On May 29, 2025, SiOnyx moved for termination of this investigation
in its entirety based on settlement. ID at 1 (citing Mot. at 1). The
motion notes that it is ``based on a Patent License Agreement between
SiOnyx and [non-party] RPX Corporation (`RPX') and a Release Agreement
between SiOnyx and Respondents Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (`SEC') on
behalf of all Respondents.'' Id. at 1 (citing Mot. at 1). The motion
notes that Respondents do not oppose the motion. No responses to the
motion were filed.
On June 9, 2025, the presiding ALJ issued the subject ID granting
the motion to terminate the investigation and a Notice of Errata to the
subject ID. See Order No. 60 (June 9, 2025); Notice of Errata to Order
No. 60 (June 9, 2025) (identifying Order No. 60 as an initial
determination). The subject ID finds that the motion complies with
Commission Rule 210.21(b)(1) (19 CFR 210.21(b)) and that no
extraordinary circumstances prevent granting the motion. The ID also
finds that termination of the investigation based on settlement would
not be contrary to the public interest.
No petitions for review of the ID were filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID (Order
No. 60). The investigation is terminated.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on June 20,
2025.
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: June 20, 2025.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
