SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on March 27, 2025, based on a complaint filed by AX Wireless, LLC of
Austin, Texas (``Complainant''). 90 FR 13879-80 (Mar. 27, 2025). 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, the sale for importation, or the sale within the
United States after importation of certain video game consoles, routers
and gateways, and components thereof by reason of the infringement of
certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 10,917,272; 11,646,927; 11,777,776;
and 12,063,134. Id. The complaint further alleges that a domestic
industry exists. Id. The Commission's notice of investigation names
four respondents, including: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. of
Tokyo, Japan and Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC of San Mateo,
California (collectively, ``Sony''); Vantiva SA of Paris, France; and
Vantiva USA, LLC of Norcross, Georgia. Id. The Office of Unfair Import
Investigations (``OUII'') is participating in the investigation. Id.
The Commission previously terminated Vantiva SA and Vantiva USA,
LLC based on settlement. Order No. 20 (Aug. 28, 2025), unreviewed by
Comm'n Notice (Sept. 18, 2025).
On September 25, 2025, Complainant filed an unopposed motion for
termination of this investigation in its entirety based on a settlement
agreement between Complainant and Sony. On September 26, 2025,
Complainant filed a corrected version of its motion that attached the
settlement, which was inadvertently not attached to the original
motion. On September 29, 2025, OUII filed a response in support of the
motion. No other responses to the motion were filed.
On September 29, 2025, the presiding ALJ issued the subject ID
granting the unopposed motion to terminate the investigation in its
entirety. See Order No. 24 (Sept. 29, 2025). 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 subject ID also finds that termination based on settlement
would not be contrary to the public interest.
No party petitioned for review of the subject ID.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID (Order
No. 24). The investigation is terminated.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on December
5, 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: December 5, 2025.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
