SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on December 1, 2020, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Pictos
Technologies, Inc. of San Jose, California (``Pictos''). 85 FR 77238-39
(Dec. 1, 2020). The complaint, as amended, alleged violations of
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in
the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or
the sale within the United States after importation of certain digital
imaging devices and products containing the same and components thereof
by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos.
7,800,145, 6,838,651, 7,323,671, and 7,064,768. Id. The amended
complaint further alleged violations of section 337 based upon the
importation into the United States, or in the sale of certain digital
imaging devices and products containing the same and components thereof
by reason of misappropriation of trade secrets. Id. The complaint also
alleged that an industry in the United States exists as required by
section 337. Id. The Commission's notice of investigation named as
respondents Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. of Republic of Korea; Samsung
Electronics America, Inc. of Ridgefield Park, New Jersey; and Samsung
Semiconductor, Inc. of San Jose, California (collectively,
``Samsung''). Id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations (``OUII'')
is participating in the investigation. Id.
On June 21, 2021, Pictos and Samsung jointly moved pursuant to 19
CFR 210.21(a)(2) and (b) to terminate the investigation based on a
settlement agreement (``the Agreement''). The motion attached public
and confidential versions of the Agreement. On June 24, 2021, OUII
filed a statement in support of the motion.
On July 16, 2021, the ALJ issued Order No. 23, the subject ID,
which granted the motion. The ID found that the motion complied with
the Commission's Rules and that there are no extraordinary
circumstances that warrant denying the motion. The ID also found that
there is no evidence indicating that terminating this investigation
would be contrary to the public interest. No petitions for review of
the ID were received.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The
investigation is hereby terminated in its entirety.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on August 2,
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: August 2, 2021.
Katherine Hiner,
Supervisory Attorney.
