SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted Inv. No. 337-TA-
900 on November 15, 2013, based on a complaint filed by Furuno Electric
Co., Ltd. of Hyogo, Japan and Furuno U.S.A., Inc. of Camas, Washington
(``Furuno''). 78 FR 68861-62 (Nov. 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 navigation products, including GPS devices, navigation and
display systems, radar systems, navigational aids, mapping systems and
related software by reason of infringement of various claims of United
States Patent Nos. 6,084,565; 7,161,561; 6,424,292; and 7,768,447. The
notice of investigation named the following respondents: Garmin Ltd. of
Schaffhausen, Switzerland; Garmin International, Inc.; Garmin North
America, Inc.; Garmin USA, Inc. all of Olathe, Kansas (collectively,
``Garmin''); Navico Holding AS of Egersund, Norway; Navico UK Limited
of Romsey Hampshire, United Kingdom; Navico Inc. of Tulsa, Oklahoma
(collectively, ``Navico''); and Raymarine. The Office of Unfair Import
Investigations is a party to the investigation.
On April 8, 2014, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No 14), terminating
the
[[Page 57977]]
investigation as to Navico based upon settlement. On June 30, 2014, the
ALJ issued an ID (Order No 23), terminating the investigation as to
Garmin based upon settlement. The Commission determined not to review
those IDs.
On August 13, 2014, Furuno and Raymarine filed a joint unopposed
motion to terminate the investigation as to Raymarine based upon
settlement. On August 19, 2014, the Commission investigative attorney
filed a response in support of the motion.
On August 21, 2014, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting the
motion to terminate the investigation as to Raymarine. The ALJ found
that confidential and public copies of the settlement agreement were
provided in compliance with the requirements of Commission Rule
210.21(b)(1) (19 CFR 210.21(b)(1)), and that terminating the
investigation would not be contrary to the public interest.
The Commission has determined not to review the ID. 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: September 22, 2014.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
