`
`
`
`FITBIT’S RESPONSE TO THE COMPLAINT
`AND NOTICE OF INVESTIGATION
`
`Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. § 210.13, Respondent Fitbit, Inc. (“Fitbit”) files this Response to
`
`the Complaint filed by Complainants Philips North America LLC and Koninklijke Philips N.V.
`
`(collectively, “Philips”) and to the Notice of Investigation, 80 Fed. Reg. 50870. Any allegations
`
`not specifically admitted are hereby denied.
`
`RESPONSE TO THE NOTICE OF INVESTIGATION
`
`Fitbit acknowledges that the Commission has instituted an investigation as set forth in the
`
`Commission’s Notice of Investigation, issued on January 10, 2020 and published in the Federal
`
`Register on January 15, 2020. Fitbit denies that there has been any violation of 19 U.S.C.
`
`§ 1337. In particular, Fitbit denies that it has violated § 1337 by the importation into the United
`
`States, the sale for importation, the sale after importation, and/or the use after importation of
`
`certain wearable monitoring devices, systems and components thereof, by reason of infringement
`
`of any valid claim of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,845,228 (“the ’228 patent”), 9,820,698 (“the ’698
`
`patent”), 9,717,464 (“the ’464 patent”), and 9,961,186 (“the ’186 patent”) (collectively, the

`
`
`
`“Asserted Patents”). Fitbit lacks sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief as to
`
`whether there exists a domestic industry as required under 19 U.S.C. § 1337(a)(2), and therefore
`
`denies those allegations. Fitbit further denies that Philips is entitled to any relief as a result of
`
`this Investigation.
`
`RESPONSE TO THE COMPLAINT
`
`Fitbit responds to the Complaint dated December 9, 2019 and titled COMPLAINT OF
`
`PHILIPS NORTH AMERICA, LLC AND KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V. UNDER
`
`SECTION 337 OF THE TARIFF ACT OF 1930, AS AMENDED, in like-numbered
`
`paragraphs as follows. Certain phrases from headings are reproduced below from the Complaint
`
`for the sake of convenience only and are not an admission of the content or allegations within.
`
`Because discovery has just begun, Fitbit has not had sufficient time and opportunity to
`
`collect and review all information that may be relevant to the issues raised in the Complaint.
`
`Fitbit therefore reserves the right to amend or supplement this Response, including raising
`
`additional defenses, based on additional facts or developments that become available or that arise
`
`after the filing of this Response. Except as expressly admitted below, Fitbit denies each and
`
`every allegation averred in the Complaint.
`
`I.
