SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on March 26, 2021, based on a complaint filed by Samsung Display Co. of
Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea, and Intellectual Keystone Technology
LLC of Wilmington, Delaware (collectively, ``Complainants''). 86 FR
16237 (March 26, 2021). The complaint, as corrected and supplemented,
alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (``Section 337''), based on the importation
into the United States, sale for importation, or sale within the United
States after importation of certain organic light-emitting diode
displays, components thereof, and products containing same, by reason
of infringement of one or more of the asserted claims of U.S. Patent
Nos. 6,845,016; 7,342,177; and 7,230,593. Id. The complaint also
alleges that a domestic industry exists. Id.
The Commission's notice of investigation names the following
respondents: ASUSTeK Computer, Inc. of Taipei, Taiwan and ASUS Computer
International of Fremont, California (collectively, ``ASUS''); and
JOLED Inc. of Tokyo, Japan (``JOLED''). Id. The Office of Unfair Import
Investigations was not named as a party to this investigation. Id.
On May 3, 2021, Complainants filed an unopposed motion to withdraw
the complaint with respect to ASUS. On the same date, Complainants and
JOLED filed a joint motion to terminate the investigation with respect
to JOLED, the sole remaining respondent, due to a settlement agreement
and thereby terminate the investigation in its entirety. Both motions
were unopposed.
On May 19, 2021, the presiding ALJ issued the two subject IDs. In
Order No. 11, the ALJ granted, pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(a)(1)
(19 CFR 210.21(a)(1)), Complainants' unopposed motion to partially
terminate the investigation with respect to ASUS based on withdrawal of
the allegations in the complaint. Order No. 11 (May 19, 2021). The ID
finds that there are no agreements, written or oral, express or
implied, between Complainants and ASUS. In Order No. 12, the ALJ
granted, pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(b) (19 CFR 210.21(b)), the
joint motion to terminate the investigation with respect to JOLED based
on settlement and thereby terminate the investigation in its entirety.
The ID finds that there are no other agreements, written or oral,
express or implied, between Complainants and JOLED concerning the
subject matter of the investigation. In both IDs, the ALJ found there
are no extraordinary circumstances that would prevent termination of
the investigation and that terminating the investigation will conserve
public and private resources and thus benefit the public interest.
No party filed a petition to review either Orders No. 11 or 12.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject IDs.
Accordingly, the investigation is terminated with respect to ASUS and
JOLED, as well as in its entirety.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on June 8,
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: June 8, 2021.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
