`STIPULATION AND PROPOSED CONSENT ORDER AND TO
`LIMIT SERVICE OF BINDING SETTLEMENT TERM SHEET
`
`
`
`(December 20, 2023)
`
`On November 16, 2023, Complainant Samsung Display Co., Ltd. (“Complainant”) and
`
`Respondents Apt-Ability LLC d/b/a MobileSentrix and Mobile Defenders, LLC (collectively,
`
`“MobileSentrix”) moved (1351-015) to terminate the investigation as to MobileSentrix based on
`
`a consent order stipulation, proposed consent order, and a binding settlement term sheet. EDIS
`
`Doc. ID 808821 (“Mot.”). Complainant and MobileSentrix (hereinafter, “Moving Parties”) filed a
`
`revised public version of the motion on November 24, 2023. See EDIS Doc. ID 809203.
`
`On November 27, 2023, Respondent Mianyang BOE Optoelectronics Co., Ltd (“Mianyang
`
`BOE”) opposed the motion. See EDIS Doc. ID 809829. The Commission Investigative Staff
`
`(“Staff”) also opposed the motion. EDIS Doc. ID 809895 (“Staff Resp.”). In Order No. 40, I
`
`directed the Moving Parties to confer regarding the redactions to the Binding Settlement Term
`
`Sheet. Id. at 1. I also gave the Moving Parties the opportunity to address Staff’s concerns regarding
`
`the Consent Order Stipulation and Proposed Consent Order. Id.

`
`
`
`PUBLIC VERSION
`
`The Moving Parties filed a joint submission on December 13, 2023. EDIS Doc. ID. 810325
`
`(“Joint Submission”). In this submission, they explained that “Complainant served a confidential
`
`version of the binding settlement term sheet with fewer redactions on all parties.” Joint Submission
`
`at 1. The Moving Parties also filed declarations regarding their redactions, as well as revised
`
`versions of the consent order stipulation and proposed consent order. Id. at 2. After receiving the
`
`Joint Submission, Mianyang BOE stated that it “no longer opposes the joint motion to terminate.”
`
`EDIS Doc. ID 810535. Staff also filed a response, noting that the Consent Order Stipulation and
`
`Proposed Consent Order identify claims that are no longer in this Investigation, but stating that it
`
`otherwise does not oppose the motion to terminate. EDIS Doc. ID 810538 at 2 (“Staff Supp.
`
`Resp.”).1
`
`In accordance with Commission Rule 210.21(c)(1)(ii), MobileSentrix has entered into a
`
`Consent Order Stipulation and a Proposed Consent Order, attached hereto as Exhibits 1 and 2.
`
`Commission Rule 210.21(c)(3) sets forth certain requirements for the contents of a consent order
`
`stipulation. See 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(c)(3). The Consent Order Stipulation submitted by the Moving
`
`Parties complies with the requirements of Commission Rule 210.21(c)(3). See Ex. 1; see also Staff
`
`Resp. at 3-5; Staff Supp. Resp. Specifically, MobileSentrix agrees that upon entry of the Consent
`
`Order:
`
`[MobileSentrix] shall not sell for importation, import, or sell after importation the
`Accused Products, unless licensed by Complainant, directly or indirectly, and shall
`not aid, abet, encourage, participate in, or induce the sale for importation, the
`importation, or the sale after importation except under express consent or license
`from Complainant.
`
`
`
`1 I understand Staff’s concern regarding the terminated claims. These claims were terminated after
`the moving parties filed their motion to terminate. See Order No. 39 (Dec. 7, 2023). It is therefore
`understandable that these claim terms remain in the agreed-upon documents. It is not unexpected
`that some claims will later be terminated that are included in previously agreed-upon consent
`orders and consent order stipulations.
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`PUBLIC VERSION
`
`Upon entry of the Consent Order, [MobileSentrix] will dispose of and will not sell
`or use within the United States or otherwise transfer (other than exportation out of
`the customs territory of the United States) any existing domestic inventories of the
`Accused Products except under the consent or license from Complainant.
`
`Consent Order Stip. at ¶¶ 3-4. Pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(c)(3)(i), MobileSentrix also
`
`agrees to:
`
`(1) admit all jurisdictional facts;
`
`(2) waive all rights to seek judicial review or otherwise challenge or contest the
`validity of the Consent Order;
`
`
`(3) cooperate with and not seek to impede by litigation or other means the
`Commission’s efforts to gather information under Subpart I of 19 C.F.R. Part
`210; and
`
`(4) enforcement, modification, or revocation of the Consent Order will be carried
`out pursuant to Subpart I of 19 C.F.R. Part 210, incorporating by reference
`the Commission’s rules of Practice and Procedure.
`
`
`
`
`Id. at ¶¶ 1, 5-7
`
`
`
`Because this is an intellectual property-based investigation and in accordance with
`
`Commission Rule 210.21(c)(3)(ii), the Consent Order Stipulation also states:
`
`(1)
`
`
`
`(2)
`
`If the Asserted Claims of the Asserted Patents have expired or are held invalid
`or unenforceable by a court or agency of competent jurisdiction, or if the
`Accused Products2 have been found or adjudicated not to infringe the asserted
`right in a final decision, no longer subject to appeal, the Consent Order shall
`become null and void as to such expired, invalid, or unenforceable patents or
`as to the Accused Products;
`
`[MobileSentrix] will not seek to challenge the validity of the Asserted Patents
`in any administrative or judicial proceeding to enforce the Consent Order.
`
`
`Id. at ¶¶ 9-10.
`
`
`2 The Consent Order Stipulation defines “Accused Products” as “certain AMOLED display panels
`and modules that are used as replacement displays for mobile devices, and components thereof”
`that infringe the asserted patents. Ex. 1 at 1.

`
`
`
`Additionally, Commission Rule 210.21(c)(4) sets forth certain requirements for the
`
`contents of the consent order. See 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(c)(4). The Proposed Consent Order
`
`submitted by the Moving Parties complies with the requirements of Commission Rule
`
`210.21(c)(4). See Ex. 2; see also Staff Resp. at 5-8; Staff Supp. Resp.
`
`Complainant and MobileSentrix have also entered into a Binding Settlement Term Sheet.
`
`A copy of the agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 3. Consistent with 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(b)(1)
`
`and 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(c), Complainant and MobileSentrix confirm that “there are no other
`
`agreements, written or oral, express or implied, between them relating to the subject matter of this
`
`investigation.” Mot. at 2.
`
`In any initial determination terminating an investigation by settlement agreement or
`
`consent order, the administrative law judge is directed to consider and make appropriate findings
`
`regarding the effect of the proposed settlement on the public health and welfare, competitive
`
`conditions in the United States economy, production of like or directly competitive articles in the
`
`United States, and United States consumers. 19 C.F.R. § 210.50(b)(2). The Moving Parties assert:
`
`“Termination as to [MobileSentrix] will serve the public interest, which favors the early resolution
`
`of disputes to avoid needless litigation and to conserve public and private resources, and will
`
`promote administrative economy by obviating the need for a determination as to [MobileSentrix].”
`
`Mot. at 2. Staff likewise states that it “is unaware of any public interest concern weighing against
`
`termination of the MobileSentrix Respondents” and agrees with the movants that termination “is
`
`in the public interest, which favors settlement to avoid needless litigation and to conserve public
`
`resources.” Staff Resp. at 8. I agree and find that termination of the investigation as to
`
`MobileSentrix does not impose any undue burdens on the public health and welfare, competitive
`
`
`
`4
`
`
`
`PUBLIC VERSION
`
`conditions in the United States economy, production of like or directly competitive articles in the
`
`United States, or United States consumers.
`
`Accordingly, it is my initial determination that the motion (1351-015) to terminate the
`
`investigation as to MobileSentrix is GRANTED.3 This initial determination, along with supporting
`
`documentation, is hereby certified to the Commission.
`
`Pursuant to Commission Rule 210.42(h), this initial determination shall become the
`
`determination of the Commission unless a party files a petition for review of the initial
`
`determination pursuant to Commission Rule 210.43(a), or the Commission, pursuant to
`
`Commission Rule 210.44, orders, on its own motion, a review of the initial determination or certain
`
`issues herein. 19 C.F.R. § 210.42(d).
`
`Within seven days of the date of this document, the parties shall submit to the Office of the
`
`Administrative Law Judges a joint statement as to whether they seek to have any portion of this
`
`document deleted from the public version. If the parties do seek to have portions of this document
`
`deleted from the public version, they must submit to this office a copy of this document with red
`
`brackets indicating the portion or portions asserted to contain confidential business information.
`
`The submission should be emailed by the aforementioned date and need not be filed with the
`
`Commission Secretary.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`3 The Moving Parties request that service of the confidential Binding Settlement Term Sheet be
`limited to the settling parties and Staff. Mot. at 1-2. Staff and Mianyang BOE do not oppose this
`request. Staff Supp. Resp. at 2; EDIS Doc. ID 810535. Pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(b)(1),
`and there being no opposition, the Moving Parties’ request is GRANTED, and service of the
`confidential version of the agreement will be limited to the Moving Parties and Staff.
