on January 14, 2016, based on an amended complaint filed by Saxon Glass 
Technologies, Inc. of Alfred, New York (``Saxon''). 81 FR 1965 (Jan. 
14, 2016). The amended 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, or the sale within 
the United States after importation of certain electronic devices 
containing strengthened glass and packaging thereof. The alleged 
violation of section 337 is based upon U.S. Trademark Registration No. 
2,639,419, as well as common law trademark infringement and dilution. 
The notice of investigation named as the respondent Apple Inc. of 
Cupertino, California (``Apple''). 81 FR 1965. The Office of Unfair 
Import Investigations was also named as a party.
    On July 25, 2016, Saxon moved to terminate the investigation in its 
entirety based upon withdrawal of the complaint. On July 27, 2016, 
Apple responded in opposition to the motion. On August 1, 2016, the 
Commission investigative attorney responded in support of the motion.
    On August 10, 2016, the ALJ granted the motion as the subject ID 
(Order No. 12). The ALJ found that the motion complied with Commission 
Rules, and that extraordinary circumstances did not exist to prevent 
granting the motion. Id. at 2-3; see 19 CFR 210.21(a).
    No petitions for review of the ID were 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.
