                    On September 14, 2021, 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 Motorola Solutions, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois (“Motorola Solutions”); Avigilon Corporation of British Columbia, Canada; Avigilon Fortress Corporation of British Columbia, Canada; Avigilon Patent Holding 1 Corporation of British Columbia, Canada (“Avigilon Patent Holding”); and Avigilon Technologies Corporation of British Columbia, Canada (collectively, “Complainants”).                     *See*86 FR 51182-83 (Sept. 14, 2021). 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 video security equipment and systems, related software, components thereof, and products containing same by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,868,912 (“the '912 patent”); 10,726,312 (“the '312 patent”); and 8,508,607 (“the '607 patent”) (collectively, “the Asserted Patents”).                     *Id.*                     The complaint further alleges that a domestic industry exists.                     *Id.*                     The notice of investigation names Verkada Inc. of San Mateo, California as the only respondent.                     *Id.*                     The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is also named as a party.                     *Id.*

                    On December 27, 2021, Complainants filed an unopposed motion seeking leave to file an amended complaint and notice of investigation to reflect the transfer of all right, title, and interest in: (1) The '312 patent from Avigilon Corporation to Motorola Solutions; (2)                           ( print page 4659)                        the '912 patent from Avigilon Fortress Corporation to Motorola Solutions; and (3) the '607 patent from Avigilon Patent Holding to Motorola Solutions. The motion also seeks to add a recent new licensee, Avigilon USA Corporation of Dallas, Texas, as an additional complainant.                

On December 28, 2021, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 7) granting Complainants' unopposed motion for leave to amend the complaint and notice of investigation.

The subject ID finds that Complainants' unopposed motion is supported by good cause pursuant to Commission Rule 210.14(b) (19 CFR 210.14(b)) and that there is no prejudice to any party if the motion is granted.
