UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
`WASHINGTON, D.C.
`
`Before the Honorable MaryJoan McNamara
`Administrative Law Judge
`
`In the Matter of
`CERTAIN LTE- AND 3G-COMPLIANT
`CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS
`DEVICES
`
` Investigation No. 337-TA-1138
`
`COMPLAINANT INVT SPE LLC’S [CORRECTED] EXPEDITED
`MOTION TO QUASH THIRD-PARTY INTEL CORP.’S OBJECTION
`TO COMPLAINANT’S OUTSIDE COUNSEL EMPLOYEE
`JOSEPH (YU) CHEN, PH.D. REVIEWING INTEL CORP.’S
`CBI UNDER THE SUPPLEMENTAL PROTECTIVE ORDER
`
`Pursuant to Commission Rule 210.15, Ground Rule 2 and Paragraph 14 of the
`
`Supplemental Protective Order governing discovery of Non-Party Intel (“SPO”), filed January
`
`28, 2019, Complainant INVT SPE LLC (“Complainant” or “INVT”) hereby moves to quash any
`
`objection by third-party Intel Corp. (“Intel”) to Complainant’s outside counsel employee Joseph
`
`(Yu) Chen, Ph.D. reviewing Intel confidential business information (“CBI”) under the SPO.
`
`Intel improperly suggests that Dr. Chen should not view Intel CBI simply because he is a
`
`Chinese citizen. Nothing under the SPO, the facts or the law supports such an objection.
`
`Accordingly, Complainant files this Motion to Quash. Given Dr. Chen’s critical role in this
`
`Investigation for Complainant in this Investigation, Complainant respectfully requests expedited
`
`consideration of this Motion.1
`
`1 Due to the government shutdown, which ended January 25, 2019, and the
`Commission’s public statement requesting that all parties wait to file documents in any ongoing
`proceeding, INVT had no previous opportunity to request such relief.

`

`Ground Rule 2.2 Certification
`
`Pursuant to Ground Rule 2.2, Complainant’s counsel certifies that, prior to filing this
`
`Motion, Complainant met-and-conferred to engage in reasonable, good-faith efforts to resolve
`
`the issues raised in this Motion and accompanying memorandum. Complainant and Intel met-
`
`and-conferred telephonically on December 17, 2018. During this conference, counsel for
`
`Complainant and Intel discussed Intel’s continued delay in approving Dr. Chen to review Intel
`
`CBI under the SPO. To date, Intel has refused to approve Dr. Chen to review Intel CBI, on the
`
`purported ground that Dr. Chen is a Chinese citizen, and therefore opposes this Motion.
`
`Respondents have not taken a position on this Motion, and Staff may take a position after
`
`viewing the filed papers.
