SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation

N.V. of Eindhoven, Netherlands, and NXP USA, Inc. of Austin, Texas
[[Page 46997]]
(collectively, ``Complainants''). 86 FR 69289-90 (Dec. 7, 2021). The
complaint alleges a violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act, as
amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, from the importation, sale for importation, or
sale in the United States after importation of certain integrated
circuits, chipsets, and electronic devices, and products containing the
same by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos.
9,729,214 (``the '214 patent''); 10,904,058 (``the '058 patent'');
8,482,136 (``the '136 patent''); 7,593,202; and 8,558,591. Id. at
69289. The complaint further alleges the existence of a domestic
industry. Id. The Commission's notice of investigation names the
following respondents: MediaTek Inc. of Hsinchu City, Taiwan; MediaTek
USA Inc. of San Jose, California (collectively, ``MediaTek'');
<a href="http://Amazon.com">Amazon.com</a>, Inc. of Seattle, Washington; Belkin International, Inc. of
Playa Vista, California; and Linksys USA, Inc. of Irvine, California
(all collectively, ``Respondents''). Id. at 69290. The Office of Unfair
Import Investigations (``OUII'') is also a party to this investigation.
Id.
The Commission previously terminated the investigation as to the
'136 patent and certain claims of the '214 and '058 patents. Order No.
20 (May 31, 2022); unreviewed by Notice (June 21, 2022).
On July 12, 2022, Complainants and Respondents filed a joint motion
to terminate the investigation based on a settlement agreement between
the Complainants and MediaTek that resolves all disputes between
Complainants and Respondents. No opposition to the motion was filed.
On July 13, 2022, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 30),
granting the joint motion to terminate the investigation based on
settlement. The ID finds that the motion for termination satisfies
Commission Rule 210.21(b) (19 CFR 210.21(b)) and that no extraordinary
circumstances exist that would prevent the requested termination. 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 voted to approve this determination on July 25,
2022.
The authority for the Commission's determinations 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: July 26, 2022.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
