The complaint, as supplemented, alleged violations of section 337 of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), based on the
importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or the
sale within the United States after importation of certain cellular
signal boosters, repeaters, bi-directional amplifiers, and components
thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of eleven patents,
including U.S. Patent Nos. 7,486,929 (``the '929 patent''); 7,409,186
(``the '186 patent''); 8,755,399 (``the '399 patent''); and 8,849,187
(``the '187 patent''). Id. at 11553. The complaint, as supplemented,
further alleged that a domestic industry exists. Id. The Commission
instituted three separate investigations, and defined the scope of the
present investigation as whether there is a violation of section 337
based on the allegations of infringement as to the asserted claims of
the '929, '186, '399, and '187 patents as to the accused products
identified in the notice of investigation. Id. The notice of
investigation named two respondents: Cellphone-Mate, Inc. d/b/a
SureCall of Fremont, California; and Shenzhen SureCall Communication
Technology Co., Ltd. of Shenzhen, China. Id. The Office of Unfair
Import Investigations is not named as a party. Id.
On May 12, 2021, the parties jointly moved to terminate this
investigation based on a settlement agreement. On May 13, 2021, the ALJ

investigation. The ID explained that the parties provided confidential
and public versions of the settlement agreement. ID at 2. The parties
also stated that there are no other agreements, written or oral,
express or implied, regarding the subject matter of this Investigation.

public interest. Id. No petitions for review were filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The
investigation is terminated.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on May 27,
