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 rotating 3-D LiDAR devices, components
thereof, and sensing systems containing the same by reason of
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,969,558 and U.S.
Patent No. 9,983,297. Id. The complaint further alleges that a domestic

On December 8, 2022, the ALJ issued the subject ID, which granted
Velodyne's unopposed motion to terminate this investigation in its
entirety based on its withdrawal of the complaint. The ALJ found that
Velodyne's motion complied with the requirements of Commission Rule
210.21(a)(1) and that no extraordinary circumstances warranted denying
the motion. No petitions for review of the ID were filed.
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 January 9,
2023.
