on February 3, 2014, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Macronix 
International Co., Ltd. of Hsin-chu, Taiwan and Macronix America, Inc. 
of Milpitas, California. 79 FR 6227-28. The complaint, as amended, 
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 non-volatile memory devices and products 
containing the same by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. 
Patent Nos. 6,552,360; 6,100,557; and 6,002,630. The complaint further 
alleges a domestic industry exists or is in the process of being 
established. The Commission's notice of investigation, as amended, 
named the following respondents: Spansion, Inc., Spansion LLC, and 
Ruckus Wireless, Inc., all of Sunnyvale, California; Spansion 
(Thailand) Ltd. of Nonthaburi, Thailand; Tellabs Operations, Inc. and 
Tellabs North America, Inc., both of Naperville, Illinois 
(collectively, ``the Tellabs respondents''); Beats Electronics LLC of 
Santa Monica, California; Delphi Automotive PLC of Kent, United 
Kingdom; Delphi Automotive Systems, LLC of Troy, Michigan; Harman 
International Industries, Inc. of Stamford, Connecticut; Harman Becker 
Automotive Systems, Inc. of Farmington Hills, Michigan; and Harman 
Becker Automotive Systems GmbH of Karlsbad, Germany. The Office of 
Unfair Import Investigations participated in the investigation.
    On September 4, 2014, the Commission issued notice of its 
determination not to review the ALJ's ID (Order No. 15) terminating the 
investigation as to original respondent Tellabs, Inc. of Naperville, 
Illinois, and amending the complaint and notice of investigation to 
substitute the Tellabs respondents for Tellabs, Inc.
    On January 29, 2015, complainants and all respondents jointly moved 
to terminate the investigation with respect to all respondents based on 
a settlement agreement. The Commission investigative attorney filed a 
response supporting the motion.
    On January 30, 2015, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 23) 
granting the joint motion for termination of the investigation as to 
all respondents. He found that the motion satisfies Commission rules 
210.21(a)(2), (b)(1). No party petitioned for review of the ID.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID, and has 
terminated the investigation.
    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: March 4, 2015.
