`
`Re: In the Matter of Certain Wearable Activity Tracking Devices, Systems, and Components
`Thereof" Inv. N0. 33 7'-TA­
`
`Dear Secretary Barton:
`
`In accordance with Commission Rules 210.6 and 210.5, 19 CFR §§ 201.01 and
`210.5, Complainant Fitbit requests confidential
`treatment of the business information
`contained in its Complaint and Confidential Exhibits 38C-40C. A certification is provided
`below pursuant to 19 C.F.R. §§ 201.06 and 210.5 requesting confidential treatment of Fitbit’s
`Complaints and Confidential Exhibits 38C-40C.
`
`The information for which confidential treatment is sought is proprietary commercial
`information not otherwise publicly available. Specifically, the Complaint and Confidential
`Exhibits 38C-40C (which contain swom declarations of Fitbit’s CFO and CTO and a list of
`licensed entities for the Patents-at-lssue) contain proprietary and confidential business and
`technical
`information of Complainant Fitbit and Fitbit’s investments in the domestic
`industry.
`
`The information described above qualifies as confidential business information pursuant to
`Commission Rule 210.6 because:
`
`a)
`
`lt is not available to the public;
`
`b) Unauthorized disclosure of such information could cause substantial hann to the
`competitive position of Fitbit; and
`
`c)
`
`Its disclosure could impair the Commissions’ ability to obtain infomiation necessary
`to perform its statutory function.

`
`In the Matter of
`
`CERTAIN WEARABLE ACTIVITY
`TRACKINGDEVICES,SYSTEMS,AND
`COMPONENTS THEREOF
`
`.
`.'
`I“"““g““‘°“ N°- -——~—
`
`COMPLAINANT FITBIT, INC.’S STATEMENT ON THE PUBLIC INTEREST
`
`In support of its Complaint, filed on October 30, 2015 and titled “In the Matter of Certain
`
`Wearable Activity Tracking Devices, Systems, and Components Thereof,” Complainant Fitbit,
`
`Inc. (“Fitbit”) respectfiilly submits this Statement of Public Interest, as required by 19 C.F.R.
`
`§ 210.8(b)
`
`for the commencement of an investigation directed to -proposed Respondents
`
`AliphCom d/b/a Jawbone and BodyMedia, Inc. (collectively, “Jawbone”).
`
`The present statement addresses the four public interest factors that must be considered
`
`before issuing an exclusion order pursuant to l9 U.S.C. § l337(d)(1): (1) public health and
`
`welfare in the United States, (2) competitive conditions in the United States economy, (3) the
`
`production of like or directly competitive articles in the United States, and (4) United States
`
`consumers. As discussed below, none of the four statutorily-enumerated public interest factors
`
`counsels against the issuance of an exclusion order directed to proposed Respondents’ infringing
`
`wearable fitness and activity trackers identified in the Complaint (the “Accused Products”).
`
`Indeed, .The Commission has found that an exclusion order would violate the public
`
`interest only in a limited number of cases in which “inadequate supply [of the articles at issue]
`
`within the United States—by both the patentee and the domestic licensees—meant that an
`
`exclusion order would deprive the public of products necessary for some important health or
`
`welfare need: energy efiicient automobiles, basic scientific research, or hospital equipment.”
`
`Spansion, Inc. v. Int’! Trade Comm ’n, 629 F.3d 1331, I360 (Fed. Cir. 2010). See, e.g., Fluidized
`
`Supporting Apparatus, 337-TA—l82/188, I984 WL 63741 (Oct.
`
`I984)
`
`(no therapeutically
`
`

`

`comparable product available to hospital bed for burn patients); Inclined-Field Acceleration
`
`Tubes, 337—TA-67, 0080 WLA594319 (Dec. 19805 (no high-quality domestic altematives to
`
`imported tubes used in nuclear research); Automatic Crankpin Grinders, 337-TA-60, 0079 WL
`
`419349 (Dec. 1979) (no timely supply of parts for automakers to meet congressionally mandated
`
`fuel-efficiency standards).
`
`This investigation does not raise public interest concems of the type and severity at issue
`
`in the aforementioned cases. The ways in which the Accused Products are used as well as the
`
`anticipated effects of an exclusion order on each public interest factor are set forth separately
`
`below.
`
`'
`
`‘
`
`1.
`
`The Requested Remedies Relate To Wearable Fitness and Activity
`Trackers
`
`The Accused Products are wearable fimess and activity trackers, which are electronic
`
`devices used to monitor various indicia of health and fitness. For example—and depending on
`
`the version or model of the device used—individuals may wear such devices on their person in
`
`order to track the number of steps they have taken in a given period of time, the amount of
`
`calories they have bumt, the duration and quality of their sleep, or their heart rate.
`
`On information and belief, Jawbone designs the Accused Products, which are then
`
`assembled in China.
`
`The Accused Products compete directly with Fitbit’s own product line of wearable fitness
`
`and activity hackers. Fitbit requests a limited exclusion order and a cease-and-desist order.
`
`2.
`
`The Requested Remedies Do Not Raise Any Significant Public Health,
`Safety, or Welfare Concerns
`
`The requested remedies would have no impact on public health and welfare within the
`
`meaning of 19 C.F.R. § 1337(d), (e), and (1) and 19 C.F.R. §210.8(b). As an initial matter, the
`
`Accused Products provide simply a valuable aid to individual users who wish to monitor their
`
`health and fitness—they are not an irreplaceable tool for the improvement of individual fitness,
`
`nor would their absence be detrimental to individual or public health. Further, even if fitness and
`
`activity trackers were indispensable to public health and welfare in general, there are numerous
`
`2
`
`

`

`alternatives to Jawbone’s specific Accused Products that could fill any void created by an
`
`exclusion order.
`
`Indeed, there are numerous substitutes for the Accused Products available on
`
`the market, most of which provide similar if not identical benefits. Thus, an exclusion order
`
`would not adversely impact public health and welfare.
`
`.
`
`3.
`
`The Requested Remedies Would Not Adversely Affect Competitive
`Conditions in the United States Economy
`
`The requested remedies would not affect competitive conditions in the United States
`
`economy, as the market for wearable fitness and activity trackers is highly competitive. Indeed,
`
`an exclusion order would likely have minima
`
`l
`
`'f any—effects on the supply and availability of
`1
`
`like products, because several substitutes are available to replace Jawbone’s devices on the
`
`market. For example, Fitbit, whose own product line includes at least six different like devices‘
`
`that are directly competitive to Jawbone’s Accused Products, would stand ready to meet any
`
`additional consumer demand for its devices in the event of an exclusion order. Further, a host of
`
`companies that compete directly with Jawbone (e.g., Nike, Adidas, Garmin, Samsung, LG, Sony,
`
`Microsofl, Apple, TomT0m, Basis, Jaybird, Polar, Withings, Misfit, Striiv, Razer, LifeTrak,
`
`Moov, Runstatic, Mio, Basis, Philips) offer acceptable substitutes for the Accused Products and
`
`also should have the capacity to fill any void in supply created by an exclusion order.
`
`For the same reasons, an exclusion order would likely have minimal—if any—effects on
`
`the price of like products. The relevant market is highly competitive, as shown by the large
`
`number of competitors offering substitutes for Jawbone’s devices, and——givena robust supply»
`
`it is unlikely that an exclusion order would cause a surge in the prices of similar products.
`
`Lastly, an exclusion order would not hamper innovation in the industry at large. There is
`
`substantial consumer demand for such products, which ensures adequate economic incentives to
`
`counteract any deterrent effects an exclusion order might have on either potential market entrants
`
`or active market participants.
`
`' The Fitbit Zip, Fitbit One, Fitbit Flex, Fitbit Charge, Fitbit Charge HR, and the Fitbit Surge.
`
`3
`
`

`

`4.
`
`The Requested Remedies Would Not Adversely Affect the Production
`‘of Like or Directly Competitive Articles in the United States
`
`The requested remedies will not adversely affect the production of like or directly
`
`competitive articles in the United States.' The accused Jawbone articles are manufactured in
`
`China, and Fitbit is not aware of any manufacturing operations in the United States that would be
`
`impacted by the issuance of a limited exclusion order. Further, to the best ofFitbit’s knowledge,
`
`the accused Jawbone articles do not contain any components manufactured in the United States.
`
`Therefore, an exclusion order would not have a negative impact on any manufacturing operations
`
`in the United States.
`
`The Requested Remedies Would Not Adversely Impact Consumers
`5.
`Neither an exclusion order nor a cease and desist order would have an adverse impact on
`
`consumers. Given the number of directly competitive products available to replace the Accused
`
`Products, an exclusion order would have—at most—marginal impact on the availability and
`
`price of such devices. Further, Fitbit submits that the devices at issue are sufiiciently similar to
`
`their substitutes—in tenns of functionality, overall quality, and performance—that substitution
`
`of like devices for Jawbone’s devices would not affect consumers on the whole.

`
`Fitbit,
`
`Inc.
`
`(“Fitbit” or “Complainant”)
`
`requests
`
`that
`
`the United States
`
`International Trade Commission (“the Commission”) institute an investigation into violations of
`
`Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. § 1337, by Respondents AliphCom
`
`d/b/a Jawbone (“Jawbone”) and BodyMedia, Inc. (“BodyMedia”) (collectively, “Respondents”)
`
`2.
`
`Fitbit brings this Complaint in order to. protect its domestic industry from the
`
`widespread, willful, and destructive unfair competition caused by the patent infringement of
`
`Respondents, which develops and distributes the infringing UP Move, UP2, UP3,and’UP4, as
`
`well as the UP App.
`
`3.
`
`This Complaint
`
`is based on the Respondents’ unlawful and unauthorized
`
`importation into the United States, sale for importation, and/or.sale within the United States afier
`
`importation of wearable fitness and activity tracker devices.
`
`_
`
`4.
`
`Fitbit
`
`is a company that helps people lead healthier, more active lives by
`
`empowering them with data, inspiration, and guidance to reach their goals. Fitbit is an innovator
`
`in the health and fitness market, addressing key needs with advanced technology embedded in
`
`cutting-edge but simple-to-use products and services. Since 2007, Fitbit has led the way in
`
`health and fitness in both the U.S. and abroad, growing rapidly into a leading global health and
`
`fitness brand. Fitbit has built an extensive and acclaimed domestic industry and holds the
`
`leading position in the U.S. connected activity tracker market.
`
`'
`
`5.
`
`Fitbit welcomes competition, as it has always worked hard to find new and better
`
`ways to build the best products for consumers.
`
`Jawbone, by contrast, has continually played
`
`catchup to Fitbit, emulating Fitbit and infiinging Fitbit’s patents.
`
`

`

`6.
`
`Respondents’ products
`
`infringe, either
`
`‘literally or under
`
`the doctrine, of
`
`equivalents, at least one or more claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,920,332 (“the ‘332 patent”), U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,868,377 (“the ‘377 patent”), and U.S. Patent No. 9,089,760 (“the ‘760 patent”)
`
`(collectively, the “patents-at-issue” or the “Fitbit Patents”). The patents-at-issue are valid and
`
`enforceable United States Patents.
`
`7.
`
`The Fitbit Patents relate. to technology used in wearable fitness and activity
`
`tracker devices to monitor and report on health and wellness metrics.
`
`8.
`
`On information and belief, Respondents’ activity tracker devices infringe at least
`
`the following exemplary claims of the patents-at-issue:

`
`The Respondents’ activities with respect to the importation into the United States,
`
`the sale _for importation into the United States, and/or the sale within the United States afier
`
`importation of certain wearable fitness and activity tracker devices, described more fully infia,
`
`are unlawful under 19 U.S.C. § l337(a)(1)(B)(i) in that they constitute infringement of the valid
`
`and enforceable patents-at-issue.
`
`i
`
`13.
`
`Accordingly, Fitbit seeks relief from the Commission in the fomi of a limited
`
`exclusion order excluding fiom entry into the United States activity tracking devices, systems,
`
`and components thereof that infi'inge the asserted patents. Fitbit further seeks a cease and desist
`
`order halting the importation, sale, offer for sale, marketing, advertising, or soliciting of activity
`
`tracking devices, systems, and components thereof owned, held, or stored by the Respondents
`
`and their related companies that infiinge the valid and enforceable Fitbit patents.
`
`-
`
`14.
`
`As required by Section 337(a)(2) and defined by Section 337(a)(3), an industry in
`
`the United States relating to the patents-at-issue exists by virtue of at least Fitbit’s investment in
`
`plant and equipment, employment of labor and capital, and/or investment in the exploitation with
`
`respect to the patents-at-issue.
