SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this enforcement
proceeding on December 18, 2009, based on a complaint filed by Samsung
Electronics Co., Ltd. (``Samsung'') of Korea. 74 FR 67248. The
complaint alleges violations of the limited exclusion order and cease
and desist orders issued at the conclusion of the underlying
investigation, where the Commission found a violation 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 liquid
crystal display devices and products containing the same by reason of
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,771,344. The
Commission's notice of enforcement proceeding named the following
respondents: Sharp Corporation of Japan; Sharp Electronics Corporation
of Mahwah, New Jersey; and Sharp Electronics Manufacturing, Company of
America, Inc. of San Diego, California (collectively, ``Sharp'').
On February 12, 2010, Samsung and Sharp jointly moved to terminate
the enforcement proceeding on the basis of a settlement agreement. No
party opposed the motion.
The ALJ issued the subject ID on March 5, 2010, granting the motion
for termination. He found that the motion for termination satisfies
Commission rule 210.21(b). He further found, pursuant to Commission
rule 210.50(b)(2), that termination of this enforcement proceeding by
settlement agreement is in the public interest. No party petitioned for
review of the ID. The Commission has determined not to review the ID,
and the enforcement proceeding is terminated.
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 sections 210.21 and 210.42(h) of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (19 CFR 210.21, 210.42(h).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: March 19, 2010.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
