SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on March 1, 2013, based on a complaint filed by Adaptix, Inc., of
Carrollton, Texas (``Adaptix''). 78 FR 13895 (March 1, 2013). The
complaint 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 wireless communications base stations and
components thereof by reason of infringement of U.S. Patent No.
6,870,808. The notice of investigation named Telefonaktiebolaget LM
Ericsson, of Stockholm, Sweden, and Ericsson Inc., of Plano, Texas
(collectively, ``Ericsson''), as respondents.
On December 3, 2013, Adaptix filed a motion to terminate the
investigation in its entirety based on withdrawal of the complaint.
Ericsson did not oppose the motion, and the Commission investigative
attorney supported the motion.
On December 12, 2013, the ALJ issued an initial determination
(Order No. 35) granting the motion. The ALJ noted that Adaptix
certified that there are no agreements between the parties concerning
the subject matter of the investigation and found that there are no
extraordinary circumstances that should prevent Adaptix from
withdrawing the complaint. The ALJ also found that terminating the
investigation would conserve public and private resources. No petitions
for review of the ID have been filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the ID.
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.
Dated: January 6, 2014.
Lisa R. Barton,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
