`
`JOINT MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT THE PARTIES’ AMENDED JOINT MOTION TO
`TERMINATE THE INVESTIGATION PURSUANT TO SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
`(MOT. NO. 1093-049C)
`
`Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(b), Complainant Qualcomm Inc. (“Qualcomm”) and
`
`Respondent Apple, Inc. (“Apple”) hereby submit this joint supplement to their amended joint
`
`motion to terminate this Investigation based on the Settlement and Release Agreement. The Office
`
`of Unfair Import Investigations has indicated that it will take a position on the motion to
`
`supplement the amended joint motion to terminate after it is filed.
`
`I.
`
`SUPPLEMENTAL SUBMISSION OF OTHER AGREEMENTS AND
`ACCOMPANYING PUBLIC VERSIONS
`
`An investigation may be terminated as to one or more respondents based on a licensing or
`
`other settlement agreement. 19 C.F.R. §210.21(b). If an investigation is terminated based on a
`
`settlement agreement, the Rule requires that “[t]he motion for termination by settlement shall
`
`contain copies of the licensing or other settlement agreements,” specifically, “any supplemental
`
`agreements, any documents referenced in the motion or attached agreements, and a statement that
`
`there are no other agreements, written or oral, express or implied between the parties concerning
`
`the subject matter of the investigation.” Id.
`
`Qualcomm and Apple executed a Settlement and Release Agreement in order to terminate
`
`this Investigation, as well as to resolve other pending legal disputes. Specifically, pursuant to the
`
`

`

`PUBLIC VERSION
`
`Settlement and Release Agreement (Amended Jt. Mot. Ex. 1), Qualcomm and Apple have agreed
`
`to terms settling the dispute that forms the subject matter of this Investigation. For the reasons set
`
`forth in the Amended Joint Motion to Terminate, Qualcomm and Apple also included the Global
`
`Patent License Agreement and Letter Agreement (Amended Jt. Mot. Exs. 2 and 3). Finally, there
`
`are Other Agreements1 between Qualcomm and Apple referenced in Exhibit 1 to the Amended
`
`Joint Motion to Terminate. See Amended Jt. Mot. Ex. 1 at 3, Recitals ¶ F. Redacted versions of
`
`the Settlement and Release Agreement, the Global Patent License Agreement, and Letter
`
`Agreement were attached to the Amended Joint Motion to Terminate as Exhibits 4-6, respectively,
`
`and were publicly filed. For the reasons set forth in the Amended Joint Motion to Terminate,
`
`Qualcomm and Apple provided, as Appendix A attached thereto, a summary of the Other
`
`Agreements referenced in Exhibit 1.
`
`Qualcomm and Apple submit this Joint Supplement to include the Other Agreements
`
`attached hereto as Exhibits A through D. While the parties do not view the Other Agreements as
`
`relevant to the settlement of the subject matter of this Investigation, the Parties understand that
`
`because these Other Agreements were referenced in the Settlement and Release Agreement, and
`
`for avoidance of doubt, Qualcomm and Apple are including them with this Joint Supplement. See
`
`Amended Jt. Mot. Ex. 1 at 3, Recitals ¶ F. Redacted versions of the Other Agreements are attached
`
`hereto as Exhibits E through H, respectively, and will be filed publicly. Apart from the Amended
`
`Joint Motion Exhibits 1-3 and the Other Agreements, there are no agreements, written or oral,
`
`express or implied between the Parties concerning the subject matter of the Investigation.
`
`1 The “Other Agreements” include: 2019 Software Agreement (“MSA”) attached hereto as Exhibit
`A; Second Amended and Restated Strategic Terms Agreement (“ASTA”) attached hereto as
`Exhibit B; Statement of Work for Qualcomm Chipsets (“SOW”) attached hereto as Exhibit C; and
`Assignment and Guaranty Letter Agreement (“Assignment and Guaranty”) attached hereto as
`Exhibit D.
`
`2
`
`

`

`PUBLIC VERSION
`
`The Other Agreements contain confidential business information within the meaning of 19
`
`C.F.R. § 210.5. Accordingly, Qualcomm and Apple request permission to redact information
`
`confidential to Qualcomm and/or Apple, and further request that the un-redacted version of the
`
`Other Agreements be treated as Confidential Business Information under the Protective Order in
`
`this Investigation (Order No. 1) and not publicly disclosed.
`
`The redacted information in the Other Agreements, and in agreements previously
`
`submitted, is considered “confidential business information” under Commission Rule 201.6, as it
`
`is “information which concerns or relates to the trade secrets, processes, operations, style of works,
`
`or apparatus, or to the production, sales, shipments, purchases, transfers, identification of
`
`customers, inventories, or amount or source of any income, profits, losses, or expenditures of any
`
`person, firm, partnership, corporation, or other organization, or other information of commercial
`
`value, the disclosure of which is likely to have the effect of … causing substantial harm to the
`
`competitive position of the person, firm, partnership, corporation, or other organization from
`
`which the information was obtained.” The information sought to be redacted includes:
`
`
`
`2019 Software Agreement: the agreement sets forth the terms and conditions for
`Apple’s access to certain proprietary Qualcomm software, including terms
`regarding the processes and operations for Apple’s access to this confidential and
`proprietary material. Accordingly, this agreement’s terms are heavily redacted,
`consistent with Commission Rule 201.6’s recognition that information concerning
`or relating to such trade secrets, processes, or operations is confidential business
`information. Moreover, the redacted information includes non-public information
`regarding specific Qualcomm software, processes, and operations, including
`information related to various aspects of Qualcomm software; non-public
`information regarding Apple’s current and future products, processes, and
`operations; and non-standard provisions, terms, and definitions that were heavily
`negotiated between Qualcomm and Apple and which deviate from terms
`Qualcomm and/or Apple have used in other similar agreements, the disclosure of
`which would cause harm to Qualcomm and/or Apple by adversely impacting the
`competitive position of Qualcomm and/or Apple in ongoing and future commercial
`negotiations with third parties.
`
`3
`
`

`

`PUBLIC VERSION
`
` ASTA: the redacted information includes non-public information regarding
`Qualcomm and/or Apple product development processes; Qualcomm and/or Apple
`operations, supply chain, supply constraint procedures, and product support;
`information related to product inventories and product forecasts; processes and
`operations involving Apple contract manufacturers; and non-standard provisions,
`terms, and definitions that were heavily negotiated between Qualcomm and Apple
`and which deviate from terms Qualcomm and/or Apple have used in other similar
`agreements, the disclosure of which would cause harm to Qualcomm and/or Apple
`by adversely impacting the competitive position of Qualcomm and/or Apple in
`ongoing and future commercial negotiations with third parties.
`
` SOW: the redacted information includes information related to sales forecasting;
`information on Qualcomm and/or Apple processes and operations for future
`product development; information on unreleased chipsets and product components;
`and information on pricing, sourcing, and delivery of components for future
`products.
`
` Assignment and Guaranty: the redacted information includes references to non-
`public commercial arrangements and operations, including information related to
`current and future Qualcomm and/or Apple products, information which is of
`commercial value and could harm the competitive position of Qualcomm and/or
`Apple if revealed.
`
`The treatment requested is further consistent with the public interest, which favors
`
`settlement. See Amended Joint Motion to Terminate the Investigation Based on Settlement, Mot.
`
`No. 1093-049C.
`
`II.
`
`SUPPLEMENTAL SUBMISSION OF REVISED PUBLIC VERSION OF
`GLOBAL PATENT LICENSING AGREEMENT
`
`In response to the Commission Investigative Staff’s Response to the Amended Joint
`
`Motion to Terminate, Qualcomm and Apple submit this Joint Supplement to include a revised
`
`redacted version of the Global Patent License Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit I and will be
`
`filed publicly. See Staff Response at 5.
`
`The Global Patent License Agreement contains confidential business information within
`
`the meaning of 19 C.F.R. § 210.5. Specifically, the redacted information includes commercial
`
`terms of the license, including royalty rates, royalty calculations, and payment terms; information
`
`4
`
`

`

`PUBLIC VERSION
`
`on future products and product categories; information regarding internal Apple and Qualcomm
`
`supply, sales, and distribution processes and operations; and a number of non-standard provisions,
`
`terms, and definitions that were heavily negotiated between Qualcomm and Apple and which
`
`deviate from terms Qualcomm and/or Apple have used in other licensing agreements, the
`
`disclosure of which would cause harm to Qualcomm and/or Apple by adversely impacting the
`
`competitive position of Qualcomm and/or Apple in ongoing and future commercial negotiations
`
`and licensing agreements with third parties.
`
`Accordingly, Qualcomm and Apple request permission to redact information confidential
`
`to Qualcomm and/or Apple, and further request that the un-redacted version of the Global Patent
`
`and License Agreement be treated as Confidential Business Information under the Protective Order
`
`in this Investigation (Order No. 1) and not publicly disclosed. The treatment requested is
`
`consistent with the public interest, which favors settlement. See Amended Joint Motion to
`
`Terminate the Investigation Based on Settlement, Mot. No. 1093-049C.
`
`III.
`
`FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW IN FEDERAL
`TRADE COMMISSION V. QUALCOMM INC. DO NOT EFFECT THE
`COMMISSION’S STATUTORY OBLIGATION TO CONSIDER THE
`PUBLIC INTEREST FACTORS
`
`In response to a recommendation from the Office of General Counsel, Qualcomm and
`
`Apple would also like to address Judge Koh’s Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law dated May
`
`21, 2019 in Federal Trade Commission v. Qualcomm Inc., Case No. 17-CV-00220-LHK (“the
`
`May 21 Order”) and the Commission’s statutory obligation to consider the effect of the settlement
`
`agreement and other referenced agreements submitted to the Commission as part of our Joint
`
`Motion to Terminate on the public health and welfare, competitive conditions in the U.S. economy,
`
`the production of like or directly competitive articles in the United States and U.S. consumers. 19
`
`C.F.R. §210.50(b)(2).
`
`5
`
`

`

`PUBLIC VERSION
`
`Qualcomm and Apple respectfully submit that any public interest issues raised by the May
`
`21 Order will be considered as part of ongoing proceedings related to that Order, and need not be
`
`relitigated by the Commission to rule on the pending motion to terminate this Investigation.
`
`Specifically, the May 21 Order requires Qualcomm to “submit, as necessary, to arbitral or judicial
`
`dispute resolution to determine [certain license] terms” (May 21 Order at 229) and “submit to
`
`compliance and monitoring procedures for a period of seven (7) years,” during which time
`
`“Qualcomm shall report to the FTC on an annual basis Qualcomm’s compliance with [certain
`
`court-ordered] remedies” (Id. at 232-33).
`
`Qualcomm and Apple respectfully submit that the Commission should defer to these
`
`ongoing proceedings with respect to the public interest factors in 19 CFR §210.50(b)(2).
`
`Qualcomm and Apple submit that termination of the Investigation will not prejudice the public
`
`interest, and that settlement will not adversely impact the public health and welfare, competitive
`
`conditions in the United States economy, the products of like or directly competitive articles in the
`
`United States, or United States consumers. Moreover, Qualcomm and Apple submit that the public
`
`interest favors settlement to avoid needless litigation and to conserve public and private resources.
`
`Furthermore, the May 21 Order states that “compliance and monitoring procedures” will continue
`
`for seven years, further encouraging the Commission to terminate these proceedings in deference
`
`to the Federal Trade Commission’s ongoing supervision. The May 21 Order thus presents no basis
`
`for the Commission to refrain from prompt termination of this Investigation.
`
`IV.
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`For the foregoing reasons and the reasons set forth in the Joint Amended Motion to
`
`Terminate, Qualcomm and Apple respectfully request that that the Commission grant the amended
`
`motion to terminate the Investigation.
