[Investigation No. 337-TA-1065]


Certain Mobile Electronic Devices and Radio Frequency and

Amend the Notice of Investigation To Delete Certain Claims That Were 
Erroneously Included Due to an Apparent Typographical Error

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined sua sponte to amend the notice of 
investigation to delete claims 2-9 of U.S. Patent No. 8,633,936 (``the 
'936 patent''), which were erroneously included due to a typographical 
error.

General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on August 14, 2017, based on a complaint filed by Qualcomm Incorporated 
of San Diego, California (``Qualcomm''). 82 FR 37899 (Aug. 14, 2017). 
The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 
1930 (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 mobile electronic devices and radio frequency 
and processing components thereof that infringe one or more claims of 
U.S. Patent No. 8,487,658; U.S. Patent No. 8,698,558; U.S. Patent No. 
8,487,658; U.S. Patent No. 8,838,949; U.S. Patent No. 9,535,490; U.S. 
Patent No. 9,608,675; and the '936 patent. The notice of investigation 
named Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California as the respondent. The Office 
of Unfair Import Investigations is participating in the investigation.
    The complaint, as amended, states that Qualcomm alleges 
infringement of claims 1, 10-27, 29, 38, 49, 55-60, 67, and 68 of the 
'936 patent. The notice of investigation, however, lists the asserted 
claims of the '936 patent as claims 1-27, 29, 38, 49, 55-60, 67, and 
68. Under Commission Rule 210.14(b) (19 CFR 210.14(b)), good cause 
exists to amend the notice of investigation to correct this 
typographical error.
    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 
part 210).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: May 3, 2018.
Katherine Hiner,
Supervisory Attorney.
