Certain Products Containing

Modification of Initial Determination 

and Termination of Investigation 

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the U.S. International Trade 

Commission has determined on review 

to modify the presiding administrative 

law judge’s (‘‘ALJ’’) initial 

determination (‘‘ID’’) (Order No. 5) 

granting a joint motion by Complainants 

Rovi Corporation, Rovi Guides, Inc. (f/ 

k/a Gemstar-TV International Inc.), 

United Video Properties, Inc., and 

Gemstar Development Corporation, all 

of Santa Clara, California (collectively 

‘‘Rovi’’) and Respondents Sharp 

Corporation of Osaka, Japan, Sharp 

Electronics Corporation of Mahwah, 

New Jersey and Sharp Manufacturing 

Company of America, Inc. of Mahwah, 

New Jersey (collectively ‘‘Sharp’’) for 

termination of the investigation in its 

entirety based on a settlement 

agreement. On review, the Commission 

has modified the ID by further basing it 

on the final detailed agreement 

submitted by the parties. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jean 

H. Jackson, Esq., Office of the General 

Counsel, U.S. International Trade 

Commission, 500 E Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20436, telephone (202)

documents filed in connection with this 

investigation are or will be available for 

inspection during official business 

hours (8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.) in the 

Office of the Secretary, U.S. 

International Trade Commission, 500 E

telephone (202) 205–2000. General 

information concerning the Commission 

may also be obtained by accessing its 

Internet server at http://www.usitc.gov. 

The public record for this investigation 

may be viewed on the Commission’s 

electronic docket (EDIS) at http:// 

edis.usitc.gov. Hearing-impaired 

persons are advised that information on 

this matter can be obtained by 

contacting the Commission’s TDD 

terminal on (202) 205–1810. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on August 31, 2011, based on a 

complaint filed by Rovi. 76 FR 54253 

(Aug. 31, 2011). The complaint alleges 

violations of section 337 of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 

1337, by reason of infringement of 

certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 

6,305,016; 7,493,643; and RE41,993. 

On September 30, 2011, Rovi and 

Sharp filed a joint motion to terminate 

the investigation in its entirety based 

upon a settlement agreement. On 

October 4, 2011, the ALJ issued the 

subject ID (Order No. 5) granting the 

motion for termination of the 

investigation in its entirety. In the 

subject ID, the ALJ found that the 

parties satisfied all the requirements 

under 19 CFR 210.21(b)(1), including a 

statement that the parties have no other 

agreements concerning the subject 

matter of this investigation. The ALJ 

noted that the settlement agreement 

contemplates the execution of a more 

detailed agreement by October 30, 2011, 

but he found that the possibility of 

further agreements between the parties 

did not affect his initial determination 

to grant the joint motion for termination. 

No petitions for review were filed. 

The Commission determined to 

review the ID on its own motion and 

required Rovi and Sharp to submit their 

detailed final agreement, so that the 

Commission could fully assess 

compliance with the requirements of 19 

CFR 210.21(b)(1) and 210.50(b)(2). The 

parties filed their final agreement with 

the Commission on January 13, 2012. 

Upon consideration of that document, 

the Commission has determined that the 

parties’ joint motion for termination 

complies with §§ 210.21(b)(1) and 

210.50(b)(2). Accordingly, the 

Commission has modified the ALJ’s ID 

to include a consideration of the final 

agreement. 

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 

section 210.45 of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

210.45). 

Issued: March 5, 2012. 

By order of the Commission. 

James R. Holbein, 

Secretary to the Commission.
