`Five respondents remain in the
`investigation (hereinafter,
`“Respondents”): Samsung Electronics;
`SamsungElectronics America; Samsung
`SDS America(collectively, ‘‘Samsung”’);

`On July 17, 2023, the Commission

`a motion for summary determination of
`non-infringementof certain unaccused

`aff'd by Comm’n Notice (September 11,

`On November13, 2023, the presiding

`the importation into the United States,
`the sale for importation, and/or the sale
`in the United States after importation of
`certain outdoor and semi-outdoor
`electronic displays, products containing
`same, and componentsthereof.
`Specifically, the FID finds: (1) for the
`287 patent, claim 12 is not infringed
`and is not invalid for obviousness under
`35 U.S.C. 103, and Respondents’ non-
`accused redesigned products are ripe for
`adjudication and do notsatisfy claim
`12; (2) for the ’595 patent, claims 1, 4
`and 7 are infringed, claim 8 is not
`infringed, claim 1 is invalid for
`anticipation and/or obviousness under
`35 U.S.C. 102, 103, and claims 4, 7 and
`8 are invalid for obviousness under 35
`U.S.C. 103; (3) for the ’322 patent,
`claims 4 and 5 are infringed, claims8,
`9, 12 and 13 are notinfringed,claims3,
`4, 5, and 8 are invalid for anticipation
`and/or obviousness under 35 U.S.C.

`under 35 U.S.C. 112; (4) for the ’740
`patent, claims 1 and 5 are infringed and

`are infringed and claims 6 and 10 are
`invalid for obviousness under 35 U.S.C.

`On November27, 2023, the presiding
`ALJ issued a recommended
`determination (‘‘RD’’) on remedy and
`bonding. The RD recommendsthe
`issuance of a limited exclusion order
`(“LEO”) directed to ‘‘outdoor and semi-
`outdoorelectronic displays, products
`containing same (housings, enclosures,
`kiosks, and menu boards), and
`component(s] thereof (systemsfor
`cooling electronic displays),”’ in the
`event that the Commissionfinds a
`violation of section 337. In particular,
`the RD recommendsthat the LEO
`should bedirected to all Respondents if
`there is a finding of violation based, in
`whole or in part, on the Accused
`Samsung Mid-Sized Products, but
`should bedirected only to Samsung
`Electronics, Samsung Electronics
`America and Samsung SDS Americaif
`there is a finding of violation based only
`on the Accused Samsung Large-Sized
`Products. Id. at 3-4. The RD also
`recommendsthat, if a violation is found,
`a cease and desist order (‘‘CDO”’’) should
`issue against Samsung Electronics
`America, but no CDO should issue
`against SamsungElectronics or
`Samsung SDS America.Id. at 7-8. In
`addition, the RD recommendsthat,if
`the Commissionfinds a violation based
`on the Accused Mid-Sized Products, a
`CDOshould issue against Coates US and
`PalmerDigital. Jd. at 8-9. The RD
`further recommendsthat a bond of2.25
`percentbe set for any importations of
`infringing products during the period of
`Presidential review. Id. at 11-12.
`On November 27, 2023, MRI filed a
`petition for review of several of the
`FID’s findings. Specifically, MRI seeks
`review of the FID’s findingsthat: (1) the
`Accused Samsung Mid-Sized and Large-
`Sized Products do notinfringe the
`asserted claim of the ’287 Patent; (2)
`Samsung’s redesign products wereripe
`for adjudication; and (3) certain claims
`of the ’595, 322, ’740, and ’142 patents
`are invalid as anticipated and/or
`obvious.
`Also on November 27, 2023,
`Respondentsfiled a contingentpetition
`for review of certain of the FID’s
`findings. Specifically, Respondents seek
`contingent review the FID’sfindings
`that: (1) the Asserted Patents are not
`invalid due to incorrect inventorship
`and/or unenforceable due to inequitable
`conduct; (2) claims 1, 4 and 7 of the 595
`Patent and/or claims 4 and 5 of the ’322
`patent are infringed; and (3) claim 12 of
`the ’287 patentis not invalid.
`Respondentsalso seek review of
`
`

`

`15898
`Federal Register/Vol. 89, No. 44/Tuesday, March 5, 2024/ Notices
`
`additional non-infringementbases for
`claims 9, 12, or 13 of the ’322 patent.
`On December5, 2023, the parties filed
`their respective responsesto the
`petitions for review.
`On December27, 2023, MRI filed a
`statement on the public interest
`pursuant to Commission Rule
`210.50(a)(4), 19 CFR. 210.50(a)(4).
`Respondentsdid notfile a submission
`pursuant to Commission Rule
`210.50(a)(4). No responses were
`received in responseto the
`Commission’s post-RD notice seeking
`public interest submissions. 88 FR
`84360-61 (Dec. 5, 2023).
`The Commission has determined not
`to review the subject FID. The
`Commission notes, however, that the
`FID, in analyzing whetherclaim 4 of the
`’322 patent is rendered obvious by the
`combination of certain prior art
`references, states several times that
`**MRI has shownbyclear and
`convincing evidence” that each of the
`eight elements of claim 4 is disclosed by
`the prior art. See FID, at 213, 214, 215
`and 216. The FID clearly meantthat for
`each element, “Respondents have
`shown byclear and convincing
`evidence.
`.
`.
`.” This aspect of the FID
`is accordingly clarified.
`The investigation is terminated with a
`finding of no violation of section 337.
`The Commission voteforthis
`determination took place on February
`28, 2024.
`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 part
`210 of the Commission’s Rules of
`Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part
`210).
