Scope of Investigation: Having 

considered the complaint, the U.S. 

International Trade Commission, on 

January 12, 2018, Ordered That— 

(1) Pursuant to subsection (b) of 

section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended, an investigation be instituted 

to determine whether there is a 

violation of subsection (a)(1)(B) of 

section 337 in the importation into the 

United States, the sale for importation, 

or the sale within the United States after 

importation of certain IoT devices and 

components thereof (IoT, the Internet of 

Things)—web applications displayed on 

a web browser by reason of infringement 

of one or more of claims 1–40 of the 

’340 patent; and whether an industry in 

the United States exists as required by 

subsection (a)(2) of section 337; 

(2) Pursuant to Commission Rule 

210.50(b)(1), 19 CFR 210.50(b)(1), the 

presiding Administrative Law Judge 

shall take evidence or other information 

and hear arguments from the parties or 

other interested persons with respect to 

the public interest in his investigation, 

as appropriate, and provide the 

Commission with findings of fact and a 

recommended determination on this 

issue, which shall be limited to the 

statutory public interest factors set forth 

in 19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(1), (f)(1), (g)(1); 

(3) Notwithstanding any Commission 

Rules that would otherwise apply, the 

presiding Administrative Law Judge 

shall hold an early evidentiary hearing, 

find facts, and issue an early decision, 

as to whether the complainant has 

satisfied the domestic industry 

requirement. Any such decision shall be 

in the form of an initial determination 

(ID). Petitions for review of such an ID 

shall be due five calendar days after 

service of the ID; any replies shall be 

due three business days after service of 

a petition. The ID will become the 

Commission’s final determination 30 

days after the date of service of the ID

Commission Rules 210.43, 210.44, and

issuance of an early ID relating to the 

domestic industry requirement within 

100 days of institution, except that the

extension of the ID for good cause 

shown. The issuance of an early ID 

finding that complainants do not satisfy 

the domestic industry requirement shall 

stay the investigation unless the 

Commission orders otherwise; any other 

decision shall not stay the investigation 

or delay the issuance of a final ID 

covering the other issues of the 

investigation.
