In the Matter of

CERTAIN LIGHTING CONTROL DEVICES INCLUDING DIMMER SWITCHES AND/OR SWITCHES AND PARTS THEREOF

Investigation No. 337-TA-599

Order No. 9: INITIAL DETERMINATION Terminatinp Leviton from the Investipation

By publication of a notice in the Federal Register on April 5,2007, the Commission

instituted the present investigation, pursuant to subsection (b) of section 337 of the Tariff Act of

1930, as amended, to determine:

[Wlhether there is a violation of subsection (a)(l)(B) of section 337 in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or the sale within the United States after importation of certain lighting control devices including dimmer switches and/or switches and parts thereof by reason of infringement of one or more of claims 1,36,65, 83, 85, 87, 89,90,94, 112, 114, 116, 118, 119, 123, 149, 178, 193, 195, 197,199, and 200 of U.S. Patent No. 5,637,930; claims 44,47, and 49 0fU.S. Patent No. 5,248,919; claims 1-5,8-10, 12, and 22 of U.S. Patent No. 5,982,103; claims 151, 152, and 155-157 of U.S. Patent No. 5,905,442; and claims 1, 3, and 14 of U.S. Patent No. 5,736,965; and whether an industry in the United States exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337.

72 Fed. Reg. 16819-820.

The complainant is Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. (“Lutron”) of Coopersburg,

Pennsylvania. The respondents are: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc. (“Leviton”) of Little Neck,

New York; and Control4 of Salt Lake City, Utah. The Commission Investigative Staff (“Staff”)

Page 2: PUBLIC VERSION c- P q .?-3 UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL …images.mofcom.gov.cn/trb/accessory/200803/1206670363310.pdf · I, Marilyn R. Abbott, hereby certify that the attached ORDER

is also a party in this investigation. Id.

Lutron and Leviton filed a joint motion to terminate the investigation as to Leviton on the

basis of a settlement agreement (a copy of which is attached to the joint motion).' (Motion Dkt.

No. 599-6.) The Staff does not oppose the motion.

The agreement appears to resolve the dispute between Lutron and Leviton. In

satisfaction of 19 C.F.R. 8 21 0.2 1 (b)( l), movants state that there are no other agreements, written

or oral, express or implied, between them concerning the subject matter of this investigation. See

Joint Mot. at 1.

The Commission's Rules provide that in the case of a proposed termination by settlement

agreement, consent order, or arbitration agreement, the parties may file statements regarding the

impact of the proposed termination on the public interest, and the Administrative Law Judge may

hear argument, although no discovery may be compelled, with respect to issues relating solely to

the public interest. The Administrative Law Judge is directed to consider and make appropriate

findings regarding the effect of the proposed settlement on the public health and welfare,

competitive conditions in the United States, and United States consumers. See 19 C.F.R. tj

210.50(b)(2).

Movants argue that the requested termination is in the interests of the public and

administrative economy. Joint Mot. at 1. The Staff knows of no reason why termination of this

' In satisfaction of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, movants provided public and confidential versions of their agreement. See 19 C.F.R. 0 21 0.21 (b)( l), (c)( l)(ii) (public versions required for certain filings). Copies of those documents are attached to the respective public and confidential versions of this initial determination. See 19 C.F.R. fj 21 0.2 1 (b)(2), (c)( l)(ii) (certain documents must be certified with an initial determination terminating an investigation in whole or in part).

Page 3: PUBLIC VERSION c- P q .?-3 UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL …images.mofcom.gov.cn/trb/accessory/200803/1206670363310.pdf · I, Marilyn R. Abbott, hereby certify that the attached ORDER

investigation as to Leviton on the basis of the settlement agreement would be contrary to the

public health and welfare, competitive conditions in the domestic economy, the production of

like or directly competitive articles in the United States or United States consumers. Staff Resp.

at 4-5. Indeed, there is no evidence that termination of this investigation as requested in the joint

motion will prejudice the public interest. Furthermore, termination of litigation under these

circumstances as an alternative method of dispute resolution is generally in the public interest.

Accordingly, it is the initial determination of the undersigned that Motion No. 599-6 is

GRANTED. This investigation is terminated with respect to Leviton. The status of Control4,

the only remaining respondent, will be determined in a subsequent order.

Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. 9 21 0.42(h), this initial determination shall become the

determination of the Commission unless a party files a petition for review of the initial

determination pursuant to 19 C.F.R. 9 2 10.43(a), or the Commission, pursuant to 19 C.F.R.

0 2 10.44, orders on its own motion a review of the initial determination or certain issues

contained herein.

SO ORDERED.

foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to release claims, liabilities and demands against a

products.

7. Acknowledgement of Infringement as to ‘103 and ‘442 Patents, and No Challenge.

Notwithstanding any position taken by Leviton in the Actions or any other proceeding, Leviton

acknowledges and admits that the specific products accused of infringement in paragraphs 64-

68 and 70-71 of the Second Amended Complaint in the ITC Case do in fact infringe at least one

claim of both the ‘103 and ’442 patents. Leviton, however, does not admit that the infringement

was willful and Lutron agrees that it will not state or suggest that Leviton admitted to willfully

infringing either the ‘1 03 or ‘442 Patents. Except in defense of a claim for patent infringement

by Lutron alleging infringement of the Asserted Patents, as defined in the License Agreement,

Leviton agrees that it will not challenge at any time in any forum or proceeding the validity

and/or enforceability of any of the Asserted Patents. This provision does not affect any

expressly granted right of Leviton under Subsection 9.2 of the License Agreement. Leviton

agrees that it will not voluntarily assist anyone in challenging the validity and/or enforceability of

any of the Asserted Patents in any forum or proceeding, except in defense of a case in which

Leviton has been alleged to infringe the Asserted Patents. Leviton further agrees that it will not

voluntarily assist anyone in infringing any of the Asserted Patents. Leviton further agrees that it

6.5 Most Favored Licensee. If the terms in any license under the RF Patents provide for REDACTED

then Lutron shall promptly so notify Leviton, including the specifics of those said terms. If those said terms, in the context of the entire license, are more favorable than those provided in this License Agreement, then Leviton shall have the option of acquiring the benefit of such more favorable terms within thirty (30) days of said notice. The terms must be considered in the context of the license as a whole and must be adopted by Leviton in their entirety (including any less favorable terms) if it exercises this option. Leviton, however, shall not be entitled to the benefit of the terms of said other license if under said other license Lutron acquired patent rights or other non-monetary compensation that have actual value to Lutron and that Leviton cannot supply. Leviton’s exercise of the option set forth above shall be effective as of the effective date of such more favorable license agreement with the third party, and any credit due to Leviton shall be credited against future royalties due hereinunder, or if unrecouped, shall be refunded by Lutron upon termination.

6.6 Rovaltv ReDorts. Payment of the royalties shall include a report by SKU that lists Leviton’s total Net Sales Receipts and the royalties due for each Royalty Bearing Product for the previous calendar quarter (“Report“). In the event there are no royalties due in any quarterly period, the Report shall so state and provide the basis for no royalty payments being due. If the Royalties due and payable to Lutron from a prior period need to be corrected, Leviton shall be permitted to reflect such corrections on a subsequent Report provided that such corrections are explained in detail in such subsequent Report. Leviton will advise Lutron of any new model numbers and products that fall within the scope of Royalty Bearing Products under Exhibit “2” each calendar quarter in conjunction with the Reports.

6.7 Late Pavment. If any royalty payment owed by Leviton under Section 6 of this License Agreement is not paid when due, the unpaid amount shall bear interest, compounded annually, at an annual rate of three percent (3%) above the US Dollar LIBOR thirty day rate on the day payment was due, until paid. If such interest rate exceeds the applicable legal rate, the interest rate shall be reduced to the maximum allowable legal rate.

6.8 Audit. Leviton agrees to keep complete and accurate account of the information as specified in Sections 1.3 and 6.6 hereinabove for a period of three (3) years after royalties have been paid. Subject to the confidentiality requirements of Section 15, if an audit is requested by Lutron, Leviton shall select an independent certified public accountant that is not a certified public accountant Leviton normally employs and that is reasonably acceptable to Lutron. The accountant may examine Leviton’s relevant records no more than once per calendar year, and going back no more than three (3) years, during regular business hours, upon reasonable advance notice to Leviton, to the extent and insofar as is necessary to reasonably verify the accuracy of any Report. Once a year is audited, Lutron will not again audit such year unless Leviton makes corrections to such period under Section 6.6. The independent accountant shall execute and deliver to Leviton a standard confidentiality agreement and shall

The accountant may, however, disclose to Lutron whether the amount of royalties due is correct and, if incorrect, the specific details concerning any discrepancies and the amount due under this License Agreement. At such inspections, Leviton shall make backup documentation available to the accountant, in a manner sufficiently organized to enable the accountant to verify fully any Report required by this License Agreement. Lutron’s costs of such inspections shall be borne by Lutron, unless such inspection discloses an under-reporting of royalties of ten percent (10%) or more for a calendar year, in which case the cost of the entire inspection shall be borne by Leviton. If the accountant finds an underpayment of the amount owed to Lutron, the amount due and interest (as set forth in Section 6.7 above) shall be paid to Lutron within thirty (30) days of Lutron’s written notice of any deficiency. If the accountant finds an overpayment of the amount owed to Lutron, Lutron shall notify Leviton and the overpaid amount shall be credited to Leviton towards the next royalty period.

6.9 Royalties Diswte. Any dispute over whether an amount received by Leviton on the sale of the Royalty Bearing Products constitutes Net Sales Receipts under this License Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 7 and such dispute shall not be a basis for Lutron terminating this License Agreement or the licenses herein granted except where Leviton fails to timely pay any award of the arbitrator. Any issue or dispute as to whether a Leviton product should be classified as a Royalty Bearing Product is not subject to arbitration.

7. Arbitration. This Section on arbitration only applies to controversies or claims arising as allowed under Section 6.9 above. Other controversies shall not be subject to Arbitration. The arbitrable claims shall be finally settled under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) as modified below.

9. Termination and Breach.

9.1 The License Agreement shall terminate as c the last Lutron Subject Patent Right or Leviton Subject Patent Right to lapse or expire. Leviton’s Obligation to pay royalties for the RF Products under this License Agreement, however, will end upon the expiration of the last of the RF Patents.

9.2 If all of claims 1-5, 8-10, 12, 22, 23, 24, and 27 of the ’103 patent and claims 151-152, 155-1 57, and 160 of the ‘442 patent are challenged by a third party and declared invalid, unenforceable or modified as a result of any final, binding, non-appealable decision of a competent judicial tribunal or a final, non-appealable decision by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, then Leviton shall notify Lutron by written objection, and may contest its future obligations from the date of Leviton’s written objection under this Agreement as to affected Royalty Bearing Products. In so contesting its obligations, Leviton must base its contest solely on the grounds set forth in the new judicial decision. Under no circumstances shall Leviton be entitled to a refund of payments accrued and/or paid prior to such objection.

9.3 If Leviton breaches a material term or condition of this License Agreement, Lutron shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this License Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Leviton. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cure provision of Section 8.2 is in lieu of and not in addition to the cure provision in this Section 9.3. If any such default or breach is substantially cured within said sixty (60) days, this License Agreement shall not be terminated. Termination shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Lutron at law or in equity and subject to the limitations in Section 6. If arbitration is applicable, prior to any termination becoming effective, Leviton shall have the right to proceed to arbitration in accordance with Section 7 to resolve any disputes that are the subject matter of the default or breach and the License Agreement shall remain in effect during the pendency of the arbitration according to Section 6.

9.4 If Leviton becomes insolvent, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or is adjudged bankrupt, or if a receiver or trustee of Leviton’s property is appointed, this License Agreement shall be immediately terminable at the option of Lutron.

9.5 The waiver by the Parties of any breach, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein.

9.6 Upon termination of this License Agreement for any reason, nothing herein shall be construed to release Leviton from any obligation which matured prior to the effective date of such termination, including the obligation to report revenues and pay license fees for the last calendar quarter in which the License Agreement was in effect. After the effective date of such termination, Leviton may continue thereafter to distribute products licensed pursuant to Section 2 that have been paid for by its customers prior to the effective date of termination of this License Agreement: provided that Leviton submits reports and pays license fees with respect thereto as if this License Agreement were still in effect.
