SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted the present 
investigation on February 12, 2021, based on a complaint and supplement 
thereto filed by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. of Gyeonggi-do, Korea 
and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. of Ridgefield Park, New Jersey 
(collectively, ``Complainants''). 85 FR 9370-71 (Feb. 12, 2021). The 
complaint, as supplemented, alleged violations of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based upon the 
importation, sale for importation, and sale in the United States after 
importation of certain wireless communications equipment and components 
thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 
9,041,074; U.S. Patent No. 9,521,616; U.S. Patent No. 9,736,772; and 
U.S. Patent No. 10,797,405. Id. at 9371. The complaint further alleged 
that an industry in the United States exists or is in the process of 
being established, as required by section 337. Id. The notice of 
investigation named Ericsson AB of Stockholm, Sweden, and 
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson of Stockholm, Sweden, and Ericsson 
Inc., of Plano, Texas. Id.
    On May 14, 2021, the parties filed a joint motion to terminate the 
investigation based on settlement. The parties represent that ``there 
are no other agreements, written or oral, expressed or implied between 
Samsung and Ericsson concerning the subject matter of the 
investigation.'' See ID at 2.
    On June 10, 2021, the presiding administrative law judge issued 
Order No. 9, granting the joint motion to terminate the investigation. 
The ID finds that the motion complies with the requirements of 
Commission Rule 210.21(19 CFR 210.21) and there will not be a negative 
impact on the public interest. No party filed a petition for review of 
the ID.
    The Commission has determined not to review this ID. The 
investigation is terminated.
    The Commission vote for this determination took place on June 28, 
2021.
    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: June 28, 2021.
