SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 14, 2021, the Commission
instituted this investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (``section 337''), based on a
complaint filed by Motorola Solutions, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois
(``Motorola Solutions''); Avigilon Corporation of British Columbia,
Canada; Avigilon Fortress Corporation of British Columbia, Canada;
Avigilon Patent Holding 1 Corporation of British Columbia, Canada
(``Avigilon Patent Holding''); and Avigilon Technologies Corporation of
British Columbia, Canada (collectively, ``Complainants''). See 86 FR
51182-83 (Sept. 14, 2021). The complaint alleges a violation of section
337 based upon the importation into the United States, sale for
importation, or sale after importation into the United States of
certain video security equipment and systems, related software,
components thereof, and products containing same by reason of
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,868,912 (``the
'912 patent''); 10,726,312 (``the '312 patent''); and 8,508,607 (``the
'607 patent'') (collectively, ``the Asserted Patents''). Id. The
complaint further alleges that a domestic industry exists. Id. The
notice of investigation names Verkada Inc. of San Mateo, California as
the only respondent. Id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is
also named as a party. Id.
On December 27, 2021, Complainants filed an unopposed motion
seeking leave to file an amended complaint and notice of investigation
to reflect the transfer of all right, title, and interest in: (1) The
'312 patent from Avigilon Corporation to Motorola Solutions; (2)
[[Page 4659]]
the '912 patent from Avigilon Fortress Corporation to Motorola
Solutions; and (3) the '607 patent from Avigilon Patent Holding to
Motorola Solutions. The motion also seeks to add a recent new licensee,
Avigilon USA Corporation of Dallas, Texas, as an additional
complainant.
On December 28, 2021, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 7)
granting Complainants' unopposed motion for leave to amend the
complaint and notice of investigation. Order No. 7 (December 28, 2021).
The subject ID finds that Complainants' unopposed motion is supported
by good cause pursuant to Commission Rule 210.14(b) (19 CFR 210.14(b))
and that there is no prejudice to any party if the motion is granted.
No party petitioned for review of the subject IDs.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID (Order
No. 7). Complainant Avigilon USA Corporation is added as a complainant
to this investigation.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on January
25, 2022.
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: January 25, 2022.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
