instituted this investigation based on a 

complaint filed by Maxell, Ltd. 

(‘‘Maxell’’) of Kyoto, Japan. 87 FR 64110 

(Oct. 21, 2022). The complaint alleged 

violations of section 337 based on the 

importation into the United States, the 

sale for importation, or the sale within 

the United States after importation of 

certain smart televisions by reason of 

infringement of one or more of claim 4 

of U.S. Patent No. 8,549,109; claims 2, 

4, 5, 7, and 8 of U.S. Patent No. 

8,170,394; claim 1 of U.S. Patent No. 

10,958,971; and claims 1 and 21 of U.S. 

Patent No. 11,017,815. Id. The 

Commission’s notice of investigation 

named VIZIO, Inc. (‘‘VIZIO’’) of Irvine, 

California as the sole respondent. The 

Office of Unfair Import Investigations 

was not named as a party in this 

investigation. Id. 

On August 25, 2023, Maxell and 

VIZIO jointly moved to terminate the 

investigation in its entirety based upon 

reaching a settlement agreement. 

On August 30, 2023, the ALJ issued 

the subject ID granting the motion. The 

ID observed that Commission Rule 

210.21(a)(2) provides that ‘‘[a]ny party 

may move at any time to terminate an 

investigation in whole or in part as to 

any or all respondents on the basis of 

settlement, a licensing or other 

agreement . . . .’’ ID at 1 (citing 19 CFR 

210.21(a)(2)). The ID found that in 

compliance with 19 CFR 210.21(b)(1), 

the parties certify that ‘‘there are no 

other agreements, written or oral, 

express or implied, between the parties 

concerning the subject matter of the 

investigation.’’ Id. The parties also 

submitted confidential and public 

versions of the settlement agreement. Id. 

The ID further found that ‘‘termination 

of this investigation by settlement will 

not adversely affect the public interest.’’ 

Id. (citing 19 CFR 210.50(b)(2)). No one 

petitioned for review of the subject ID. 

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 September 

22, 2023. 

The authority for the Commission’s 

determination is contained in section

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Viking Therapeutics, Inc. of San Diego,

the importation, sale for importation, or

hormone receptor-beta agonists, 

processes for manufacturing or relating

Bioscience Co. of Hangzhou, Zhejiang 

Province, China; Gannex Pharma Co. of 

Shanghai, China; and Jinzi Jason Wu of 

Seattle, Washington (all collectively, 

‘‘the Ascletis Respondents’’). Id. The 

Office of Unfair Import Investigation is 

also participating in the investigation. 

Id. 

On June 30, 2023, Viking filed an 

Omnibus Motion for Monetary and NonMonetary Sanctions Against 

Respondents and their Counsel, alleging 

failure to cooperate during discovery, 

failure to cooperate during forensic 

examinations, and violations of the 

terms of certain orders. 

On August 10, 2023, Foster, Murphy, 

Altman & Nickel, PC (‘‘Foster Murphy’’) 

moved to intervene in this investigation 

for the limited purpose of defending 

Foster Murphy and its attorneys’ 

interest in response to complainant 

Viking’s omnibus motion for sanctions. 

The motion was unopposed. 

On August 28, 2023, the presiding 

administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued 

the subject ID (Order No. 37) pursuant 

to Commission Rule 210.19 (19 CFR 

210.19) granting Foster Murphy’s 

motion to intervene. Order No. 37 (Aug. 

28, 2023). The ALJ states that the 

sanctions motion seeks joint and several 

liability between the Ascletis 

Respondents and Foster Murphy for 

discovery abuse. Id. at 4–5. The ALJ 

finds that Viking’s sanctions motion 

makes specific allegations that implicate 

Foster Murphy and its attorneys. Id. at 

5. The ALJ finds that, in view of these 

separate interests, the limited purpose 

of the intervention, and the lack of 

opposition, Foster Murphy’s motion to 

intervene is granted. Id. at 6. 

No party filed a petition for review. 

The Commission has determined not 

to review the subject ID. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on September 

22, 2023. 

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).
