SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 17, 2019, the Commission 

instituted this investigation based on a 

complaint filed by complainant 

Innovation Sciences LLC of Plano, 

Texas (‘‘Innovation’’). 84 FR 55583. The 

complaint (and supplement thereto) 

alleges violations 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, or the sale within the 

United States after importation of 

certain wireless communication 

devices, and related components thereof 

by reason of infringement of certain 

claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 10,136,179 

and 10,104,425. Id. The Commission’s 

notice of investigation named as 

respondents HTC Corporation of 

Taiwan, HTC America, Inc. of Seattle, 

Washington (collectively, ‘‘HTC’’), and 

Resideo Technologies, Inc. of Austin, 

Texas (‘‘Resideo’’). Id. at 55584. The 

Office of Unfair Import Investigations 

(‘‘OUII’’) was also named as a party to 

this investigation. Id. 

On October 21, 2020, this 

investigation was terminated as to 

Resideo. Order No. 45 (Oct. 6, 2020), 

unreviewed, Notice (Oct. 21, 2020). 

On November 10, 2020, and pursuant 

to Commission Rule 210.21(b), 

Innovation and HTC filed a joint motion 

to terminate the investigation as to HTC 

based upon a settlement agreement. A 

corrected version of the motion was 

filed on November 16, 2020. On 

November 19, 2020, OUII filed a 

response supporting that motion. 

On November 24, 2020, the ALJ 

issued Order No. 48, which granted the 

motion. The ID found that the joint 

motion complied with Commission 

Rules 210.21(a)(1) and 210.21(b)(1), and 

that terminating the investigation as to 

HTC was not contrary to the public 

interest. Because the HTC respondents 

were the only remaining respondents, 

the ID would result in the termination 

of the investigation in its entirety. No 

petitions for review of the ID were filed. 

The Commission has determined not 

to review the subject ID. 

The investigation is hereby 

terminated in its entirety. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on December 

8, 2020. 

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).
