    .Patent No. 7,751,826 ("the '826 patent"). The complaint further alleges the existence of adomestic industry. The Commission's notice of investigation named Apple Inc. of Cupertino,California ("Apple") as respondent. The Office of Unfair Import Investigation ("OUII") wasnamed as a participating party, however, on July 29,2011, OUII withdrew from furtherparticipation in the investigation. See Commission Investigative Staffs Notice ofNonparticipation (July 29, 2011). The Commission later partially terminated the investigation asto the '317 patent and the '826 patent. Notice (June 28, 2011); Notice (Jan 27, 2012).

    On April 24, 2012, the presiding administrative law judge ("ALJ") issued his final initialdetermination ("Final ID"), finding a violation of section 337 as to the '697 patent and noviolation of section 337 as to the '223 patent, the '333 patent, and the '862 patent. On May 9,2012, the ALJ issued a recommended determination on remedy and bonding.On June 25, 20 l 2, the Commission determined to review the Final ID in part. 77 Fed.Reg. 38826-29 (June 29, 20 12). On August 24, 20 l 2, the Commission found no violation withrespect to the '333 patent, the '697 patent, and the '223 patent. 77 Fed Reg 52759-761 (Aug.30, 2012). The Commission remanded the investigation to the ALJ with respect to the '862

    patent upon reversing his finding that the patent is invalid as indefinite. Id ; see Order (Aug. 24,20 12). Specifically, the Commission instructed the ALJ to make findings regarding infringement,validity, and domestic industry concerning the '862 patent. The Commission's Order instructedthe ALJ to set a new target as necessary to accommodate the remand proceedings. On October I,2012, the ALJ issued Order No. 36, setting the target date for completion of the remandproceedings as April22, 2013. Order No. 36 (Oct. I, 2012). On October 18,2012, theCommission determined not to review the ID setting the new target date. Notice (Oct. 18, 20 12).

    On December 18, 2012, the ALJ issued his final initial determination on remand("Remand ID"), finding no violation of section 337 with respect to the '862 patent. In particular,the ALJ found that the relevant accused products infringe claim 1 of the '862 patent literally andunder the doctrine of equivalents, but that claim 1 is invalid as anticipated by U.S. Patent No.

    patent. The Commission also determined to review the Remand ID's finding that the accusedproducts literally infringe claim I. The Commission further determined to review the Remand!D's finding that claim I of the '862 patent is anticipated and its finding that claim I was notshown to be obvious. The Commission determined not to review the remaining issues in theRemand ID and adopted those findings. In connection with the question ofwhether claim I ofthe '862 patent is obvious, the Commission posed the following question to the parties:

    Does the evidence in the record support a finding that claim I of the '862patent is obvious in view ofHarris '464 in combination with theknowledge of one of ordinruy skill in the art or in combination withHoeksma '298 where the evidence demonstrates that the existence ofportable communication devices using "touch sensitive input devices,"including touch screens, were known in the art prior to the filing of theapplication leading to the '862 patent and is disclosed in Hoeksma '298?In discussing this issue, please refer to the teachings of the references, theknowledge of one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of filing ofthe '862 patent application, and the evidence in the record regarding themotivation to combine Harris '464 with the knowledge of one of ordinaryskill in the art or with Hoeksma '298. Also, please address whether thereare any secondary considerations that would prevent a finding ofobviousness.

    78 Fed. Reg. at 12786.On March 8, 2013, Motorola and Apple filed initial submissions in response to theCommission's Notice ofReview. On March 15,2013, Motorola filed a response to Apple's
