SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on March 11, 2022, based on a complaint, as supplemented, filed by
Honeywell International Inc. of Charlotte, North Carolina and Hand Held
Products, Inc. of Charlotte, North Carolina (collectively,
``Honeywell''). 87 FR 38423-24 (June 28, 2022). The complaint, as
supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation into the United
States, sale for importation, or sale in the United States after
importation of certain barcode scanners, scan engines, mobile computers
with barcode scanning functionalities, products containing the same,
and components thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of
U.S. Patent Nos. 11,323,949; 11,323,650; 7,852,519; and 9,258,188. Id.
The complaint further alleges that a domestic industry exists. Id.
The Commission's notice of investigation named the following
respondents: Zebra Technologies Corp. of Lincolnshire, Illinois and
Symbol Technologies, LLC of Holtsville, New York (collectively,
``Zebra''). The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is not
participating as a party in this investigation.
On July 11, 2022, Honeywell and Zebra jointly moved to terminate
the investigation based on a settlement agreement.
On July 12, 2022, the presiding ALJ issued the subject ID (Order
No. 3) granting the joint motion to terminate the investigation. The ID
finds that, pursuant to Commission Rules 210.21(a), (b) (19 CFR
210.21(a), (b)), Honeywell and Zebra represent that there are no other
agreements, express or implied, oral or written, between them regarding
the subject matter of this investigation. The ID further finds that
termination is proper because it would not be contrary to the public
health and welfare, competitive conditions in the U.S. economy, the
production of like or directly competitive conditions in the United
States, or U.S. consumers. The ID further finds that termination is in
the public interest, and it will conserve public and private resources.
No party filed a petition for review of the subject ID.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID.
Accordingly, the investigation is hereby terminated.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on August 11,
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 11, 2022.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
