SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on August 31, 2011, based on a complaint filed by Rovi. 76 FR 54253 (Aug. 31, 2011). The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,305,016; 7,493,643; and RE41,993.

On October 4, 2011, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 5) granting the motion for termination of the investigation in its entirety. In the subject ID, the ALJ found that the parties satisfied all the requirements under 19 CFR 210.21(b)(1), including a statement that the parties have no other agreements concerning the subject matter of this investigation.

Accordingly, the Commission has modified the ALJ’s ID to include a consideration of the final agreement. 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 section 210.45 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.45).
