UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
`WASHINGTON, D.C.
`
`Before The Honorable Thomas B. Pender
`Administrative Law Judge
`
`
`
`Investigation No. 337-TA-984
`
`
`
`
`In the Matter of
`
`CERTAIN COMPUTING OR GRAPHICS
`SYSTEMS, COMPONENTS THEREOF,
`AND VEHICLES CONTAINING SAME
`
`
`
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE INVESTIGATION AND STAY THE
`PROCEDURAL SCHEDULE AS TO
`RESPONDENT TEXAS INSTRUMENTS BASED ON SETTLEMENT
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. § 1337(c) and Commission Rule 210.21(b), Complainant
`
`Advanced Silicon Technologies LLC (“Advanced Silicon”) and Respondent Texas Instruments
`
`Incorporated (“TI”) (collectively, the “Settling Parties”), hereby submit this Joint Motion to
`
`Terminate Investigation 337-TA-984 and to Stay the Procedural Schedule as to Respondent TI
`
`only, in view of a Settlement and License Agreement (“Agreement”) between the Settling
`
`Parties.
`
`A true and correct copy of the Agreement, redacted to protect the disclosure of
`
`confidential business information, is attached to this submission as Public Exhibit A and an
`
`unredacted version in attached as Exhibit B. Contemporaneously with this filing, the Settling
`
`Parties are also filing a motion pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(a)(1), requesting that the
`
`ALJ limit service of the unredacted agreement to the Settling Parties and Staff. Also
`
`contemporaneously with this filing, the Settling Parties are filing a public version of this motion
`
`that will attach Public Exhibit A.
`
`Inv. No. 337-TA-984
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE INVESTIGATION AS TO
`RESPONDENT TEXAS INSTRUMENTS BASED ON SETTLEMENT
`
`Texas Instruments v. Adv. Silicon Techs., IPR 2016-01108
`TEXAS INSTRUMENTS EX. 1014 - 1/42
`
`

`
`The Agreement has been executed by the Settling Parties, and is fully effective as
`
`between them. The Agreement contains Confidential Business Information within the meaning
`
`of 19 C.F.R. § 201.6(a), including, but not limited to, license and settlement fee amounts, the
`
`disclosure of which could impair parties’ ability to enter into settlement agreements. The
`
`Agreement completely resolves the dispute between the Settling Parties in this Investigation.
`
`The Agreement reflects the entire and only agreement between the Settling Parties regarding the
`
`subject matter of this Investigation. The Settling Parties represent that there are no other
`
`agreements, written or oral, express or implied, between the Settling Parties concerning the
`
`subject matter of this Investigation.
`
`The Settling Parties agree that termination of this Investigation on the basis of settlement
`
`as to only Respondent TI does not constitute a determination as to the violation of section 337 of
`
`the Tariff Act of 1930, including as to the merits of the claims or defenses raised during this
`
`Investigation. See 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(b)(2).
`
`In view of the Agreement, there no longer exists a basis upon which to continue this
`
`Investigation as to TI. Further, termination of this Investigation as to TI at this stage of the
`
`proceedings poses no threat to the public interest. Indeed, it is in the interest of the public and
`
`administrative economy to grant this motion. Commission policy and the public interest
`
`generally favor settlements, which preserve resources for both the Commission and the private
`
`parties, and motions to terminate based on settlement are routinely granted. See, e.g., Certain
`
`Communications or Computing Devices and Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-925, Order
`
`No. 37 (June 5, 2015) (terminating one respondent based on settlement agreement); Certain
`
`Consumer Electronics with Display and Processing Capabilities, Inv. No. 337-TA-884, Order
`
`No. 15 (Aug. 1, 2014) (terminating investigation based on settlement agreements among
`
`Inv. No. 337-TA-984
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE INVESTIGATION AS TO
`RESPONDENT TEXAS INSTRUMENTS BASED ON SETTLEMENT
`
`Texas Instruments v. Adv. Silicon Techs., IPR 2016-01108
`TEXAS INSTRUMENTS EX. 1014 - 2/42
`
`

`
`complainant, certain respondents, and a third party); Certain Consumer Electronics and Display
`
`Devices and Products Containing Same, Inv. No. 337-TA-836, Order No. 30 at 3 (January 28,
`
`2013) (unreviewed) (terminating investigation based on settlement agreements among
`
`complainant, remaining respondents, and a third party); Certain Portable Communication
`
`Devices, Inv. No. 337-TA-827, Order No. 15 at 2 (May 31, 2012) (unreviewed) (same) (citation
`
`omitted).1
`
`Moreover, termination of this Investigation as to TI pursuant to the license and settlement
`
`Agreement will not have any adverse impact on the public health and welfare and/or competitive
`
`conditions in the United States. Accordingly, the Administrative Law Judge is authorized to
`
`issue an initial determination terminating this investigation pursuant to 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(b).
`
`Counsel for the Settling Parties have consulted with the other Respondents and with
`
`Commission Investigative Staff Attorney regarding this motion. The Commission Investigative
`
`Attorney will provide the position of the Office of Unfair Import Investigations after reviewing
`
`these papers in more detail. The other Respondents have indicated that they do not oppose.
`
`
`
`For the foregoing reasons, the Settling Parties respectfully request that the Administrative
`
`Law Judge grant this motion and issue an initial determination terminating this Investigation and
`
`staying the Procedural Schedule with respect to TI only based on the accompanying Agreement.

`Switches, and Hubs, and Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-574, Order No. 27 at 4 (May 24, 2007)
`(“termination of litigation under these circumstances is generally in the public interest as settlement avoids needless
`litigation and conserves public resources”); Certain Semiconductor Chips and Products Containing Same, Inv. No.
`337-TA-753, Order No. 62 at 2-3 (February 22, 2012) (granting joint motion to partially terminate investigation on
`grounds that termination of the investigation based on the settlement agreement would have no adverse impact on
`the public interest); Certain Video Analytics Software, Systems, Components Thereof, and Product Containing
`Same, Inv. No. 337-TA-795, Order No. 19 at 1-2 (February 23, 2012) (granting joint motion to terminate, and noting
`that “[t]he Commission has stated that ‘in the absence of extraordinary circumstances, termination of the
`investigation will be readily granted to a complainant during the prehearing stage of an investigation.’”) (citations
`omitted).
