`Deai· Secretary Barton:
`
`In accordance with 19 C.F.R. §§ 201.6 and 210.5, Creative Technology Ltd. and Creative
`Labs, Inc. (collectively "Creative") request confidential treatment for the information contained
`in Confidential Exhibit 3.
`
`The information for which confidential treatment is sought is proprietary and sensitive
`information not otherwise publicly available. Specifically, Confidential Exhibit 3 is a
`settlement and license agreement between Creative and Apple, Inc. ("Apple"). This is
`proprietary information of Creative and its licensee.
`
`The information described above qualifies as confidential business information pursuant

`competitive position of Creative and its licensee.
`
`Please contact me at (424) 268-5200 if you have any questions or if this request is not
`granted in full. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

`
`In the Matter of
`
`CERTAIN PORTABLE ELECTRONIC
`DEVICES AND COMPONENTS
`THEREOF
`
`Investigation No. 337-TA-__ _
`
`COMPLAINANT CREATIVE'S STATEMENT
`REGARDING THE PUBLIC INTEREST
`
`Complainants Creative Technology Ltd. and Creative Labs, Inc. (collectively,
`
`"Creative") hereby submit this Statement Regarding the Public Interest pursuant to Commission
`
`Rule 210.8(b), 19 C.F.R. § 210.8. Issuance of the reliefrequested will not adversely impact the
`
`public health, safety, or welfare conditions 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. Thus, this Investigation does not present an instance where
`
`the Commission, the parties, and the public should be required to undergo the time and expense
`
`of discovery and trial for a Recommended Determination by the ALJ on the public interest.
`'
`Creative seeks a limited exclusion order specifically directed to the proposed
`
`Respondents and certain portable electronic devices and components thereof ("the Accused
`
`Products"). Specifically Creative seeks to exclude from entry into the United States the Accused
`
`Products that infringe one or more asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,928,433 ("the '433
`
`Patent" or the "Asserted Patent"). Creative also seeks cease and desist orders prohibiting the sale
`
`for importation, importation, sale after importation, distribution, offering for sale, promoting,
`
`marketing, advertising, testing, demonstrating, warehousing inventory for distribution,
`
`solicitation of sales, programming, repairing, maintaining, using, transferring, and other
`
`ORIGINAL
`
`SONY Exhibit 1005 - Page 6
`
`

`
`commercial activity relating to the Accused Products that infringe one or more of the asserted
`
`claims of the Asserted Patent.
`
`The requested Investigation does not implicate a compelling public interest that might
`
`supersede the entry of a statutory exclusion order and a cease and desist order. The Accused
`
`Products do not implicate any particular public health, safety, or welfare concerns. The Asserted
`
`Patent is not essential to any industry standard or subject to any FRAND licensing obligations.
`
`Consumers do not face any potential shortage of like or directly competitive products in the
`
`United States. Rather, Creative's licensees and third parties can meet the demand for the
`
`products that would be subject to the requested remedial orders.
`
`Issuance of the requested remedial orders will provide effective relief in the face of
`
`ongoing patent infringement in the United States by the proposed Respondents. Protecting
`
`Creative's important intellectual property rights in the United States through the requested
`
`remedial orders will accordingly serve the public interest while having little or no adverse effect
`
`on health and welfare.
`
`I.
`
`THE REQUESTED REMEDIAL ORDERS ARE IN ACCORD WITH THE
`PUBLIC INTEREST
`
`A.
`
`The Targeted Articles Are Used in the United States for Mobile
`Entertainment and Communication Purposes
`
`Respondents' products potentially subject to remedial orders in the proposed
`
`Investigation are portable electronic devices and components thereof. The portable electronic
`
`devices at issue include mobile phones and digital media players. These devices allow users to
`
`place and receive telephone calls and/or to run applications, such as digital media players. The
`
`specific Accused Products identified in the accompanying Complaint are portable electronic
`
`devices that are operable to access media tracks stored on the portable electronic device by
`
`navigating through a hierarchical categorization. The Accused Products are used by U.S.
`
`ORIGINAL
`
`SONY Exhibit 1005 - Page 7
`
`

`
`consumers for mobile entertainment and communication purposes. Notably, the Asserted Patent
`
`is not essential to any industry standard or subject to any FRAND licensing obligations.
`
`B.
`
`No Public Health, Safety, or Welfare Concerns Relate To The Requested
`Remedial Orders
`
`Respondents' products do not implicate any public health, safety, or welfare concerns.
`
`Specifically, the products at issue are not medical or health devices, are not otherwise health-
`
`related, and are not essential for public safety or welfare. Moreover, as discussed below, there
`
`are many sources of like, directly competitive, and substitute alternatives in the United States and
`
`no health or safety-related features are unique to Respondents' Accused Products. Accordingly,
`
`there are no public health, safety, or welfare considerations that would counsel against excluding
`
`Respondents' Accused Products.
`
`C.
`
`Creative's Licensees and Third Parties Make Like or Directly Competitive
`Articles Which Could Replace the Subject Articles if They Were to be
`Excluded
`
`Creative's licensees and other manufacturers make like and directly competitive articles
`
`that could replace Respondents' products if they are excluded from the United States. Indeed,
`
`there are numerous suppliers of smart phones with music player functionality in the United
`
`States that would not be subject to the requested exclusion order.
`
`For example, Creative has licensed Apple, Inc. ("Apple"), which has the largest market
`
`share for smart phones in the United States, and the second largest market share for smart phones
`
`in the world. In addition to Creative's licensees, other manufacturers such as Huawei
`
`Technologies Co., Ltd.; Huawei Device USA, Inc.; and Future Wei Technologies, Inc. d/b/a
`
`Huawei Technologies (USA) (collectively, "Huawei"), Microsoft Corporation; Microsoft Mobile
`
`Oy (Ltd); and Microsoft Mobile Inc. f/k/a Nokia Inc. (collectively "Microsoft"), and Kyocera
`
`Corporation and Kyocera, Inc. (collectively "Kyocera") manufacture competing products.
`
`ORIGINAL
`
`SONY Exhibit 1005 - Page 8
`
`

`
`Huawei has the third largest market share for smart phones in the world, and has announced
`
`plans to significantly increase its market share in the United States. As such, Apple, Huawei,
`
`Microsoft, Kyocera, and other manufacturers make smart phone products with music player
`
`functionality that could replace the articles potentially subject to remedial orders in this
`
`Investigation.
`
`D.
`
`Creative's Licensees and Third Parties Have the Capacity to Replace the
`Volume of Articles Subject to the Requested Remedial Orders in a
`Commercially Reasonable Time
`
`Creative's licensees, such as Apple, as well as third party manufacturers have the
`
`capacity to replace the volume of products potentially subject to an exclusion order and/or a
`
`cease and desist order within a commercially reasonable time in the United States. Apple is the
`
`largest smart phone supplier in the United States, and is the number two smart phone supplier in
`
`the world. In addition, other manufacturers such as Huawei, Microsoft, and Kyocera,
`
`manufacture competing products an~ will be unaffected by any remedial orders issued in this
`
`Investigation. Huawei is the third largest smart phone supplier in the world, and has announced
`
`plans to significantly increase its market share in the United States. Accordingly, Apple,
`
`Huawei, Microsoft, Kyocera, and other manufacturers have the capacity to replace the volume of
`
`articles potentially subject to remedial orders in a commercially reasonable time in the United
`
`States.
`
`E.
`
`The Requested Remedial Orders Would Minimally Impact Consumers
`
`As indicated above, if Respondents' infringing products were excluded, consumers and
`
`carriers would not be deprived oflike or competitive products and consumers would not be
`
`adversely impacted because Creative's licensees and other suppliers would easily meet U.S.
`
`market demand with devices not subject to the remedial orders. Competing products are readily
`
`available in the United States from other sources, including those licensed by Creative. Thus, the
`
`ORIGINAL
`
`SONY Exhibit 1005 - Page 9
`
`

`
`potential limited exclusion order and cease and desist order will have no meaningful impact on
`
`U.S. consumers. See Certain Personal Data and Mobile Commc 'n Devices and Related
`
`Software, Inv. No. 337-TA-71'0, Comm'n Op. at 69, USITC Pub. No. 4332 (June 2012) (noting
`
`that "the mere constriction of choice cannot be a sufficient basis for denying the issuance of an
`
`exclusion order").
`
`II.
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`Issuing a limited exclusion order and cease and desist order in this Investigation against
`
`Respondents' infringing products will not negatively affect the public health, safety, or welfare
`
`in the United States, competitive conditions in the United States economy, the production of like
`
`or competitive articles in the United States, and the availability of such products to consumers.
`
`The Accused Products manufactured by these Respondents are not essential to public health and
`
`safety. Non-infringing substitute products are available and Respondents' infringing products do
`
`not implicate any unique safety-related features. Accordingly, there are no public interest
`
`concems preventing the issuance of a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order or that
`
`would necessitate discovery and trial on this issue by the ALJ.
