SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on February 25, 2021, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Wilson
Electronics LLC of St. George, Utah (``Wilson''). 86 FR 11553-554 (Feb.
25, 2021). The complaint, as supplemented, alleged violations of
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337,
based upon the importation into the United States, the sale for
importation, and 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
U.S. Patent Nos. 7,221,967 (``the '967 patent''); 7,409,186; 7,486,929;
7,729,669 (``the '669 patent''); 7,783,318 (``the '318 patent'');
8,583,033 (``the '033 patent''); 8,583,034; 8,639,180; 8,755,399;
8,849,187; 8,874,029; and 8,874,030. The complaint, as supplemented,
further alleged that an industry in the United States exists as
required by the applicable Federal Statute. 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 '967,
'669, '318, and '033 patents as to the accused products identified in
the notice of investigation. Id. The notice of investigation named as
respondents: Cellphone-Mate, Inc. d/b/a SureCall of Fremont, California
and Shenzhen SureCall Communication Technology Co., Ltd. of Shenzhen,
China (collectively, ``SureCall'').
On May 12, 2021, Wilson and SureCall filed a joint motion to
terminate the investigation based on a settlement agreement.
On May 14, 2021, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the joint
motion to terminate pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(b)(1) (19 CFR
210.21(b)(1)). See Order No. 7 at 1-2 (May 14, 2021). The ALJ found
that the motion to terminate complies with the Commission's rules and
that there is no evidence that terminating this investigation by
settlement would be contrary to the public interest. Id. at 2. No
petitions for review were filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The
investigation is terminated in its entirety.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on May 27,
2021.
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: May 27, 2021.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
