OF INVESTIGATION

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission did not

(Order No. 17) granting a motion of complainants Technology Properties Limited LLC and

Phoenix Digital Solutions LLC of Cupertino, California and Patriot Scientific Corporation of

Carlsbad, California (collectively “Complainants”) to amend the Complaint and Notice of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on

August 24, 2012, based on a complaint filed by Complainants. 77 Fed. Reg. 51572-573 (August

24, 2012). The complaint alleges violations of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended, 19 U.S.C. § 1337, by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No.

5,809,336. The complaint further alleges the existence of a domestic industry. The

2

Commission’s notice of investigation named numerous respondents, including Huawei

Technologies Co, Ltd. of Shenzhen, China (“Huawei”); Huawei North America of Plano, Texas

(“Huawei North America”); Sierra Wireless, Inc. of British Columbia, Canada and Sierra

Wireless America, Inc. of Carlsbad, California (collectively “Sierra”). The Office of Unfair

Import Investigation was also named as a participating party. On February 4, 2013, the

Commission terminated the investigation with respect to Sierra. Notice (Feb. 4, 2013); see Order

No. 17 (Jan. 15, 2013).

On November 13, 2012, Complainants filed a motion to amend the Complaint and NOI to

remove Huawei North America as a respondent and to add Huawei Device Co., Ltd., Huawei

Device USA Inc., and Futurewei Technologies, Inc. (collectively, “Proposed Respondents”) as

respondents. On November 23, 2012, the Commission investigative staff filed a response in

support of the motion. On November 26, 2012, Huawei and Proposed Respondents filed a

response opposing the motion.

On January 8, 2013, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting Complainants’ motion to

amend the Complaint and NOI pursuant to section 210.14(b)(1) of the Commission=s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (19 C.F.R. ' 210.14(b)(1)). The ALJ found that good cause supported

granting the motion because the public interest will be best served by the inclusion of all relevant

parties in a single investigation. No petitions for review of this ID were filed.

The subject ID became the determination of the Commission on February 8, 2013, under

section 210.42(h)(3) of the Commission=s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 C.F.R. '

210.42(h)(3)).

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 C.F.R. ' 210.42).

By order of the Commission.
