sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after
importation of certain liquid crystal display modules, products
containing the same, and methods for making the same by reason of
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,379,140;

Park, New Jersey; and Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. of San Jose,
California.
On February 12, 2010, Sharp moved to terminate the investigation on
the basis of a settlement agreement. The Commission investigative
attorney filed a response in support of the motion, and no party
opposed the motion.
The ALJ issued the subject ID on February 26, 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 investigation 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 investigation 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
