SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation

violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19
U.S.C. 1337 (``section 337''), in the importation into the United
States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States
after importation of certain marine sonar imaging devices, products
containing the same, and components thereof, by reason of infringement
of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,300,499 and 8,305,840. The
Commission's notice of investigation named as respondents Raymarine,
Inc. of Nashua, New Hampshire; Raymarine UK Ltd. of Fareham, United
Kingdom; and In-Tech Electronics Ltd. of Hong Kong. The notice of
investigation was later amended to add as respondents Raymarine Belgium
BVBA, In-Tech Electronics (Shenzhen) Ltd., and In-Tech Science &
Technology R&D Ltd.
On March 19, 2014, all parties filed a joint motion to terminate
the investigation based on a settlement agreement. The parties attached
a settlement agreement, and indicated that there are no other
agreements, written or oral, express or implied, between Navico and any
of the respondents concerning the subject matter of this investigation.
The parties also stated that the termination of the investigation would
not harm the public interest, and that it is in the interest of public
and administrative economy to grant the motion.
On March 24, 2014, the ALJ granted the parties' motion, and issued
the subject ID, terminating the investigation based on a settlement
agreement. The ALJ found that termination was in the public interest,
and that the motion complied with applicable Commission rules. See,
e.g., 19 CFR 210.21(a)(2) and (b)(1), 210.50(b)(2). No petitions for
review were filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject 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).
Dated: April 21, 2014.
By order of the Commission.
