Notice of Commission Determination
Not to Review an Initial Determination
Granting Complainant’s Motions to
Partially Terminate the Investigation as
to Certain Patents (Aug. 8, 2014). The
Commission also later terminated the
investigation with respect to Samsung
based on a settlement agreement. See
Notice of Commission Determination to
Grant a Joint Motion to Terminate the
Investigation as to Respondents
[Samsung] on the Basis of a Settlement
Agreement (Sept. 2, 2014).
On May 6, 2014, Respondents,
including Samsung, filed a motion to
terminate the investigation for good
cause based on Optical Devices’ lack of
prudential standing to bring an
infringement action with respect to the
asserted patents. On May 16, 2014,
Optical Devices filed a response in
opposition. On June 3, 2014,
Respondents, pursuant to Order No. 83,
filed a reply in support of their motion.
On June 10, 2014, Optical Devices filed
a motion for leave to file a surreply in
opposition to Respondent’s reply. On
June 11, 2014, Respondents filed an
opposition to Optical Devices’ motion
for leave to file a surreply.
On October 20, 2014, the ALJ issued
the subject ID, granting pursuant to
section 210.21(a) of the Commission’s
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR
210.21(a)) Respondents’ motion to
terminate the investigation based on
Optical Devices’ lack of prudential
standing. Specifically, the ALJ found
that Optical Devices does not hold all
substantial rights to the subject patents
and, therefore, lacks prudential standing
to maintain an action for infringement
without joinder of other necessary
parties. The ALJ also granted Optical
Devices’ motion for leave to file a
surreply.
Having examined the record of this
investigation, including the subject ID,
the petitions for review, and the
responses thereto, the Commission has
determined to review the subject ID. On
review, the Commission vacates the
ALJ’s finding that Optical Devices lacks
standing with respect to the ’007, ’979,
and ’651 patents (collectively, ‘‘the
Kadlec Patents’’) and remands the
investigation for further proceedings
consistent with the Commission’s
concurrently issued opinion and
remand order. Further on review, the
Commission finds based on modified
reasoning that Optical Devices lacks
standing with respect to the ’927, ’913,
and ’681 patents (collectively, ‘‘the Wild
Patents’’) and it would prejudice
Respondents to allow Optical Devices to
join other necessary parties to remedy
its lack of standing at this time. The
