6,400,471 (‘‘the ’471 patent’’), and
6,223,190 (‘‘the ’190 patent’’). The
notice of investigation named the
following respondents: HTC
Corporation of Taoyuan, Taiwan and
HTC America, Inc. of Bellevue,
Washington (collectively, ‘‘HTC’’);
Pantech Co., Ltd. of Seoul, Republic of
Korea and Pantech Wireless, Inc. of
Atlanta, Georgia (collectively,
‘‘Pantech’’); Huawei Technologies Co.,
Ltd. of Shenzhen, China; FutureWei
Technologies, Inc. d/b/a Huawei
Technologies (USA) of Plano, Texas
(collectively ‘‘Huawei’’); ZTE
Corporation of Shenzhen, China; and
ZTE (USA) Inc. of Richardson, Texas
(collectively ‘‘ZTE’’). The ’575 patent
and respondent Pantech have been
terminated from the investigation. The
Commission Office of Unfair Import
Investigations did not participate in this
investigation.
On September 30, 2013, the ALJ
issued a final ID finding a violation of
Section 337 by HTC. Specifically, the
ALJ concluded that two of the accused
HTC smartphones, i.e., the HTC Vivid
and HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE,
infringe the asserted claims of the ’538
patent. The ALJ found, however, that
none of the other accused HTC
smartphones infringe the ’538 patent
and that none of the accused HTC,
Huawei, or ZTE smartphones infringe
the asserted claims of the ’471 patent or
the ’190 patent. The ALJ found that the
smartphones of Flashpoint’s licensees
[REDACTED] meet the technical prong
of the domestic industry requirement
with respect to the ’538 patent, but that
none of the licensed [REDACTED]
smartphones meet the technical prong
of the domestic industry requirement
with respect to either the ’471 or ’190
patents. The ALJ found that Flashpoint
established the economic prong of the
domestic industry requirement under
Sections 337(a)(3)(A), (B), and (C) with
respect to all of the asserted patents.
The ALJ also found that HTC has not
established that the asserted patents are
invalid in view of the prior art or the onsale bar. The ALJ further found that the
’190 and ’538 patents are not
unenforceable for failure to name an
inventor.
On October 31, 2013, Flashpoint filed
a petition for review, challenging the
ALJ’s determination with respect to: (1)
The representativeness of the accused
products for the ’538 patent, (2) claim
construction for the ’471 patent, (3) noninfringement of the ’471 patent, (4) noninfringement of the ’190 patent, (5)
technical prong for the ’471 patent, and
(6) technical prong for the ’190 patent.
On the same day, respondents HTC,
Huawei, and ZTE filed a joint petition

for review, challenging the ALJ’s
determination with respect to: (1) Noninfringement of the ’190 patent, (2)
validity of the ’190 patent for
anticipation and obviousness, (3)
validity of the ’471 patent for
anticipation and obviousness (4)
technical prong for the ’190 patent, and
(5) economic prong with respect to all
asserted patents. HTC filed a separate
petition for review with respect to
issues affecting only HTC, challenging
the ALJ’s determination with respect to
(1) claim construction for the ’538
patent, (2) infringement of the ’538
patent, (3) validity of the ’538 patent for
anticipation and obviousness, (4) noninfringement of the ’471 patent; (5)
validity of the asserted patents with
respect to the on-sale bar, and (6)
enforceability of the asserted patents.
The Commission has determined to
review the ALJ’s findings regarding the
following issues: (1) Infringement of the
asserted claims of the ’538 patent by the
HTC Vivid and HTC Droid Incredible
4G LTE smartphones; (2) the technical
prong of the domestic industry
requirement for the ’538 patent; (3)
obviousness of the asserted claims of the
’538 patent over U.S. Patent No.
5,835,772 to Thurlo (‘‘Thurlo’’), U.S.
Patent No. 5,740,801 to Branson
(‘‘Branson’’), the ‘‘Admitted Prior Art’’
(‘‘APA’’), U.S. Patent No. 5,638,501 to
Gough et al. (‘‘Gough’’), and U.S. Patent
No. 5,898,434 to Small (‘‘Small’’); (4)
claim construction of the term
‘‘operating system’’ in the asserted
claims of the ’471 patent; (5)
infringement of the ’471 patent by the
accused HTC, Huawei, and ZTE
products; (6) the technical prong of the
domestic industry requirement for the
’471 patent; (7) anticipation of the
asserted claims of the ’471 patent in
view of U.S. Patent No. 5,687,376 to
Celi, Jr. et al.; (8) infringement of the
asserted claim of the ’190 patent; (9)
technical prong of the domestic industry
requirement for the ’190 patent; (10)
anticipation and obviousness of the ’190
patent in view of U.S. Provisional Patent
Application 60/037,963 to Parulski; (11)
anticipation and obviousness of the ’190
patent in view of the Zaurus; (12)
anticipation and obviousness of the
’‘190 patent in view of the Japanese
Laid-Open Patent Application No. H09–
298678 to Kazu Saito; (13) validity of
the ’538, ’471, and ’‘190 patents in view
of the on-sale bar; (14) enforceability of
claim 19 of the ’538 patent with respect
to joint inventorship; and (15) the
economic prong of the domestic
industry requirement with respect to the
’539, ’471, and ’190 patents. The
