COMMISSION 

[Investigation No. 337–TA–613] 

In the Matter of: Certain 3G Mobile 

Handsets and Components Thereof; 

Notice of Commission Determination 

To Review in Part A Final 

Determination Finding No Violation of 

Section 337 and on Review To Affirm 

the Administrative Law Judge’s 

Determination of No Violation; 

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 to review 

in part the presiding administrative law 

judge’s (‘‘ALJ’’) final initial 

determination (‘‘ID’’) issued on August 

31, 2009, finding no violation of Section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 

1337) in the above-captioned 

investigation. Specifically, the 

Commission has determined to review 

portions of the ALJ’s claim construction 

and invalidity analysis, but to affirm the 

ALJ’s determination of no violation, and 

has terminated the investigation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted Inv. No. 337– 

TA–613 on September 11, 2007, based 

on a complaint filed by InterDigital 

Communications Corp. of King of 

Prussia, Pennsylvania and InterDigital 

Technology Corp. of Wilmington, 

Delaware (collectively, ‘‘InterDigital’’) 

on August 7, 2007. The complaint, as 

amended, alleged violations of Section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (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 3G mobile 

handsets and components by reason of 

infringement of certain claims of U.S. 

Patent Nos. 7,117,004 (‘‘the ‘004 

patent’’); 7,190,966 (‘‘the ‘966 patent’’); 

and 7,286,847 (‘‘the ‘847 patent’’) (‘‘the 

Power Ramp-Up Patents’’); and 

6,693,579 (‘‘the ‘579 patent’’). The 

notice of investigation named Nokia 

Corporation of Finland and Nokia Inc. 

of Irving, Texas (collectively, ‘‘Nokia’’) 

as respondents. 

On August 14, 2009, the ALJ issued 

his final ID, finding no violation of 

Section 337. In particular, he found that 

the asserted claims of the patents-in-suit 

are not infringed and that they are not 

invalid. The ALJ further found that a 

domestic industry exists with respect to 

the patents-in-suit. Additionally, the 

ALJ found that there is no prosecution 

laches relating to the ‘004, ‘966, and 

‘847 patents and that the ‘579 patent is 

enforceable. The ALJ further found that 

there is no waiver and patent misuse 

with respect to the patents-in-suit. The 

ALJ also issued a Recommended 

Determination on remedy and bonding, 

recommending that, in the event a 

violation of Section 337 is found, the 

appropriate remedy is a limited 

exclusion order barring entry of 

infringing 3G mobile handsets and 

components thereof and that it would 

also be appropriate to issue various 

cease and desist orders. The ALJ also 

recommended that there is no evidence 

to support the issuance of a bond during 

the period of Presidential review. 

On August 31, 2009, InterDigital filed 

a petition for review, challenging certain 

aspects of the final ID, and Nokia filed 

a contingent petition for review, 

challenging other aspects of the final ID. 

On September 8, 2009, Nokia filed a 

response to InterDigital’s petition for 

review, and InterDigital filed a response 

to Nokia’s contingent petition for 

review. The Commission investigative 

attorney filed a joint response to both 

InterDigital’s and Nokia’s petitions on 

September 8, 2009. 

Having examined the record of this 

investigation, including the ALJ’s final 

ID, the petitions for review, and the 

responses thereto, the Commission has 

determined to review the subject ID in 

part. Specifically, the Commission has 

determined to review the ALJ’s claim 

construction of the terms 

‘‘synchronize,’’ found in claims 5, 6, 9, 

and 11 of the ‘847 patent, and ‘‘access 

signal,’’ found in claim 59 of the ‘004 

patent and claims 6, 9, and 11 of the 

‘847 patent. The Commission has also 

determined to review the ALJ’s validity 

determinations with respect to the four 

asserted patents. On review, we affirm 

the ALJ’s determination of no violation, 

but take no position with regard to the 

term ‘‘synchronize’’ and validity. 

In addition, the Commission modifies 

the ALJ’s construction of ‘‘access signal’’ 

to clarify that his construction does not 

read out the situation where the ‘‘access 

signal’’ may continue to be transmitted 

after the power ramp-up procedure 

ends. The ID limits the transmission of 

the ‘‘access signal’’ to the power rampup procedure, finding the transmission 

does not continue during the remainder 

of the call setup process. The 

Commission agrees that the ‘‘access 

signal’’ is transmitted during the power 

ramp-up procedure and that the ‘‘access 

signal’’ is a separate transmission from 

any other call set up messages that a 

subscriber unit pursuant to the Power 

Ramp-Up Patents transmits to a base 

station during a communication event. 

The Commission finds, however, that 

the ‘004 and ‘847 patents do not require 

that the transmission of the ‘‘access 

signal’’ ends when the power ramp-up 

procedure ends. 

The Commission has determined not 

to review the remaining issues decided 

in the ID. 

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 210.42 of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

210.42).

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested 

Take. The applicant plans collect 

primarily the skulls and humerus or 

femur, with soft tissue, from seal 

mummies of all species on an 

opportunistic basis. The specimens 

collected would be radiocarbon dated 

and sampled for organochlorines in 

residual lipids in the long bones. The 

remainder of the samples will be housed 

in the Southern Methodist Univeristy’s 

Shuler Museum of Paleontology. The 

samples will provide time context for 

ecological interpretation of stable 

isotopes and the history of pollution in 

this portion of Antarctica.
