43900 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 167 / Tuesday, August 28, 2018 / Notices 

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. of 

Sunnyvale, California and ATI 

Technologies ULC of Canada 

(collectively, ‘‘AMD’’ or 

‘‘Complainants’’). See 82 FR 14748 

(Mar. 22, 2017). The complaint, as 

amended, alleges violations of section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), based upon 

the importation into the United States, 

the sale for importation, and the sale 

within the United States after 

importation of certain graphics systems, 

components thereof, and consumer 

products containing the same, by reason 

of infringement of certain claims of the 

’506 patent; U.S. Patent No. 7,796,133 

(‘‘the ’133 patent’’); U.S. Patent No. 

8,760,454 (‘‘the ’454 patent’’); and U.S. 

Patent No. 9,582,846 (‘‘the ’846 patent’’). 

Id. The notice of investigation identified 

LG Electronics, Inc. of Seoul, Republic 

of Korea, LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc. of 

Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, and LG 

Electronics MobileComm U.S.A. Inc. of 

San Diego, California (collectively, 

‘‘LG’’), VIZIO of Irvine, California, 

MediaTek Inc. of Hsinchu City, Taiwan 

and Media Tek USA Inc. of San Jose, 

California (collectively, ‘‘MediaTek’’), 

and SDI of Fremont, California, as 

respondents in this investigation. See 

id. The Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) is also a party to 

the investigation. 

On October 20, 2017, the ALJ issued 

an initial determination terminating the 

investigation as to LG based on 

settlement. See Order No. 48 (Oct. 20, 

2017), unreviewed, Comm’n Notice 

(Nov. 13, 2017). The remaining 

respondents in this investigation are 

VIZIO, MediaTek, and SDI (hereinafter, 

‘‘the Remaining Respondents’’). The ALJ 

also terminated the investigation with 

respect to all asserted claims of the ’454 

and ’846 patents; claims 6, 7, and 9 of 

the ’506 patent; and claims 2, 4–13, and 

40 of the ’133 patent. See Order No. 33 

(Aug. 15, 2017), unreviewed, Comm’n 

Notice (Sept. 5, 2017); Order No. 43 

(Oct. 5, 2017), unreviewed, Comm’n 

Notice (Oct. 31, 2017); Order No. 49 

(Oct. 20, 2017), unreviewed, Comm’n 

Notice (Nov. 13, 2017); Order No. 53 

(Oct. 31, 2017), unreviewed, Comm’n 

Notice (Nov. 28, 2017). Claims 1–5 and 

8 of the ’506 patent and claims 1 and 3 

of the ’133 patent (hereinafter, ‘‘the 

asserted claims’’) remain pending in this 

investigation. 

On April 13, 2018, the ALJ issued her 

final Initial Determination (‘‘FID’’) and 

Recommended Determination on 

Remedy and Bond (‘‘RD’’) finding a 

violation of section 337 with respect to 

the ’506 patent but not the ’133 patent. 

Specifically, the FID finds that: (1) 

Certain accused products infringe the 

asserted claims of the ’506 patent but 

not the ’133 patent; (2) the asserted 

claims are not invalid; and (3) 

Complainants satisfy the economic and 

technical prongs of the domestic 

industry requirement with respect to 

both asserted patents. In addition, the 

ALJ recommended that the Commission 

issue: (1) A Limited Exclusion Order 

against the infringing accused products; 

and (2) Cease and Desist Orders against 

Respondents VIZIO and SDI. The ALJ 

further recommended against setting a 

bond during Presidential review. 

On June 14, 2018, the Commission 

issued a Notice determining to review 

the FID in part. See 83 FR 28660–62 

(June 20, 2018). The Commission sought 

written submissions in response to 

certain questions relating to the claim 

construction of the terms ‘‘unified 

shader’’ (recited in the ’506 and ’133 

patent claims), ‘‘packet’’ (recited in the 

’133 patent claims), and ‘‘ALU/memory 

pair’’ (recited in the ’133 patent claims). 

See id. The Commission also solicited 

written submissions on the issues of 

remedy, the public interest, and 

bonding. See id. On June 28, 2018, the 

parties filed written submissions in 

response to the June 14, 2018 Notice, 

and on July 6, 2018, the parties filed 

responses to each other’s submissions. 

On June 26, 2018, Complainants filed 

a motion for leave to amend the 

complaint and notice of investigation to 

add V-Silicon Inc. and V-Silicon 

International, Inc. as respondents in this 

investigation (Motion). On July 5 and 6, 

2018, OUII and Respondents, 

respectively, filed responses to 

Complainants’ motion to amend. As 

explained in the Commission’s Opinion 

issued concurrently herewith, the 

Commission has determined to deny 

Complainants’ Motion. 

In addition, having examined the 

record of this investigation, including 

the FID, the RD, and the parties’ 

submissions, the Commission has 

determined to affirm the FID’s ultimate 

conclusions of a section 337 violation 

with respect to the ’506 patent and no 

section 337 violation with respect to the 

’133 patent. In addition, the 

Commission has determined to modify 

the FID in part with respect to: (1) The 

importation requirement as to 

Respondents MediaTek and SDI; and (2) 

the claim construction of the terms 

‘‘unified shader,’’ ‘‘packet,’’ and ‘‘ALU/ 

memory pair’’ as well as certain related 

FID findings on infringement, validity, 

and the technical prong of the domestic 

industry requirement. All findings in 

the FID that are not inconsistent with 

the Commission’s determination are 

affirmed. 

Accordingly, the Commission finds 

that there is a violation of section 337 

with respect to the ’506 patent. The 

Commission has determined that the 

appropriate remedy is a limited 

exclusion order against Respondents’ 

infringing products, and cease and 

desist orders against Respondents VIZIO 

and SDI. The Commission has also 

determined that the public interest 

factors enumerated in subsections 

337(d)(l) and (f)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(l), 

(f)(1)) do not preclude the issuance of 

the limited exclusion order and cease 

and desist orders. The Commission has 

further determined to set a bond at zero 

(0) percent of entered value during the 

Presidential review period (19 U.S.C. 

1337(j)). 

The Commission’s orders and opinion 

were delivered to the President and to 

the United States Trade Representative 

on the day of their issuance. 

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 CFR part 

210). 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: August 22, 2018.

Secretary to the Commission.
