(c), requires that
`a motion for termination based upon a
`settlement contain a copy of that
`settlement agreement, as well as a
`statement that there are no other
`agreements, written or oral, express or
`implied, between the parties concerning
`the subject matter of the investigation.
`The joint motion complies with these
`requirements.
`The Commission also considers the
`public interest when terminating an
`investigation based upon a settlement
`agreement. 19 CFR 210.50(b)(2). We find
`no evidence that termination of the
`investigation as to Panasonic will
`prejudice the public interest or that
`
`settlement will adversely impact the
`public health and welfare, competitive
`conditions in the United States
`economy, the production of like or
`directly competitive articles in the
`United States, or United States
`consumers. Moreover, the public
`interest favors settlement to avoid
`needless litigation and to conserve
`public and private resources.
`Accordingly, the Commission hereby
`grants the consent motion to terminate
`this investigation as to Panasonic on the
`basis of a settlement agreement.
`Finally, the Commission has
`terminated the investigation with a
`finding of no violation of section 337.
`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.
