INTERNATIONAL TRADE 

COMMISSION 

[Investigation No. 337–TA–897] 

Certain Optical Disc Drives, 

Components Thereof, and Products 

Containing the Same; Commission 

Determination To Review an Initial 

Determination Terminating the

the U.S. International Trade 

Commission has determined to review 

the presiding administrative law judge’s 

(‘‘ALJ’’) initial determination (‘‘ID’’) 

(Order No. 113) granting respondents’ 

motion to terminate the abovereferenced investigation based on the 

lack of standing of complainant Optical

remands the investigation to the 

presiding ALJ for further proceedings

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on October 25, 2013, based on a 

Complaint filed by Optical, as 

supplemented. 78 FR 64009 (Oct. 25, 

2013). The Complaint alleges violations 

of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (‘‘section 

337’’), in the importation into the 

United States, the sale for importation, 

and the sale within the United States 

after importation of certain optical disc 

drives, components thereof, and 

products containing the same by reason 

of infringement of certain claims of U.S. 

Patent Nos. 6,904,007 (‘‘the ’007 

patent’’); 7,196,979 (‘‘the ’979 patent’’); 

8,416,651 (‘‘the ’651 patent’’); RE40,927 

(‘‘the ’927 patent’’); RE42,913 (‘‘the ’913 

patent’’); and RE43,681 the (’681 

patent’’). The Complaint further alleges 

the existence of a domestic industry. 

The Commission’s Notice of 

Investigation named as respondents 

Lenovo Group Ltd. of Quarry Bay, Hong 

Kong and Lenovo (United States) Inc., of 

Morrisville, North Carolina; LG 

Electronics, Inc. of Seoul, Republic of 

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

Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey; 

Panasonic Corp. of Osaka, Japan and 

Panasonic Corporation of North 

America of Secaucus, New Jersey; 

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. of Seoul, 

Republic of Korea and Samsung 

Electronics America, Inc. of Ridgefield 

Park, New Jersey (collectively 

‘‘Samsung’’); and Toshiba Corporation 

of Tokyo, Japan and Toshiba America 

Information Systems, Inc. of Irvine, 

California (collectively ‘‘Respondents’’). 

The Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations was not named as a party 

to the investigation. 

The Commission later terminated the 

investigation as to the application of 

numerous claims of the asserted patents 

to various named respondents. See 

Notice of Commission Determination 

Not to Review an Initial Determination 

Granting Complainant’s Motions to 

Partially Terminate the Investigation as 

to Certain Patents (Aug. 8, 2014). The 

Commission also later terminated the 

investigation with respect to Samsung 

based on a settlement agreement. See 

Notice of Commission Determination to 

Grant a Joint Motion to Terminate the 

Investigation as to Respondents 

[Samsung] on the Basis of a Settlement 

Agreement (Sept. 2, 2014). 

On May 6, 2014, Respondents, 

including Samsung, filed a motion to 

terminate the investigation for good 

cause based on Optical Devices’ lack of 

prudential standing to bring an 

infringement action with respect to the 

asserted patents. On May 16, 2014, 

Optical Devices filed a response in 

opposition. On June 3, 2014, 

Respondents, pursuant to Order No. 83, 

filed a reply in support of their motion. 

On June 10, 2014, Optical Devices filed 

a motion for leave to file a surreply in 

opposition to Respondent’s reply. On 

June 11, 2014, Respondents filed an 

opposition to Optical Devices’ motion 

for leave to file a surreply. 

On October 20, 2014, the ALJ issued 

the subject ID, granting pursuant to 

section 210.21(a) of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

210.21(a)) Respondents’ motion to 

terminate the investigation based on 

Optical Devices’ lack of prudential 

standing. Specifically, the ALJ found 

that Optical Devices does not hold all 

substantial rights to the subject patents 

and, therefore, lacks prudential standing 

to maintain an action for infringement 

without joinder of other necessary 

parties. The ALJ also granted Optical 

Devices’ motion for leave to file a 

surreply. 

Having examined the record of this 

investigation, including the subject ID, 

the petitions for review, and the 

responses thereto, the Commission has 

determined to review the subject ID. On 

review, the Commission vacates the 

ALJ’s finding that Optical Devices lacks 

standing with respect to the ’007, ’979, 

and ’651 patents (collectively, ‘‘the 

Kadlec Patents’’) and remands the 

investigation for further proceedings 

consistent with the Commission’s 

concurrently issued opinion and 

remand order. Further on review, the 

Commission finds based on modified 

reasoning that Optical Devices lacks 

standing with respect to the ’927, ’913, 

and ’681 patents (collectively, ‘‘the Wild 

Patents’’) and it would prejudice 

Respondents to allow Optical Devices to 

join other necessary parties to remedy 

its lack of standing at this time. The
