Tessera Receives Favorable Notice of Initial Determination in Broadcom ITC Investigation

SAN JOSE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — June 30, 2017 — Tessera Technologies, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Tessera”), announced today that Administrative Law Judge Sandra Dee Lord of the U.S. International Trade Commission ("ITC"), issued a Notice of Initial Determination (“ID”) in Certain Semiconductor Devices, Semiconductor Device Packages, And Products Containing Same, Investigation No. 337-TA-1010. Tessera is a subsidiary of Xperi Corporation (NASDAQ: XPER) (the “Company”).

The notice includes only a brief summary of the ID’s conclusions. According to the notice, ALJ Lord found a violation of Section 337 of the Tariff Act due to infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,849,946 by Broadcom and its named customers. She found that U.S. Patent No. 6,133,136 was infringed and valid, but found no violation due to lack of domestic industry. She found no violation with respect to U.S. Patent No. 6,856,007.

The parties and their counsel have not yet received the full ID, which is subject to confidentiality restrictions. Thus, no further details on the substance of the decision, including details about the scope of the ALJ’s infringement finding, are available at this time. After the Company’s counsel receives the full ID, which it anticipates to be within the next few days, the Company will determine whether further comment on the decision is appropriate.

The ID is now subject to review by the Commissioners at the ITC. Any remedies would not issue until the completion of the investigation, which at this time is scheduled for October 30, 2017.
