instituted this investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (``section 337''), based on a 
complaint filed by BH Innovations LLC of New York, New York, as amended

LCD Advancements Ltd., both of Dublin, Ireland (``Complainants''). See

crystal display devices, components thereof, and products containing 
the same by reason of the infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent 
Nos. 7,705,948 and 7,570,334. Id. The complaint also alleges that a 
domestic industry exists. Id. The notice of investigation names twenty 
respondents, including: HKC Corporation Ltd. of Shenzhen City, China;

termination of the investigation based on withdrawal of the complaint 
pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(a)(1) (19 CFR 210.21(a)(1)). The 
second amended motion stated that Respondents do not oppose the motion. 
The second amended motion includes unredacted copies of settlement 
agreements that were not properly included with the original motion, 
filed on June 25, 2026, or with the first amended motion, also filed on

terminating the investigation as to all respondents. The subject ID 
confirms that Complainants' second amended motion complies with 
Commission Rule 210.21(a)(1) (19 CFR 210.21(a)(1)) and finds that 
terminating the investigation will conserve public and private 
resources. No party petitioned for review of the subject ID.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The 
investigation is terminated.
    The Commission vote for this determination took place on August 20,
