UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
Washington, D.C.

Inv. No. 337-TA-794

NOTICE OF THE COMMISSION’S FINAL DETERMINATION FINDING A VIOLATION OF SECTION 337; ISSUANCE OF A LIMITED EXCLUSION ORDER AND A CEASE AND DESIST ORDER; TERMINATION OF THE INVESTIGATION

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission has found a violation of section 337 in this investigation and has issued a limited exclusion order prohibiting respondent Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California (“Apple”), from importing wireless communication devices, portable music and data processing devices, and tablet computers that infringe claims 75-76 and 82-84 of U.S. Patent No. 7,706,348 (“the ’348 patent”). The Commission has also issued a cease and desist order against Apple prohibiting the sale and distribution within the United States of articles that infringe claims 75-76 and 82-84 of the ’348 patent. The Commission has found no violation based on U.S. Patent Nos. 7,486,644 (“the ’644 patent”), 7,450,114 (“the ’114 patent”), and 6,771,980 (“the ’980 patent”). The Commission’s determination is final, and the investigation is terminated.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on August 1, 2011, based on a complaint filed by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. of Korea and Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC of Richardson, Texas (collectively, “Samsung”).

76 Fed. Reg. 45860 (Aug. 1, 2011). The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. § 1337), in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain electronic devices, including wireless communication devices, portable music and data processing devices, and tablet computers, by reason of infringement of various U.S. patents. The notice of investigation names Apple as the only respondent. The patents remaining in the investigation are the ’348, ’644, ’114, and ’980 patents. The complaint also alleged infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,879,843, but the investigation with respect to that patent was previously terminated based on withdrawn allegations.

On September 14, 2012, the presiding administrative law judge (“ALJ”) issued his final initial determination (“ID”) finding no violation of section 337 based on the four patents remaining at issue. The ALJ determined that the ’348, ’644, and ’980 patents are valid but not infringed and that the ’114 patent is both invalid and not infringed. The ALJ further determined that the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement was satisfied with respect to the remaining asserted patents, but that the technical prong was not satisfied for any of those patents.

On October 1, 2012, complainant Samsung and the Commission investigative attorney (“IA”) filed petitions for review of the ID, while Apple filed a contingent petition for review. 

On November 19, 2012, the Commission determined to review the ID in its entirety. 77 Fed. Reg. 70464 (Nov. 26, 2012). The Commission issued a public notice requesting written submissions from the parties and the public on various topics, many of which concerned the Commission’s authority to issue a remedy for the importation of articles that infringe patents that the patent owner has stated it will license on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (“FRAND”) terms. Other topics concerned patent issues specific to this investigation. The Commission received written submissions from Samsung, Apple, and the IA addressing all of the Commission’s questions. In response to the FRAND-related topics posed to the public, the Commission received responses from the following: Association for Competitive Technology; Business Software Alliance; Ericsson Inc.; GTW Associates; Hewlett Packard Company; Innovation Alliance; Intel Corporation; Motorola Mobility LLC; Qualcomm Incorporated; Research In Motion Corporation; and Sprint Spectrum, L.P. 

On March 13, 2013, the Commission issued another public notice requesting written submissions from the parties and the public on various additional topics, including some FRAND-related topics. 78 Fed. Reg. 16865 (March 19, 2013). The Commission received written submissions from Samsung, Apple, and the IA addressing all of the Commission’s questions. In response to the FRAND-related topics posed to the public, the Commission received responses from the following: Association for Competitive Technology; Business Software Alliance; Cisco Systems, Inc.; Hewlett Packard Company; Innovation Alliance; Micron Technology, Inc.; and Retail Industry Leaders Association.

Having examined the record of this investigation, including the ALJ’s final ID and submissions from the parties and from the public, the Commission has determined that Samsung has proven a violation of section 337 based on articles that infringe claims 75-76 and 82-84 of the ’348 patent. The Commission has determined to modify the ALJ’s construction of certain terms in the asserted claims of the ’348 patent, including “controller,” “10 bit TFCI information,” and “puncturing.” Under the modified constructions, the Commission has determined that Samsung has proven that the accused iPhone 4 (AT&T models); iPhone 3GS (AT&T models); iPhone 3 (AT&T models); iPad 3G (AT&T models); and iPad 2 3G (AT&T models) infringe the asserted claims of the ’348 patent. The Commission has further determined that the properly construed claims have not been proven by Apple to be invalid and that Samsung has proven that a domestic industry exists in the United States with respect to the ‘348 patent.

The Commission has determined that Apple failed to prove an affirmative defense based on Samsung’s FRAND declarations.

The Commission has determined that Samsung has not proven a violation based on alleged infringement of the ’644, ’980, and ’114 patents. With some modifications to the ALJ’s analysis, the Commission has determined that the asserted claims of the ’644 and ’980 patents are valid but not infringed and that the asserted claims of the ’114 patent are not infringed and are invalid. The Commission has further determined that Samsung did not prove a domestic industry exists in the United States relating to articles protected by the ’644, ’980, and ’114 patents.

The Commission has determined that the appropriate remedy is a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order prohibiting Apple from importing into the United States or selling or distributing within the United States wireless communication devices, portable music and data processing devices, and tablet computers that infringe claims 75-76 and 82-84 of the ’348 patent.

The Commission has determined that the public interest factors enumerated in section 337(d)(1) and (f)(1) do not preclude issuance of the limited exclusion order and cease and desist order.

The Commission has determined that Samsung’s FRAND declarations do not preclude that remedy.

Finally, the Commission has determined that a bond in the amount of zero percent of the entered value is required to permit temporary importation during the period of Presidential review (19 U.S.C. § 1337(j)) of wireless communication devices, portable music and data processing devices, and tablet computers that are subject to the order. The Commission’s order and opinion were delivered to the President and to the United States Trade Representative on the day of their issuance.

Commissioner Pinkert dissents on public interest grounds from the determination to issue an exclusion order and cease and desist order.

The authority for the Commission’s determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. § 1337), and in Part 210 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 C.F.R. Part 210).

 By order of the Commission.

위례과천선 광역철도 민자적격성 통과 [서울=뉴스핌] 최현민 기자 = 경기 과천시와 서울 강남구, 송파구 일원을 연결하는 위례과천선 사업이 본궤도에 오른다.   국토교통부는 위례과천 광역철도사업이 한국개발연구원(KDI)의 민자적격성 조사를 통과했다고 7일 밝혔다. 위례과천선은 서쪽으로는 정부과천청사, 동쪽으로는 송파구 법조타운과 위례신도시를 연결하고 북쪽으로는 강남구 압구정까지 연결하는 총 연장 28.25km의 광역철도 사업으로 민간투자방식으로 지어진다.  위례과천선 노선도안 [자료=국토부] ※노선 미확정 위례과천선은 제4차 국가철도망 구축계획 반영 후 2021년 12월 '대우건설 컨소시엄'에서 국토부에 최초제안서를 제출했으며 제안서 검토 및 지자체 협의과정을 거쳐 2022년 9월 민자적격성 조사에 착수했다. 민자적격성 조사 과정에서 원자재 가격 급등, 양재첨단물류단지 개발 등 여건 변화가 발생했고 경제성을 최대한 확보하기 위한 사업계획 보완을 거쳐 올해 11월 최종적으로 사업의 타당성을 인정받았다. 특히 본 사업 영향권에 있는 9개 공공주택지구에 총 8만6000명 규모의 입주가 예정돼 있어 신규 철도노선을 통해 선제적으로 교통난을 해소해 나갈 계획이다. 입주 예정 지구는 과천주암 공공지원주택지구, 서울강남 공공주택지구 등이다. 다만 노선안은 아직 확정되지 않았다. 국토부는 세부노선 및 역사는 실시협약 체결 시 확정‧공개할 방침이다.  윤진환 국토부 철도국장은 "내년 전략환경영향평가를 마무리하고 제3자 제안 공고를 통해 우선협상대상자를 선정해 협상까지 착수하는 것을 목표로 속도감 있게 사업을 추진할 계획"이라고 말했다. min72@newspim.com 2024-11-07 17:36

의왕 오전왕곡, 1.4만 가구 들어선다 [서울=뉴스핌] 최현민 기자 = 2029년 개통예정인 인덕원~동탄 복선전철 그리고 수도권광역급행철도(GTX) C노선이 연계되는 경기 의왕시 오전동, 왕곡동 일대에 약 1만4000가구가 들어선다. 5일 국토교통부에 따르면 지난 8월 발표한 '주택 공급 방안' 후속 조치로 의왕 오전왕곡지구가 신규 택지 후보지로 선정됐다. 오전왕곡지구는 경기도 의왕시 오전동, 왕곡동에 걸쳐 있고 187만㎡(57만평)에 1만4000가구가 들어선다. 의왕 오전왕곡은 경수대로·과천-봉담 간 도시 고속화 도로에 연접한 부지로 산업 기능 유치 잠재력이 높은 곳으로 난개발 방지를 위한 계획적 개발이 요구되는 곳이다. 특히 지구 내 친수 공간이 풍부해 정주 환경이 우수하고 인접한 과천지식정보타운 등과 연계한 의료·바이오 산업 유치에 유리해 자족 기능 확보를 통한 수도권 남부의 새로운 직주 근접 생활 공간 조성이 전망된다. 의왕 오전왕곡은 서울시 경계에서 약 10㎞ 남측, 의왕 IC 인근으로 인접 지역에 의왕·군포·안산 신도시, 의왕고천지구, 의왕백운밸리 등이 위치하고 있다. 과천~봉담 도시 고속화 도로, 경수대로(국도 1호선)가 인접하고 있으며 의왕시청역(가칭) (동탄~인덕원선, 2029년 개통 예정)이 700m 거리에 위치한다. 현재 도시철도 혜택을 받지 못하는 오전왕곡지구는 주변에 형성되는 3개 광역철도와의 연계에 촛점을 맞추고 있다. 국토부는 수도권광역급행철도(GTX)-C, 인덕원-동탄선과의 연계 강화를 통해 서울 도심까지 30분 내 접근이 가능하도록 교통망을 구축하겠다는 계획이다. 우선 GTX-C 노선 연계성, 인덕원~동탄선 접근성 강화 등 철도 교통 접근성을 향상시킨다. 이와 함께 대상지 북측으로 월곶~판교선이 예정돼 있는 만큼 현재 주거단지로 바뀐 백운호수 일대와 연계하는 방안도 고려될 전망이다.  현 과천-봉담 고속화 도로와 경수대로(국도 1호선)의 연결 및 주변 도로 확충을 통해 서울 등 지역 간 접근성 개선 및 교통량 분산도 추진한다. 의왕 TG 광역버스 정류장을 활용한 광역 대중교통 환승 체계 개선과 오전동과 왕곡동으로 분리된 사업 지구 간 도로 연결 체계를 구축해 지구 간 단절을 해소하고 단일 생활권으로 조성한다. min72@newspim.com 2024-11-05 15:00
