and the public interest.

telephone (202) 205–2000. General 

information concerning the Commission 

may also be obtained by accessing its

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on March 4, 2008, based on a complaint 

filed by Sharp Corporation (‘‘Sharp’’) of 

Japan. 73 FR 11678. The complaint, as 

amended and supplemented, 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 liquid crystal 

display devices, products containing 

same, and methods for using the same 

by reason of infringement of certain 

claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,879,364; 

6,952,192; 7,304,703; and 7,304,626. 

The complaint further alleges the 

existence of a domestic industry. The 

Commission’s notice of investigation 

named the following respondents: 

Samsung Electronics America, Inc. of 

Korea; Samsung Electronics America, 

Inc. of Ridgefield Park, New Jersey; and 

Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. of San 

Jose, California (collectively 

‘‘Samsung’’). 

On June 12, 2009, the ALJ issued his 

final ID finding a violation of section 

337 by Samsung. He also issued his 

recommendation on remedy and 

bonding during the period of 

Presidential review. On June 29, 2009, 

Samsung and the Commission 

investigative attorney (‘‘IA’’) filed 

petitions for review of the final ID. The 

IA and Sharp filed responses to the 

petitions on July 7, 2009. The 

Commission has determined not to 

review the subject ID. 

In connection with the final 

disposition of this investigation, the 

Commission may issue an order that 

results in the exclusion of the subject 

articles from entry into the United 

States. Accordingly, the Commission is 

interested in receiving written 

submissions that address the form of 

remedy, if any, that should be ordered. 

If a party seeks exclusion of an article 

from entry into the United States for 

purposes other than entry for 

consumption, the party should so 

indicate and provide information 

establishing that activities involving 

other types of entry either are adversely 

affecting it or likely to do so. For 

background, see In the Matter of Certain 

Devices for Connecting Computers via 

Telephone Lines, Inv. No. 337–TA–360, 

USITC Pub. No. 2843 (December 1994) 

(Commission Opinion). 

When the Commission contemplates 

some form of remedy, it must consider 

the effects of that remedy upon the 

public interest. The factors the 

Commission will consider include the 

effect that an exclusion order and/or 

cease and desist orders would have on 

(1) the public health and welfare, (2) 

competitive conditions in the U.S. 

economy, (3) U.S. production of articles 

that are like or directly competitive with 

those that are subject to investigation, 

and (4) U.S. consumers. The 

Commission is therefore interested in 

receiving written submissions that 

address the aforementioned public 

interest factors in the context of this 

investigation. 

When the Commission orders some 

form of remedy, the U.S. Trade 

Representative, as delegated by the 

President, has 60 days to approve or 

disapprove the Commission’s action. 

See section 337(j), 19 U.S.C. 1337(j) and 

the Presidential Memorandum of July 

21, 2005, 70 FR 43251 (July 26, 2005). 

During this period, the subject articles 

would be entitled to enter the United 

States under bond, in an amount 

determined by the Commission. The 

Commission is therefore interested in 

receiving submissions concerning the 

amount of the bond that should be 

imposed if a remedy is ordered. 

Written Submissions: Parties to the 

investigation, interested government 

agencies, and any other interested 

parties are encouraged to file written 

submissions on the issues of remedy, 

the public interest, and bonding, and 

such submissions should address the 

recommended determination by the ALJ 

on remedy and bonding. The 

complainant and the IA are also 

requested to submit proposed remedial 

orders for the Commission’s 

consideration. Complainant is also 

requested to state the dates that the 

patents at issue expire and the HTSUS 

numbers under which the accused 

articles are imported. The written 

submissions and proposed remedial 

orders must be filed no later than close 

of business on September 16, 2009. 

Reply submissions must be filed no later 

than the close of business on September 

23. No further submissions on these 

issues will be permitted unless 

otherwise ordered by the Commission. 

Persons filing written submissions 

must file the original document and 12 

true copies thereof on or before the 

deadlines stated above with the Office 

of the Secretary. Any person desiring to 

submit a document to the Commission 

in confidence must request confidential 

treatment unless the information has 

already been granted such treatment 

during the proceedings. All such 

requests should be directed to the 

Secretary of the Commission and must 

include a full statement of the reasons 

why the Commission should grant such 

treatment. See 19 CFR 210.6. Documents 

for which confidential treatment by the 

Commission is sought will be treated 

accordingly. All nonconfidential written 

submissions will be available for public 

inspection at the Office of the Secretary. 

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 

sections 210.42–46 of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR 

210.42–46. 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: September 9, 2009.
