investigation as to Qualcomm based on settlement. See Order No. 17
(Apr. 19, 2026), unreviewed by Comm'n Notice (May 1, 2026). On June 16,
2026, the Commission terminated the investigation as to LGE based on
settlement. See Order No. 25 (May 15, 2026), unreviewed by Comm'n
Notice (June 16, 2026). On June 16, 2026, the Commission terminated the
investigation as to Coosea based on settlement. See Order No. 27 (May
27, 2026), unreviewed by Comm'n Notice (June 24, 2026). On September 3,
2026, the Commission terminated the investigation as to BLU based on
settlement. See Order No. 31 (Aug. 5, 2026), unreviewed by Comm'n

On July 31, 2026, AWT filed an unopposed motion to terminate TCL
and T-Mobile from the investigation on the basis of settlement. AWT
certified that the motion is unopposed. On August 10, 2026, T-Mobile
filed a response to the motion identifying an additional agreement
between AWT and T-Mobile.
On August 14, 2026, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 32),
granting the motion to terminate the investigation as to TCL and T-
Mobile, the last remaining respondents, and terminating the
investigation in its entirety. The subject ID finds that the motion
meets the requirements of Commission Rules 210.21(b)(1) and
210.50(b)(2) (19 CFR 210.21(b)(1), 210.50(b)(2)), and that there are no
extraordinary circumstances that would prevent the requested
termination of the investigation. No petition for review of the ID was
filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID.
Accordingly, the Commission terminates the last remaining respondents
TCL and T-Mobile from the investigation and thus terminates the
investigation in its entirety.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on September
15, 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

By order of the Commission.
Issued: September 15, 2026.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
