granting a joint motion to terminate the investigation in its entirety

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on March 16, 2018, based on a complaint filed by Lumencor, Inc. of
Beaverton, Oregon (``Lumencor''). 83 FR 11789 (Mar. 16, 2018). The
complaint alleges 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 light engines and components thereof by reason
of infringement of one or more of claims 1-6, 10, 11, and 16-19 of U.S.
Patent No. 9,574,722 (``the '722 patent''); claims 1-3, 5, 7, 9, 11-13,
15, 17, and 20 of U.S. Patent No. 9,395,055 (``the '055 patent''); and
claims 1, 4, 6, 7, 9, 16, and 18 of U.S. Patent No. 8,493,564 (``the
'564 patent''). The notice of investigation named the following
respondents: Excelitas Technologies Corp. of Waltham, Massachusetts and
Lumen Dynamics Group, Inc. of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
(collectively, ``Respondents''). The Office of Unfair Import
Investigations is not a party to the investigation.
On March 15, 2018, Lumencor and Respondents filed a joint motion to
terminate the investigation in its entirety based upon consent order
stipulation. No responses to the motion were filed. We note that the
Commission issued its notice to institute this investigation on March
12, 2018, but the notice did not appear in the Federal Register until
March 16, 2018.
On March 20, 2018, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting the
motion. On March 26, 2018, the ALJ issued errata correcting a
typographical error on page 2 of the ID (changing ``Lumencor also
agrees to'' to ``Respondents also agree to''). The ALJ found that the
consent order stipulation complies with the requirements of Commission
Rule 210.21(c)(3) (19 CFR 210.21(c)(3)), and that terminating the
investigation in its entirety 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 to issue
consent order herewith.
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: April 6, 2018.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
