ALJ Finds LG Satisfies Economic Prong of Domestic Industry Requirement in 337-TA-687
ALJ Gildea released the public version of his initial determination that Complainant LG has satisfied the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement in 337-TA-687, Certain Video Displays, Components Thereof, and Products Containing Same. The ALJ determined that LG's investments in servicing, repair and support satisfied the requirement that there must be an industry in the United States protected by the patents at issue, and rejected the respondent's arguments that a selection of representative products could not be used to satisfy the domestic industry requirement, and that additional discovery was necessary to rebut LG's factual contentions.
