On September 17, 2009, Chief ALJ Luckern issued the public version of his August 14, 2009 Final Initial and Recommended Determinations in Inv. No. 337-TA-613, In the Matter of Certain 3G Mobile Handsets and Components. Chief ALJ Luckern concluded that there was jurisdiction, but there was no violation of section 337 due to infringement of claims 1, 2, 31, and 59 of U.S. Patent No. 7,117,004, claims 1, 3, 8, 9, and 11 of U.S. Patent No. 7,190,966, claims 5, 6, 9, and 11 of U.S. Patent No. 7,286,847, and claims 1, 3, and 4 of U.S. Patent No. 6,973,579. Furthermore, Chief ALJ Luckern found that not only were the asserted patent claims not infringed, but the claims of the asserted patents were also invalid. Should the Commission find a violation, Chief ALJ Luckern recommended the issuance of a limited exclusion order barring entry into the United States of infringing 3G mobile handsets and components thereof, as well as the issuance of appropriate cease and desist orders. The imposition of any bond during the Presidential Review period was not recommended. (PDF)
