`
`Re:
`
`Complaint of Certain Point-to-Point Network Communication Devices and
`Products Containing Same
`
`Dear Acting Secretary Barton:
`
`Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. represents behalf of Straight Path IP
`Group, Inc. ("SPIG") in the matter of the above referenced Complaint, which is being filed
`pursuantto Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U. S. C. § 1337.
`
`Pursuant to Commission Rules 201.6(b) and 2IO.5(d), SPIG respectfully requests confidential
`treatment of the information contained in Confidential Exhibits 1, lA, lB, IC, 46 and 46A. The
`information contained in these exhibits qualifies as confidential information pursuant to 19
`C.F.R. § 201.6 in that it discloses proprietary commercial information, proprietary commercial
`relationships, andlor proprietary business information that are not otherwise publicly available,
`and because the disclosure of such information would cause substantial harm to Straight Path,
`and would also impair the Commission's ability in the futur.e to obtain such types of information
`in performance of its statutory function.
`.
`
`I certify that the proprietary confidential commercial information, proprietary commercial
`relationships, andl or proprietary business information are not reasonably available to the public,
`and thus warrant confidential treatment.

`
`Investigation No. 337-TA-_
`
`COMPLAINANT STRAIGHT PATH IP GROUP, INC.'S
`";';'STATEMENT ON THE PUBLIC INTEREST
`
`Pursuant to International Trade Commission ("Commission") Rule § 210.8(b),
`
`Complainant Straight Path IP Group, Inc. ("Straight Path") submits this Statement on the Public
`
`Interest with respect to the remedial orders it seeks against the respondents named in the
`
`complaint (collectively, "Respondents").)
`
`Straight Path seeks a limited exclusion order pursuant to 19 U.S.C. § 1337(d) specifically
`
`directed to each named Respondent barring from entry into the United States certain point-to-
`
`point network communications devices and products containing same that infringe one or more
`
`of the claims of United States Patent Nos. 6,009,469, 6,108,704, and/or 6,131,121 (collectively,
`
`the "Asserted Patents"). Straight Path also seeks a cease arid desist order pursuant to 19 U.S .C.
`
`§ 1337(f) prohibiting each domestic Respondent from engaging in the importation into the
`
`United States and/or sale within the United States after importation of certain point-to-point
`
`network communications devices and products containing same, that infringe, either directly or
`
`indirectly, one or more claims of the Asserted Patents.
`
`1 The Respondents are: AmTran Logistics, Inc.; AmTran Technology Co., Ltd:; LG Electronics Inc., LG Electronics
`U.S.A., Inc., LG Electronics MobileComm U.S.A, Inc., Panasonic Corporation, Panasonic Corporation of North
`America, Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc., Sharp Corporation, Sharp Electronics Corporation, Sony Computer

`
`The issuance of the requested relief will not adversely impact the public health, safety or
`
`welfare conditions in the United States, competitive conditions in the United States economy or
`
`the production of like or directly competitive articles in the United States. The requested relief
`
`will, however, have the beneficial effect on the public interest of promoting and defending
`
`intellectual property rights in the United States.
`
`I.
`
`THE REQUESTED REMEDIAL ORDERS ARE IN ACCORD WITH THE
`PUBLIC INT:~~ST
`
`The Commission has recognized a strong public interest in enforcing intellectual property
`
`rights. See Certain Baseband Processor Chips and Chipsets, Inv. No. 337-TA-543, Comm'n
`
`Op., 2007 ITC LEXIS 621 at *240 (June 19,2007) ("[I]n assessing public interest factors when
`
`granting relief, the Commission relies on the strong public interest in enforcing intellectual
`
`property rights, and ... has denied relief on public interest grounds only three times in the
`
`history of Section 337.") (internal footnote omitted). Indeed, the Commission observed:
`
`The Senate report [accompanying the 1988 statutory changes to Section 337] makes
`clear that there is a public interest in the enforcement of intellectual property:
`
`The owner of intellectual property has been granted a temporary statutory
`right to exclude others from making, using, or selling the protected
`property .... The importation of any infringing merchandise derogates
`from the statutory right, diminishes the value of the intellectual property,
`and thus indirectly harms the public interest.
`
`Id. at *219 (quoting S. Rep. 100-71 at 128-29 (1987).
`
`In the three instances in which the Commission found the public interest to be
`
`outweighed by other factors, "the exclusion order was denied because inadequate supply within
`
`the United States-by both the patentee and domestic licensees-meant that an exclusion order
`
`would deprive the public of products necessary for some important health or welfare need:
`
`.~
`
`energy efficient automobiles, basic scientific research, or hospital equipment." Spansion, Inc. v.
`
`lTC, 629 F.3d 1331, 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2010). No such considerations are present here.

`
`

`
`A.
`
`The Targeted Articles Are Used in the United States for Communication,
`General Connectivity, and Entertainment.
`
`The products accused in this investigation are certain point-to-point network
`
`communication devices and products containing same. They include smartphone handsets, tablet
`
`computers, eReaders, smart TVs, gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, set-top boxes, and VoIP
`
`telephone systems. They establish point-to-point network communications used, inter alia, to
`
`place and receive tel~fJione calls, play games, listen to music, watch videos, and read books.
`
`"\
`
`';!'
`
`B.
`
`There Are No Public Health, Safety, or Welfare Concerns Relating to the
`Requested Remedial Orders.
`
`The accused products are useful and they provide entertainment, but they do not
`
`implicate any health, safety, or welfare concerns. Excluding the accused products would not
`
`leave medical needs unfilled, impede scientific research, interfere with important national
`
`interests, or affect any other health, safety, or welfare concerns. As described below, there are
`
`numerous licensed sources of smartphone handsets, tablet computers, eReaders, smart TV s,
`
`gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, set-top boxes, and VoIP telephone systems, and, these
`
`licensed sources are capable of providing sufficient quantities of the products to ensure that
`
`consumer demand is met. And, to the extent accused products are used by the U.S. Government,
`
`government sales are exempted from exclusion orders by statute. See 19 U.S.C. § 1337(1).
`
`C.
`
`Like or Directly Competitive Articles Made by Complainant, Its Licensees,
`or Third Parties Could Replace the Subject Articles if They Were Excluded.
`
`There is intense competition among the manufacturers of smartphone handsets, tablet
`
`computers, eReaders, smart TVs, gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, set-top boxes, and VoIP
`
`telephone systems. Indeed, a number of third patW;smanufaciure products that are like andlor
`
`....
`
`directly competitive with those accused in this investigation, but that are not accused in this
`
`investigation, and would therefore not be the subject of the requested remedial orders. For
`
`3
`
`SONY EXHIBIT 1012- Page 7
`
`7
`
`

`
`example, third parties Apple Inc. ("Apple"), and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Samsung"),
`
`together make well over 60% of the smartphone handsets and tablet computers sold in the United
`
`States. Their products directly compete with the accused smartphone and tablet computer
`
`products, and could easily replace the accused products if they were excluded. Similarly, third
`
`party Amazon.com Inc. makes nearly 50% of the e-readers sold in the United States, third parties
`
`Samsung make over 50% of the smart TVs sold in the United States, Samsung also makes over
`.. :~~/.
`50% of the Blu-ray players sold in the United States, third party and Straight Path licensee
`
`Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft"), together with third party Nintendo Co., Ltd make over
`
`50% of the gaming consoles sold in the United States, Apple and Samsung make at least 40% of
`
`the set-top boxes sold in the United States, and various third parties, including, RTX America,
`
`Inc., and Cisco Systems, Inc. make at least 40% of the VoIP telephone systems sold in the
`
`United States. These third parties' products compete directly with the accused Blu-ray players,
`
`smart TVs, e-readers, gaming consoles, set-top boxes, and VoIP telephone systems, and could
`
`easily replace the accused products if they were excluded. Thus, even if the Commission were to
`
`issue all of Straight Path's requested remedial orders, many non-accused alternatives to the
`
`accused products, including those made by the third parties identified above, would still be
`
`available to consumers.
`
`D.
`
`Straight Path's Licensees, and/or Third Parties Have the Capacity to Replace
`the Volume of Articles Subject to the Requested Remedial Orders in a
`Commercially Reasonable Time in the United States.
`
`Due to the crowded and intensely competitive market for the types of products at issue in
`
`this investigation, third parties manufacturing non-accused versions could quickly fill any void if
`." .' , _ ...... -.:.
`..
`.
`. . ' .
`
`,
`
`"
`
`'
`
`.
`
`'
`
`-,
`
`the Commission were to issue the requested remedial orders. The manufacturers of the kinds of
`
`products accused in this investigation are extremely nimble in responding to dynamic shifts in
`
`consumer demand for quantity and for different product features because they rely heavily on
`
`4
`
`SONY EXHIBIT 1012- Page 8
`
`8
`
`

`
`outsourced components and on relationships with manufacturing partners who are able to
`
`provide them with ever greater flexibility and speed in securing additional production and
`
`.. . .. ~ .
`
`distribution capacity. Thus, various third parties, including Apple, Samsung, and Straight Path
`
`licensee Microsoft, would be in a position to fill any void created by the issuance of the
`
`requested remedial orders in a commercially reasonable time-in some cases in a matter of days.
`
`E.
`
`The Requested Remedial Orders Would Minimally Impact Consumers.
`,,-1..-
`The requested 'femedial orders may have some effect on consumer choice, but even if
`
`they do, this is not a sufficient basis for denying relief. See Certain Personal Data and Mobile
`
`Communications Devices and Related Software, Inv. No. 337-TA-710, Comm'n Op., 2011 ITC
`
`LEXIS 2874 at *111 (Dec. 29, 2011) ("The right to exclude under a patent, 35 U.S.C. § 154, is
`,
`the right to exclude a competitor's products; such exclusion necessarily affects consumer choice.
`
`Accordingly, the mere constriction of choice cannot be a sufficient basis for denying the issuance
`
`of an exclusion order."). Nor is a price increase sufficient to warrant preclusion of a remedial
`
`order. See Certain Digital Televisions and Certain Products Containing Same, Inv. No. 336-
`
`TA-617, Comm'n Op., U.S.I.T.C. at 16 (Apr. 23, 2009) ("[T]he Commission has consistently
`
`held that the benefit of lower prices to consumers does not outweigh the benefit of providing
`
`complainants with an effective remedy for an intellectual property-based section 337 violation.").
`
`II.
`
`CONCL US ION
`
`The Commission's issuance of the requested remedial orders will serve the strong public
`
`interest in protecting intellectual property rights, while at the same time having no adverse
`
`impact 011 the public interest. Althougll they are useful and entertaining, the accused products
`
`are not necessary to, or even implicated in, the public health or welfare, and, should the
`
`requested orders issue, an adequate supply of substitute devices will readily be available from
`
`third-party manufacturers in a commercially reasonable time.
