`UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
`WASHINGTON, D.C.
`
`In the Matter of
`
`CERTAIN ACTIVE MATRIX OLED
`DISPLAY DEVICES AND
`COMPONENTS THEREOF
`
` Investigation No. 337-TA-____
`
`STATEMENT REGARDING THE PUBLIC INTEREST
`
`Pursuant to Commission Rule 210.8(b), 19 C.F.R. § 210.8(b), Complainant Solas OLED
`
`Ltd. (“Solas” or “Complainant”) respectfully submits this Statement Regarding the Public Interest.
`
`Solas seeks limited exclusion orders and cease and desist orders against the Proposed Respondents’
`
`active matrix organic light emitting diode (“OLED”) display devices and components thereof that
`
`infringe United States Patent Nos. 8,139,007 (“’007 Patent”), 7,573,068 (“’068 Patent”), and
`
`7,868,880 (“’880 Patent”) (collectively, the “Asserted Patents”).
`
`Exclusion of the Proposed Respondents’ infringing products from the United States will
`
`have no adverse effect on the public health and welfare 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. The Commission has declined to direct Administrative Law
`
`Judges to make recommendations on the impact requested remedial orders would have on the
`
`public interest in investigations involving electronic products. See, e.g., Certain Network Personal
`
`Computers & Mobile Devices, Inv. No. 337-TA-1083, Notice of Institution (Aug. 28, 2019) (Nov.
`
`14, 2017) (omitting delegation of public interest to the ALJ). This Investigation does not present
`
`an exceptional circumstance where a compelling public interest would supersede entry of the
`
`requested remedial orders. Instead, the requested relief serves a strong public interest in protecting
`
`intellectual property rights and promoting innovation. See, e.g., Certain Baseband Processor
`
`Ex. 1023-007
`
`

`

`Chips & Chipsets, Transmitter & Receiver (Radio) Chips, Power Control Chips & Prods.
`
`Containing Same, Including Cellular Telephone Handsets, Inv. No. 337-TA-543, Comm’n Op. at
`
`136–37 (June 19, 2007).
`
`I.
`
`Explanation of How the Accused Products Potentially Subject to the Remedial
`Orders Are Used in The United States
`
`The Accused Products subject to the remedial orders in this Investigation are electronic
`
`devices that include active matrix OLED displays, which are commonly used by end consumers
`
`for personal, business, entertainment, and communication purposes. The category of Accused
`
`Products for each Proposed Respondent varies and includes: Apple Watches with active matrix
`
`OLED displays; Dell laptops with active matrix OLED displays; Motorola smartphones with
`
`active matrix OLED displays; Samsung smartphone and tablets with active matrix OLED displays;
`
`and Sony and LG televisions and monitors with active matrix OLED displays. As shown in the
`
`table below, the Proposed Respondents’ Accused Products are in different product categories:
`
`Motorola
`
`Samsung
`
`X X
`
`
`
`Sony
`
`LG
`
`Dell
`
`
`
`X
`
`
`
`
`
`X X
`
`Apple
`
`X
`
`
`
`Smartwatches
`Mobile Phones & Tablets
`Laptops
`Televisions and Monitors
`
`Moreover, the Accused Products are a limited subset of consumer products offered by the Proposed
`
`Respondents and, further yet, a subset of those products with OLED displays that incorporate the
`
`innovative active matrix OLED technology covered by the Asserted Patents.
`
`II.
`
`The Requested Remedial Orders Do Not Pose Any Public Health, Safety, or
`Welfare Concerns
`
`Issuance of the requested remedial orders would have no adverse effect on the public
`
`health, safety, or welfare in the United States. In general, concerns about a negative impact on
`
`2
`
`Ex. 1023-008
`
`

`

`public health, safety, or welfare have come up in cases involving pharmaceuticals, essential
`
`equipment for medical treatment, or green technology products, such as hybrid cars and solar
`
`panels. See Spansion, Inc. v. U.S. Int’l Trade Comm’n, 629 F.3d 1331, 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2010); see
`
`also Certain Fluidized Supporting Apparatus & Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-182/ 188,
`
`USITC Pub. 1667, Comm’n Op. at 23–25 (Oct. 1984). None of these concerns are present here.
`
`Rather, the Accused Products are electronic consumer devices containing OLED displays and
`
`components thereof. These products fall into the category of premium consumer electronics and
`
`are not used to promote public health, safety, or welfare, or any specific public interest issues that
`
`the Commission has previously considered. See https://www.trustedreviews.com/opinion/oled-vs-
`
`led-lcd-2924602 (last visited, Sept. 9, 2020) (“[OLED is] quite a big deal and is thought to be
`
`trickling down to premium Android handsets . . . as well as featuring in high-end TVs[.]”).
`
`Moreover, to the extent any of the Proposed Respondents’ Accused Products implicate public
`
`health, safety, or welfare concerns, alternative non-infringing products that perform substantially
`
`similar functions as—and that compete with—the Proposed Respondents’ Accused Products are
`
`readily available to consumers in the United States. Thus the requested remedial orders would not
`
`significantly impact the overall availability of like or similar products in the United States.
`
`III.
`
`Alternative Competitive Articles That Could Replace the Accused Products if
`They Were to Be Excluded are Readily Available
`
`The consumer electronics market for products similar to the Accused Products is diverse
`
`and highly competitive. There are, of course, various modern display technologies, including
`
`liquid crystal displays, various light emitting diode display types, and OLED displays. And within
`
`the subset of the display market that includes OLED displays, there are passive matrix and active
`
`matrix OLED display devices. The Proposed Respondents are only a subset of suppliers of active
`
`matrix OLED display devices in the United States and many non-infringing alternatives are
`
`3
`
`Ex. 1023-009
`
`

`

`available from both the Proposed Respondents and other third-party sources. The Proposed
`
`Respondents, as well as third-party sources, currently offer for sale numerous non-OLED
`
`consumer electronics that would not be affected by the requested remedial orders. For example,
`
`only Apple’s Apple Watch is at issue in this Investigation, which accounts for less than 35% of the
`
`wearables market. Numerous digital watches from Fitbit and Amazon, among others, are available
`
`to consumers.1 Mobile phones with active matrix OLED displays account for less than 25% of the
`
`mobile phone market and tablets with active matrix OLED displays account for even less of the
`
`tablet market. Samsung and Motorola themselves offer non-OLED smartphones, as do countless
`
`other smartphone manufacturers.2 Televisions and monitors with OLED displays account for less
`
`than 5% of the television market. For example, in addition to the countless LED LCD displays on
`
`the market, Sony’s Bravia line of televisions also includes non-OLED Smart TVs.3 Finally, laptops
`
`with OLED displays account for less than 25% of the laptop market. Dell offers laptops with both
`
`OLED and non-OLED displays.4 Accordingly, the Proposed Respondents’ Accused Products
`
`could be replaced by other available consumer electronic products should their infringing products
`
`be subject to the requested remedial orders.
`
`No public interest concerns exist where the market contains an adequate supply of
`
`competitive or substitute products for infringing products subject to a remedial order. See, e.g.,
`
`Certain Elec. Digital Media Devices & Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-796, Comm’n Op.
`
`at 119–21 (Sept. 6, 2013) (finding the availability of adequate competitive products does not

`warrant denying relief); Certain Mobile Devices, Associated Software, & Components Thereof,
`
`Inv. No. 337-TA-744, Comm’n Op. at 30–31 (June 5, 2012).
`
`IV.
`
`The Requested Remedial Orders Would Not Adversely Impact U.S. Consumers
`
`As discussed above, consumers will have available to them a wide variety of substitute
`
`products—including competitive or substitute non-infringing OLED and non-OLED display
`
`consumer electronic products—if the Accused Products are excluded from the United States. In
`
`view of the availability of commercial alternatives to the Accused Products, the exclusion of the
`
`infringing OLED display devices and components thereof will not negatively impact consumers
`
`in the United States. The requested relief is in the public interest because it would serve the purpose
`
`of enforcing United States intellectual property rights and eliminating the Proposed Respondents’
`
`unfair competition. See Certain Two-Handle Centerset Faucets & Escutcheons & Components
`
`Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-422, Comm’n Op. at 9 (July 21, 2000). Precluding the Proposed
`
`Respondents from importing and selling their infringing products will also benefit the public
`
`interest by protecting innovators, such as Solas and its licensee eMagin, who make substantial
`
`domestic investments to research and develop new OLED technology. Permitting unlicensed
`
`parties like the Proposed Respondents who outsource their manufacturing overseas and import and
`
`sell infringing OLED display devices to continue their unfair acts not only devalues the Asserted
`
`Patents, but would undermine Solas’ licensee, eMagin’s, investments in manufacturing OLED
`
`displays in the United States, and future investment in related technology. See Certain Display
`
`Controllers & Prods. Containing Same, Inv. No. 337-TA-491/481, Comm’n Op. at 66 (Feb. 2005).
`
`V.
`
`Conclusion
`
`Accordingly, there are no public interest concerns preventing issuance of the requested
`
`remedial orders. The Commission should not direct the Administrative Law Judge to receive
`
`evidence on the impact of those remedial orders on the public interest.

`INTRODUCTION
`
`1.
`
`This Complaint is filed by Complainant Solas OLED Ltd. (“Solas” or
`
`“Complainant”) pursuant to Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. § 1337
`
`(“Section 337”). OLED is an acronym for organic light emitting diode.
`
`2.
`
`Complainant brings this action to remedy violations of Section 337 arising from the
`
`unlawful and unauthorized importation into the United States, the sale for importation into the
`
`United States, and/or the sale within the United States after importation, of certain active matrix
`
`OLED display devices, and components thereof (the “Accused Products”) that infringe one or
`
`more of the Asserted Claims of United States Patent Nos. 8,139,007 (“the ’007 Patent,” attached
`
`as Exhibit 1), 7,573,068 (“the ’068 Patent,” attached as Exhibit 2), and 7,868,880 (“the ’880
`
`Patent,” attached as Exhibit 3) (collectively, the “Asserted Patents”).
`
`3.
`
`Complainant asserts that the Accused Products infringe at least the following claims
`
`of one or more Asserted Patents in violation of Section 337(a)(1)(B)(i), either literally or under the
`
`doctrine of equivalents:
