`
`Case: 22-1120 Document: 5 Page: 2 Filed: 11/10/2021
`
`Pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 15(d),
`
`Nintendo Co., Ltd. and Nintendo of America Inc. (collectively
`
`“Nintendo”) move to intervene in this appeal by appellant
`
`Gamevice, Inc. of adverse determinations by the United States
`
`International Trade Commission in Investigation No. 337-TA-
`
`1197, entitled Certain Portable Gaming Console Systems with At-
`
`tached Handheld Controllers and Components Thereof II.
`
`Intervention is appropriate because Nintendo was the re-
`
`spondent in the investigation, and the Commission issued a final
`
`determination affirming that Nintendo’s accused products do
`
`not infringe Gamevice’s asserted claims, that certain of the as-
`
`serted claims are invalid, and that Nintendo accordingly has not
`
`violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. Gamevice has ap-
`
`pealed the Commission’s final determination, and Nintendo de-
`
`sires to explain why Gamevice’s appeal has no merit. This Court
`
`has held that where, as here, a complainant appeals from the
`
`Commission’s determination that respondents did not violate
`
`Section 337, the respondents are entitled to participate in the ap-
`
`peal as intervenors. Surface Tech., Inc. v. USITC, 780 F.2d 29, 30
`
`(Fed. Cir. 1985).
`

`
`
`Case: 22-1120 Document: 5 Page: 3 Filed: 11/10/2021
`
`Intervention is particularly appropriate here because the
`
`Commission’s determination necessarily implicates Nintendo’s
`
`interests, which may not be adequately represented by the Com-
`
`mission. The Commission has no affiliation with, or interest in,
`
`defending Nintendo.
`
`The Commission and Gamevice do not oppose this motion
`
`to intervene, and no opposition will be filed.
