Inc., Adeia Semiconductor Bonding Technologies, Inc., and Adeia
Holdings Inc., all of San Jose, CA (collectively, ``Adeia''). 90 FR
59,579-580 (Dec. 19, 2025). The complaint, as supplemented, alleged
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, and the sale within the United States after importation of
certain semiconductor devices, computing products containing the same,
and components thereof by reason of the infringement of certain claims
of U.S.
[[Page 23307]]
Patent No. 11,978,681; U.S. Patent No. 12,199,069; U.S. Patent No.
12,322,650; and U.S. Patent No. 12,381,173. The complaint, as
supplemented, further alleged that an industry in the United States
exists or is in the process of being established as required by the
applicable Federal Statute. The Commission's notice of investigation
named Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (``AMD'') of Santa Clara, CA; Lenovo
(United States) Inc. of Morrisville, NC; Lenovo Group Limited of Hong
Kong; Lenovo Information Products (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. of Shenzhen,
China, and Super Micro Computer, Inc. of San Jose, CA, as respondents.
Id. at 59,580. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations (``OUII'')
was also named as a party in this investigation.
On March 11, 2026, Complainant Adeia and Respondent AMD moved to
terminate the investigation based on a settlement agreement between
Adeia and AMD. See Order No. 11 at 1 (Mar. 31, 2026). Additionally,
Adeia moved to withdraw the complaint as to the other respondents in
the investigation and limit service of the agreement. Id. On March 19,
2026, the ALJ issued Order No. 10, finding the motion did not comply
with Commission Rule 210.21(b)(1) because the ``public version of the
settlement agreement was over-redacted.'' Order No. 10 at 1-2 (Mar. 19,
2026); see 19 CFR 210.21(b)(1). The ALJ directed Adeia and AMD to file
an amended public version of the agreement. Id. at 2. OUII filed a
statement in support of the motion to the extent Adeia and AMD comply
with Order No. 10. On March 27, 2026, an amended public version of the
agreement was filed.
On March 31, 2026, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 11),
granting the joint motion to terminate the above-captioned
investigation as to AMD based on a settlement agreement and as to the
remaining respondents based on withdrawal of the complaint. The ID
found the motion with the amended public version of the settlement
agreement complies with the Commission Rules. Order No. 11 at 2. The ID
also found that there are no extraordinary circumstances that warrant
denying the motion and there is no evidence indicating that terminating
this investigation based on the agreement would be contrary to the
public interest. Id. at 2-3. 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 April 27,
2026.
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: April 27, 2026.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
