SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[top] The Commission instituted this investigation on November 2, 2021, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Bell Northern Research, LLC of Chicago, Illinois ("BNR"). 86 FR 60467 (Nov. 2, 2021). The complaint alleged a violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based upon the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain electronic devices having wireless communication capabilities and components thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,204,554; 7,319,889; RE 48,629; and 8,416,862. Id. at 60467-
On May 31, 2022, pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(b) (19 CFR 210.21(b)), complainant BNR and respondent BLU filed a joint motion to terminate this investigation as to BLU based on a settlement agreement. On June 10, 2022, OUII filed a response supporting the motion.
On June 16, 2022, the ALJ issued Order No. 23, the subject ID, which granted the motion. The ID found that the motion complied with the Commission's Rules and that terminating the investigation as to BLU would not be contrary to the public interest. No petitions for review of the ID were filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID.
The investigation is hereby terminated as to BLU Products, Inc. of Doral, Florida. Because BLU is the last remaining respondent, this investigation is hereby terminated in its entirety.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on June 29, 2022.
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: June 30, 2022.
