SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 26, 2023, the Commission 

instituted this investigation under 

section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (‘‘section 

337’’), based on a complaint filed by 

Wangs Alliance Corporation d/b/a, 

WAC Lighting of Port Washington, New 

York (‘‘Complainant’’). See 88 FR 

73620–21 (Oct. 26, 2023). The 

complaint alleges a violation of section 

337 based upon the importation into the 

United States, sale for importation, or 

sale after importation into the United 

States of certain smart ceiling fans, 

components thereof, and associated 

systems and software thereof, by reason 

of infringement of certain claims of U.S. 

Patent Nos. 11,028,854 (‘‘the ’854 

patent’’); 10,488,897 (‘‘the ’897 patent’’); 

and 11,598,345 (‘‘the ’345 patent’’). Id. 

The complaint further alleges that a 

domestic industry exists. Id. The notice 

of investigation names the following 

respondents: Minka Lighting, LLC of 

Newport News, Virginia and Tech 

Lighting LLC and VC Brands, LLC, both 

of Skokie, Illinois (collectively, 

‘‘Respondents’’). Id. The Office of Unfair 

Import Investigations is not 

participating in this investigation. Id. 

The Commission previously 

terminated the investigation as to claims 

2 and 3 of the ’854 patent, claims 6, 8, 

9, 10, 12, 13, and 14 of the ’345 patent, 

and all asserted claims of the ’897 

patent. Order No. 16 (Apr. 23, 2024), 

unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (May 15, 

2024). 

On July 3, 2024, Complainant filed an 

unopposed motion to terminate the 

investigation in its entirety based on the 

parties’ agreement, as detailed in 

footnote 1 of the motion, to withdraw 

the complaint. On August 5, 2024, 

pursuant to Order No. 22, Complainant 

filed a declaration confirming that the 

unopposed motion captures the entirety 

of the parties’ agreements. Respondents 

did not file a response to the unopposed 

motion. 

On August 14, 2024, the ALJ issued 

the subject ID (Order No. 23) granting 

Complainant’s unopposed motion to 

terminate the investigation in its 

entirety. Order No. 23 (Aug. 14, 2024). 

The subject ID finds that Complainant 

meets the requirements of Commission 

Rule 210.21(a) (19 CFR 210.21(a)), and 

that there are no extraordinary 

circumstances that would prevent the 

requested partial termination of the 

investigation. The subject ID further 

finds that terminating this investigation 

will not be contrary to the public 

interest. 

No party petitioned for review of the 

subject ID. 

The Commission has determined not 

to review the subject ID (Order No. 23). 

The investigation is terminated in its 

entirety. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on September 

9, 2024. 

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: September 9, 2024.

this investigation. 

On July 18, 2024, Complainant and 

Respondents filed a joint motion (the 

‘‘Motion’’) to terminate the investigation 

on the basis of a confidential settlement 

agreement. On July 26, 2024, OUII filed 

a response noting that the Motion failed 

to comply with the Commission Rules 

requiring a public version of the 

settlement agreement. On July 29, 2024, 

the CALJ denied the Motion with leave 

to refile. Order No. 8 (July 29, 2024). On 

August 1, 2024 and August 2, 2024, 

Complainant and Respondents notified 

the CALJ that they no longer maintained 

that their settlement agreement was 

confidential. See ID at 2. 

On August 16, 2024, the CALJ issued 

the subject ID granting the Motion. The 

CALJ found that the Motion complied 

with the requirements of 19 CFR 

210.21(b)(1). ID at 2. The CALJ also 

found that ‘‘any effect that terminating 

this investigation on the basis of 

settlement may have on the statutory 

public interest factors does not counsel 

against entry of the order.’’ Id. at 3. The 

subject ID was issued publicly with the 

settlement agreement attached as 

Exhibit A. Id. at Exhibit A. No petitions 

for review of the subject ID were filed. 

The Commission has determined not 

to review the subject ID. The
