SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 8, 2021, the Commission instituted
this investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (``section 337''), based on a complaint filed
by Evolved Wireless, LLC of Austin, Texas (``Evolved''). 86 FR 13399-
400 (Mar. 8, 2021). The complaint alleged a violation of section 337 in
the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or
the sale within the United States after importation of certain LTE-
compliant cellular communication devices by reason of infringement of
certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. RE46,679; RE48,326 (``the '326
patent''); and 10,517,120 (``the '120 patent''). The complaint also
alleged the existence of a domestic industry. The notice of
investigation named Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. of Gyeonngi-Do,
Republic of Korea; Samsung Electronics America, Inc. of Ridgefield
Park, New Jersey; and Motorola Mobility LLC of Chicago, Illinois as
respondents. Id. at 13400. The Commission's Office of Unfair Import
Investigations was also named as a party in this investigation. Id.
Subsequently, the Commission terminated all asserted claims of the '120
patent and claims 19 and 20 of the '326 patent from the investigation
by reason of withdrawal of the complaint allegations. Order No. 15
(Aug. 26, 2021), unreviewed by Notice (Sep. 24, 2021); Order No. 26
(Dec. 3, 2021), unreviewed by Notice (Dec. 20, 2021).
On January 13, 2022, complainant Evolved filed an unopposed motion
to terminate this investigation by reason of withdrawal of complaint
allegations under Commission Rule 210.21(a), 19 CFR 210.21(a). On
January 19, 2022, the Commission investigative attorney filed a
contingent statement of support of the motion.
On January 31, 2022, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 36)
granting complainant's motion. The ID finds that there are no
extraordinary circumstances that would prevent the requested
termination of this investigation. The ID also finds Evolved has
complied with the requirements of Commission Rule 210.21(a). No party
petitioned for review of the ID.
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 February
22, 2022.
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: February 22, 2022.
