SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted the instant 
investigation on December 16, 2009, based on a complaint filed by 
Pioneer Corporation of Tokyo, Japan and Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. 
of Long Beach, California (collectively, ``Pioneer''). 74 FR 66676 
(Dec. 16, 2009). The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (19 U.S.C. 1337) in the importation 
into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within 
the United States after importation of certain multimedia display and 
navigation devices and systems, components thereof, and products 
containing same by reason of infringement of various claims of United 
States Patent Nos. 5,365,448 (``the '448 patent''), 5,424,951 (``the 
'951 patent''), and 6,122,592 (``the '592 patent''). The complaint 
named Garmin International, Inc. of Olathe, Kansas, Garmin Corporation 
of Taiwan (collectively, ``Garmin'') and Honeywell International Inc. 
of Morristown, New Jersey (``Honeywell'') as the proposed respondents. 
Honeywell was subsequently terminated from the investigation.
    On December 16, 2010, the ALJ issued his final initial 
determination (``ID''). In his final ID, the ALJ found no violation of 
section 337 by Garmin. Specifically, the ALJ found that the accused 
products do not infringe claims 1 and 2 of the '448 patent, claims 1 
and 2 of the '951 patent, or claims 1 and 2 of the '592 patent. The ALJ 
found that the '592 patent was not proven to be invalid and that 
Pioneer has established a domestic industry under 19 U.S.C. 
1337(a)(3)(C). On February 23, 2011, the Commission determined to 
review the final ID in part.
    On April 18, 2011, the Commission issued a notice indicating that 
it had determined to extend the target date and request supplemental 
briefing from the private parties and the public. On April 22, 2011, 
the Commission investigative attorney (``IA'') filed an unopposed 
motion for an extension of the briefing schedule set forth in the 
Commission's April 18, 2011 notice. The IA's motion is granted.
    The Commission has determined to extend all submission dates set 
forth in its prior notice by seven (7) days. In particular, opening 
submissions of the parties to the investigation are due no later than 
May 10, 2011. A public version of these submissions must be filed with 
the Secretary no later than May 17, 2011. Reply submissions of the 
parties to the investigation are due no later than May 24, 2011. 
Written submissions from members of the public will be accepted anytime 
on or before May 24, 2011. No further submissions on these issues will 
be permitted unless otherwise ordered by the Commission.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and 
in part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 
210).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: April 29, 2011.
William R. Bishop,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
