SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on March 15, 2013, based on a complaint filed by Tela Innovations,
Inc., of Los Gatos, California (``Tela''). 78 FR 16533 (March 15,
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 integrated circuit devices and
products containing the same by reason of infringement of various
claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,264,049; 8,264,044; 8,258,550; 8,258,547;
8,217,428; 8,258,552; 8,030,689. The notice of investigation named the
following entities as respondents: Motorola Mobility LLC, of
Libertyville, Illinois (``Motorola''); Pantech Co., Ltd., of the
Republic of Korea; Pantech Wireless, Inc., of Atlanta, Georgia
(collectively, ``Pantech''); and Remaining Respondents. The Office of
Unfair Import Investigations is a party to the investigation.
On July 21, 2014, the ALJ issued IDs (Order Nos. 68 and 69),
terminating the investigation as to Motorola and Pantech based upon
settlement and consent order stipulations, respectively. The Commission
determined not to review.
On July 31, 2014, Tela and Remaining Respondents filed a joint
unopposed motion to terminate the investigation as to Remaining
Respondents based upon (1) settlement under 19 CFR 210.21(b) or (2)
withdrawal of the complaint under 19 CFR 210.21(a). On August 1, 2014,
the Commission investigative attorney filed a response in support of
the motion to terminate the investigation.
On August 1, 2014, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting the
motion to terminate the investigation as to Remaining Respondents. The
ALJ found that the parties complied with the requirements of Commission
rules 210.21(a)(1) and 210.21(b)(1) (19 CFR 210.21(a)(1),
210.21(b)(1)), and that terminating Remaining Respondents from the
investigation would not be contrary to the public interest. None of the
parties petitioned for review of the ID.
The Commission has determined not to review the ID and terminates
Remaining Respondents under 19 CFR 210.21(a)(1), withdrawal of the
complaint. This terminates the investigation in its entirety.
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: August 28, 2014.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
