SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 4, 2021, the Commission
instituted this investigation based on a complaint filed on behalf of
Honeywell International Inc., Hand Held Products, Inc., and Metrologic
Instruments, Inc. (collectively, ``Complainants''), all of Charlotte,
North Carolina. 86 FR 60915 (Nov. 4, 2021). The complaint alleges
violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19
U.S.C. 1337, based upon the importation into the United States, the
sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after
importation of certain bar code scanners, mobile computers with bar
code scanning capabilities, scan engines, and components thereof that
infringe one of more claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,794,520 (``the '520
patent''); 7,568,628 (``the '628 patent''); 7,770,799 (``the '799
patent''); 9,576,169 (``the '169 patent''); and 10,721,429 (``the '429
patent''). Id. The complaint also alleges that a domestic industry
exists or is in the process of being established. Id. The Commission's
notice of investigation named Zebra Technologies Corporation of
Lincolnshire, Illinois and Symbol Technologies, Inc. of Holtsville, New
York (collectively, ``Respondents'') as respondents. Id. The Office of
Unfair Import Investigations is participating in this investigation.
Id.
The Commission previously terminated the investigation as to the
'520 patent and certain claims of the '628, '799, '169, and '429
patents. Order No. 13 (Apr. 7, 2022), unreviewed by Notice (Apr. 25,
2022); Order No. 19 (May 27, 2022), unreviewed by Notice (June 13,
2022).
On July 11, 2022, Complainants and Respondents filed a joint motion
to terminate the investigation based on a license and settlement
agreement between the parties. No opposition to the motion was filed.
On July 12, 2022, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 23),
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 vote for this determination took place on August 4,
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: August 4, 2022.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
