SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on February 22, 2021, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Ericsson
Inc. of Plano, Texas and Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson of Sweden
(collectively, ``Ericsson''). 86 FR 10596 (Feb. 22, 2021). 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 cellular communications
infrastructure systems, components thereof, and products containing
same by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos.
9,037,166; 9,107,082; 9,509,605; and 9,692,682. 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 and
Samsung Electronics America, Inc. of Ridgefield Park, New Jersey
(collectively, ``Samsung''). Id. The Office of Unfair Import
Investigations is not participating in this investigation.
On July 13, 2021, Ericsson 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 July 22, 2021, the ALJ issued Order No. 6, 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 10,
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.
